May 29, 201213 yr https://thehill.com/b...ntaged-minority The ADC petition cited “discrimination and prejudice in American society[,] resulting in conditions under which Arab-American individuals have been unable to compete in a business world.” The group claimed discrimination against Arab Americans increased after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
May 29, 201213 yr What a load of shit. Everyone is now exploiting their ethnic identity to compensate or to gain a competitive advantage. If you have "American" in your demonym, you are not a disadvantaged minority.
May 29, 201213 yr BIG "2"; "American" in your demonym, you are not a disadvantaged minority. Unless you are Irish and then you should be able to drink for free.....
May 30, 201213 yr For being norwegian american, I don't get shit. I do not either. I think we should start an organization to petition. Scandinavians and Himalayans Engaging Malicious Americans for Leverage and Eminence, or simply the SHEMALE Movement. The name can be worked out...it seems a little long...
May 30, 201213 yr Actually there is a disadvantaged American group these days : "White American Male"...
May 30, 201213 yr One wonders...in 20 years, whites are projected to become a minority in America as the Hispanic population continues to grow. Once we become a minority, will we be eligible for quotas at universities and special consideration for jobs?
May 30, 201213 yr Actually there is a disadvantaged American group these days : "Straight, White American Male"... FIFY
May 30, 201213 yr What people do not realize is that as long as you play the victim card, you will always be a victim. Calling out supposed discrimination practices and subtly asking for special treatment only amplifies your differences in a negative way. The less you flaunt your race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation in the face of others, the less people will care. I am not saying to not respect your unique culture or not have pride in where you come from, but bragging about how different you are and then crying foul when treated differently is stupid.
May 31, 201213 yr Once we become a minority, will we be eligible for quotas at universities and special consideration for jobs? Nope...
May 31, 201213 yr Actually there is a disadvantaged American group these days : "White American Male"... Combating the stupidity of this one by playing the victim card yourself. Nice.
