@Lucas Anglocius proctor and gamble?

Yeah

Its real big in my city to get hired there. They will decline students if they cant pass their test.

That's good to hear

In Griggs v. Duke Power Company The Supreme Court decided in 1971 that requiring job applicants to take IQ tests (or any test that can't be shown to measure skill related to the job) violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Wouldn't want intelligent workers at companies, now would they. ^ <:really:453005408064241674>

@Asatru Artist - MD That's what I've been saying

about conservatives

@ophiuchus I can actually respond to this, having gone to college in Washington, where affirmative action is illegal

I personally got in through affirmative action, because it will see facto exists

What they do is they ask essay questions that you can only reasonably answer if you're a minority

For example, they'll have a carefully worded question about diversity and cultural differences and the like

I wrote my essay on coming from a Polish immigrant family

Is Elizabeth Warren white?

I have zero fucking idea what a real American would write about

@Jacob that's when you shapeshift into whatever your ethnic heritage is

@Freiheit - CA According to her? No...she iz Injun

@Freiheit - CA that's what I'm trying to understand. Apparently she is 0.5% Indian and 99.5% white. So which is she?

I'd probably write it on men in my family being union men engaged in class struggle and they'd eat it up despite them being old Anglo American through and through

I don't remember what the question was, but it was intentionally worded to make it very difficult for real Americans to answer

@Ald they dont di "iq tests" they do "aptitude" tests where theyll ask you questions that requires logic skills.

Oh shit I had something similar @Jacob

Closest at all I could come was my dad was from New York and my mom was from Texas and how that kind of played out

Closest immigrant I have was my great grandfather

Who died of polio like 2 years after he got here

An English class of mine in hs had a project of this kind, on our great diversity and what those in our roots had to overcome to become American. This was in a mostly Asian Jewish and brown class

And I not even being fully woke at the time wrote about my ancestors having to fight the Indians and such

Cause it was like I'm white what am I supposed to say

We weren't outsiders who had to worm our way in

I belong here unlike the implication of this project

@Ald I am relocating to MN for the winter starting in Dec. (you asked about the MN chapter)

Oh nice, yeah my friend up there will likely join it sounds

betting he'll pass the interview

@ophiuchus > Closest immigrant I have was my great grandfather

based

I cringe a bit when I say I'm a child of immigrants

It's cool, we're a nation of people who are other people's kids.

huh I never thought of it that way

Family kept it all original stock Anglo until great grandma married a second generation Swede
