Well, LGBTQ's are taking jobs from heteros. Especially in the media and entertainment industries.

claiming that construction sites are not employing local workers in minority communities and outsourcing to White people.


I thought this only happened in New Orleans

Lots of fiber optic infrastructure work here in my little SWLA town. Dirt work, ditch witches, shovels…. I have yet to pass any site they are working on where a Afro American is on the work crew. Zero! nada! None!

It looks like to me the brown folks are taking the black folkses jobs.

Maybe instead of trying to direct all these kids into college, or treat their schools like day care, how about funding vo tech programs for these black kids?

So upon graduation, they can start an apprenticeship.

Construction requires both a decent work ethic and a medium level of skill.

Hispanics don’t seem to be lacking in those areas.

Hmmmmmmmmmm??????

Many of the skills needed for construction are taught by one’s father.

Hmmmmmmmmm

I live in an Ag heavy area. Most of our labor including a lot of skilled construction jobs are filled by Hispanics.

Well, after all Democrats consider latinos to be "white" in some situations.
