There's a major racial issue in that town between the immigrants and the native African-Americans. The African Americans have a "they are taking our jobs" mentality towards the immigrants and they live in the same "ghettos" so to speak so there are many violent hate crimes committed from both parts.
My Mom has to be very careful when hiring African Americans because the racial tensions between both races tend to ignite in the workplace, generally insinuated by the African Americans.
It's a horrible environment for racial tensions. This story just made me think about that. And no, she doesn't care much, the racist views don't affect the performance of the hispanic employees, but it does majorly affect the performance of the African American employees, which is why my Mom understood why she felt that way.
It's a tough place, that town. It's very easy to criticize a situation from the outside, but being that there, it's difficult to understand but some people do let their opinions of races be affected by bad experiences. It's a difficult concept for people outside of said areas to understand but it's cool. Wishing bad things on others instead of wishing that they would realize that their hatred is absurd and would learn tolerance TOTALLY is a good thing to do.
Is it normal that I feel sick when I smell that 'black people' smell?
