Yeah, I read that article when it first came out as well.
I moved here from oregon too! hahaha
But, I know what to expect. I wouldn't (personally) want to work with a bunch of locals... Not my cup of tea... I'd rather just stay home and do side jobs...
Think about it... If she thought she had it bad in the interview process just think how bad she would have it if she actually got the job!
I'm not saying it's right... It's a Hawaii attitude that should be fixed. Tho, how do you go about fixing it? Fire everyone and rehire?
Tho, this happens on the mainland from time to time as well. It happens and most people don't even think they have done anything wrong. A lot of people are unaware when the are discriminating by ones color. It's like the cops pulling over all the red cars because red draws attention and appears to look faster then the white cars.
It's also a known fact that officials in a basket ball or football game will usually call plays in favor of what color that team is wearing.
I was kind of wondering when someone would post this topic... All I can say is welcome to Hawaii... Bring lots of $$ so you don't need a job!
