Imagine how that judge feels now, with this guy famous across the globe, for taking him up on the suggestion!
Many prestigious people have the same idea about "people that they consider lower-than-themselves" - may be blacks, natives, Wal-Marters, or hillbillies. This is only powerful against employees, not those in power. Odd, isn't it - that a banker, CEO, or monopoly managers can discriminate freely against women or poor whites/browns as they use statistics to hide their personal prejudices. Any women work for the Railroads? (Answer: no, the men - both high and low, agreed not to give them a chance)
I agree with your comments except that I used to be a railroader (freight as well as passenger) and other traditionally male jobs (steel mill, oil refinery). We got these jobs because we fought for them!
I generally ignore HiloHaole's remarks as they tend to promote racism. (Locals don't like Blacks - what an ignorant thing to say).
