Originally Posted By SpokkerJones If he can't get a job in the hotels, it's probably not because he's deaf, but because he's white. Those jobs typically go to women of Latino descent. I remember reading a research paper that included a little experience where a white woman would call up a company looking to work in a factory that manufactures computer chips. When she called, she was told there are no openings. Then she got some of her graduate students with accents to call. Suddenly there were openings. For some menial jobs, they only want people who don't "look American," to use their beliefs. It's not even a secret. The electronics recruiters and even the workers know what's going on.
