i may just be a redneck whitey ยป

as my friend said because of my predisposition to wear abercrombie clothes, but this lawsuit pisses me off. i mean, yeah, diversity is nice and all, but so is freedom. last time i checked, america was a free, capitalist nation, not some sort of socialist hellhole. abercrombie is a private company. the government has no business at all mucking with their hiring or advertising practices.

if people aren't happy with abercrombie's treatment of minorities, then boycott them! smear their name! apply for a different job! don't buy their fudging clothes! but oh no, that's not what americans want to do! that's not enough. here in the good ole us of a, it's all about lawsuits. bring a bias case against them! cry until the judges agree to give you $40 million. cuz that's how we do it in america.

the all-american entitlement mentality: if you don't like something, call a lawyer.



[fyi i am neither a redneck nor a whitey.]

You worked at the Gap because they for whatever reason hired you. Being a huge fan of Abercrombie with relevant experience, wouldn't you be pretty pissed if they didn't hire you just because you're not white, blonde, and perky?

i might be pissed but if i were, i'd take the sort of action i specified -- boycotting, telling people they suck, not wearing their clothes, etc. it's their prerogative to hire the people who they feel are best suited to their company, and if it's all beautiful white people, then so be it. i certainly wouldn't sue.
