Obviously, they cannot REQUIRE someone to be a minority to apply for their assistance.. but I vividly recall when I was in my 20's, I had a masters degree in computer science... yet could not find a job. The main reason that my HONEST resume was not good enough to compete with the lies of other people's fraudulent resume's. I could have lied also, BUT what is the point of going through all the time and expense and work to get a legitimate degree.. and then use a commercial copy machine to produce a fake one? ANYWAY.. I went to the United Way for help. 100% of the people there were black.. staff and applicants. They looked at me like I just landed from Mars. I don't recall what the woman said, but she basically told me that I was wasting my time there.. because I was not black.
Similarly, there were some 2 job openings for someone in the computer science field for government jobs with the county. They required all the applicants to show up at a specific time and take a 3 hour exam. A perfect score on the exam gave you 100 points. One also got an additional 20 points for being a minority, 20 points for being a military veteran, 20 points for being handicapped, 20 points for being female. So.. a handicapped, female, veteran who was a minority got 80 points added to their exam score.. so if they got a perfect score on their exam.. they got 180 points. Only people who got at least 120 points were eligible to be interviewed. Well.. I got a perfect score.. there's 100 points.. but I did not qualify for any EXTRA points.. so I wasted my time - WHITEY NEED NOT APPLY!
