Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]

True enough, Alien.
Here in the US, companies, indeed society in general, have bent over backwards
to attempt to accommodate "others" aka people of color within their organization.
However, all too often, the toxic effects of affirmative action have led to the exact
opposite from what was originally intended, that is, the proverbial fair shake for
everybody.

In my opinion, if an applicant is plain unqualified for the job, don't hire them,
even if they look like Marilyn Monroe, that is, Beyonce and have umpteen church recommendations, bribed the hirer etc.
But in places such as New York City, their complexion is their protection (quoting
Mayoral Presumptive Curtis Sliwa)!

Perhaps the reason for all the discord leading to continued bloodshed
dates back to 1948, when Israel "won" her War of Independence by displacing
the native Palestinian Arabs already living in "Israeli" territory for thousands of years!

Above all, Jews have traditionally been far more assimilated within Western Europe, at least,
than most Muslims in my experience. One reason for this of course has been centuries long
intermarriage between Jews and gentiles. Perhaps in Poland or the Ukraine not as common,
however in France and Germany, very common, especially after the period of the Enlightenment!

You're right, Alien!
However, let's not forget either that the Jews were the key target of Nazi hatred
because the German masses were encouraged to be afraid that the Jews would
somehow take over the country, even if they were only about 4/5ths of the entire
population of Germany.

@Przylotnyptak,
No one is more against rogue outsourcing than I am! Trump, as with many Republicans,
and not only MAGA/MAGGOT, wants to screw the middle class by farming out homegrown
work opportunities to cheaper labor countries in order to keep the profits for themselves
instead of paying out to the expert, quality professionals who deserve to be paid well for their
services.

Study the Kondraiev Wave and read up on the the "soft money" vs. the "hard money" cycle.
Not long after WWII, Americans were able to pursue careers in areas both interesting as well
as modestly profitable such as traditional publishing, advertising and college teaching. This was
the case until roughly around the advent of the Reagan Era, during which time, the "hard money"
cycle slowly began to take effect and those aforementioned professions began to give way to
high tech fields, leaving those skilled in language communication in the dust, save for those who
could either bribe, cajole or con their way into making a career for themselves which would allow
them to do more than live from paycheck to paycheck:-)

Yours truly was clever, more than skilled, enough to follow suit.

Unfortunately, gumishu. we aren't and, as usual, it's the poor who will be, indeed who are, most affected!
Just remember, the only crime in the US is that of being poor.

I used to have a small free-lance translation firm and before we sold out to a larger competitor,
we typically would allow our support staff to help themselves to note pads, paper clips, other incidentals
which might help out those not in charge, but still in need of such basic supplies.

Other businesses often did the same. However, far too many, above all law firms, would typically
fleece millions from their clients, while penalizing by firing needy employees for "taking" one legal
pad from the supply closet.

This is where I draw the line.

@jon, I agree! Trump doesn't.

True enough, however, the more pressing issue really should be medicines such
as Tetracycline along with other drugs and antibiotics which are imported and which
might be weakened if they contain cheapened ingredients!

Spices, rice, certain types of seafood.
Trump claims he wants to encourage "Made in the USA".
However, he has has a history of outsourcing native born staff
and hires solely Hispanic labor at Mara Lago.

They're not, gumishu, trust me! I live in the US and all the tariffs are doing is making Chinese imports more
unattainable for millions of poorer working class Americans who need medicines, food stuffs etc. from countries such as
China and India, on whose services we so desperately depend.

I see. And apparently you aren't aware that all those BREXIT supporters are now
no longer so keen on their decision. State of reality?? Whose, mate?

Originally, the idea of NATO was for the US to help Europe if and when
needed. Trump wants to blame the EU for the latter's so-called dependency,
not realizing that we all need each need one another.

After all, where would America have been without the RAF??
