I'm pretty sure of it.

How about oil rig worker jobs are high paying and mostly held by skilled, white males.... yanno. The ones that don't seem to want the low pay, crop picking ones that mega-bucks argricultural corporations offer migrant workers. Just the legal, ones, of course... they never bring undocumented workers over the borders in the back of trucks like they were cattle.

But! BP did hire unskilled workers, mostly Latino to clean LA beaches during Obama's prior visit to LA. Only on a temporary basis, however, they were there only while the President was, haven't been back. Rumor has it that they were not even LA residents just like the private security companies BP hired to keep the press off the beaches and await from the marshes. Yanno, the public beaches in which during a time of emergency, the state of LA would have full control over...

Freaking BP couldn't even pay local unemployed residents to do their scams with! As if there are not a ton of people there right now unable to fish! Oh, then there is the millions BP has put into ads to tell people how much they are going to do in the clean-up….

How's that? Kind of a stretch, but the only things I could come up with...
