Racism and bigotry...

My own...

While job hunting I am finding that about 50 percent of the jobs that I am techn qualified for required the employee to be bilingual in spanish...

It's logicalre

We live in a area where a large percentage of the population is hispanic. Of course busns are going to want to make it easier on customers and employees to communicate...

In my mind it's just another skill set like Sales Force or Excel..

Except it's a skill set I don't have and can't learn it in 48 hrs like some of the basic computer programs...

Today after seeing several jobs that I would love to apply for I had THE thouht...

*Why should I have to speak a foreign language to work in a country where the offical lanuage is the one I speak"

*SHAME* red hot burny shame hit right after I had that thought..

Am I becoming one of those people? Is the next one going to be.. Well, the wages suck because so and so will work so cheap and they take all the jobs anyway....

SHAME....

The fact is... The job market I am interested in requires me to be bilingual in spanish in this area... There is nothing negitive about this... (except the fact I don't have the skill set at this time) It is simply a fact.

I am a racist... I was conditioned, raised and reinforced...

But I don't have to like it, I don't have to give into it and I always must strive to reprogram that white privilage tape
