Do you think this is discrimination?

I don't think it was discrimnation, just stupid on the newspaper lady's part. I'm not 100% sure what her point was, but it sounds like she was just on a power-trip.

Yes, I am upset that they are looking for bi-linguals.\nThis is the USA, and there is only one language, which the last time I check was ENGLISH.  I believe that when they put these type of "qualifiers" in a job advertisement, they are discriminating against those who speak just one language.  Just as you CANNOT ask age, weight, or marital status, this should be another one of those items of discussion that must be avoided.

I think women are discriminated against. The sexual side of that discrimination is the most atrocious, but there are also other levels of discriminatory behavior that I think are not quite as sinister. I am a man, and I always see women as weaker than I am and in need of help. That could be seen as discriminatory if I am a manager, and am always helping the women in my area more then the men. Or, if I help certain women because of that natural male come to the rescue thing we all have. Personally though I think this is a much broader topic, than just sexist, or racist (which is the usual alternate to this question).

Well, in regards to what other commenters have said - I doubt it could be considered 'discrimination'. They're looking for a specific demographic and you don't fall into it. I tried to take the survey as well, and I'm 24. They didn't want me because I'm in marketing. \n\nSo, don't take it personally. They're just not interested in our demographic types.

It is a crime --- you have to prove discrimination get a good lawyer and go fight for your rights -\n\n The jobs you listed have by far(nation wide) more whites employees than other minorities.\n\nIn my home town --- on the local fire dept. there was only one black person (full time employee) the rest are white. My nursing class had about 40 students (only 2 black students).\n I still find for the most part people go where they feel comfortable (accepted).

I would guess that if you are a member of any so-called minority group then everything you do is considered special and historic, even if it is the same thing done routinely by others every day.  This is a form of reverse discrimination and politically-correct favoritism.

Recognizing racial discrimination...

Discrimination exists all over the world. Don't be so naive to think it just happens in America.

I agree with you that it does occur, though I feel people too often cry discrimination just so they can get something out of it, not necessarily because it truly occurred.  Sorry if that's not really an opposing argument, but perhaps it will add another angle to your paper?

I think this is wrong. People shouldnt be singled out because of their race or sexuallity. We are all different and yet the same! We should all be open minded.

Absolutely not. This company was making an effort to abide by federal laws. Of course their are people who say that it is discriminatory, but they are the same people who are breaking federal laws. Two months to find a solution to a S.S.N. problem is more than enough time. these people are illegal aliens and should be deported upon discovery.

Well, I am neither bi-racial or multiracial, but I notice being white I still face discrimination sometimes.  Some people automatically assume I am racist, even though I am so far from it.  For example, the other day at work a Hispanic couple (their race doesn't matter to me, but it illustrates the point) came up to pay for their dinner with a credit card.  Our policy is that we ask everyone for I.D. when they are paying with a card.  It's for their protection, but also because we have seen cases of fraud.  Anyhow, he seemed a little irritated, but he showed me, finished the bill and left.  About 20 minutes later his wife called and spoke to my manager and said that I was being racist asking for I.D. because they were Hispanic.  My manager explained that asking for I.D. is a company policy and that I was only doing what I was told.  She told them next time they came in that they would receive a free dinner.  However, when she hung up, she came and told me she had watched me when they were paying and that I had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that if those people ever came in again to let her know so that she would ask them to leave.  It kinda bothered me because I know I am not racist in the slightest, but I just laughed it off because I knew it was their ignorance and not mine.  Gosh, sorry for making this so long.

Is this a serious question or just an exteriorisation of your prejudice?

I believe this happens all the time and I also think it is racism all the same.  Just because the discrimination from another culture is being executed towards a caucasion person doesn't make it reverse discriimination..it is racism.  \n\nThe ignorance in our society is so much in abundance that it pits one culture against another through the lack of morals and judgments one makes.  I have been called every name in the book except for a white woman and I am a white woman with a german heritage.  It doesn't make me any better than another and I take this into consideration no matter what the color of anothers skin or racial upbringing.

Well, there is no such thing as "reverse discrimination."  Discrimination is discrimination, no matter which race is doing it to which.  If you are personally upset because you feel as though someone is discriminating against you solely based on the color of your skin -- whatever that color might be -- you should speak out against it.  It is not considered a hate crime as long as the manner in which you are speaking out is peaceful, free of hate speech and/or actions, and is geared toward working out a solution instead of propogating a long-standing opposition.

I would contact a lawyer and see if there is any federal regulations against that type of discrimination and if there is sue them under that.
