• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.
  • Hi all. We had a couple of reports of people's signatures getting edited etc. in a bad way. You can rest assured this wasn't done by staff and nobody has compromised any of our databases.

How job applications ask for your race. If race isn't an issue then why the **** is it on the goddamn application?

I think they ask you for your race to make sure that you are that kind of ethnic color.

It sometimes is. Restaurant managers or whoever's in charge of hiring may use race as a criterion for or against hiring an applicant.

I know, it sucks. But that's how it goes... :/

There's some kind of regulation, I think it's called affirmative action, that requires diversity in the workplace (which I think is still racism).

All the little games you have to play (supposedly) to get a job annoy me: Oh, you need to have a cover letter. Oh, you can't just wear nice clothes it has to be a suit. Oh, you have to cut your hair off. Oh you need to send a thank you letter. Oh, you need to ask a lot of questions. Oh, your resume can't be more then a page long. Oh, make sure you call after you send a resume in.

Everyone's giving you advice to that seems counter-intuitive or conflicts each other.

Yea I find it very racist too. I live in the suburbs of West Chicago so all the minorities come over here to get a job. Knowing the state of Illinois they get hired with no job experience what so ever, hell lots of them are criminals from the hood as well. I once went to a hiring event at McDonalds and there were gang bangers everywhere. They were wearing the colors they represent. I was like **** this I don't wanna get shot. But ya, I'm not racist but in Chicago/Chicago suburbs area it's really hard for a while person to get a job. Lots of places have 60% African American, 30% Hispanic, and 10% other races. That's just how corrupt the state of Illinois is.

Games with no checkpoints or poorly placed checkpoints are annoying. During the summer, I played Dead Space 2 and had to deal with Hard Core difficulty. The next game Aliens Vs. Predator, also had a difficulty with no checkpoints, although that one was more forgiving (you can save at the end of levels). Actually, Left 4 Dead is pretty similar to AVP's nightmare difficulty, although you can't save at the end of a level.

Yeah, that's what I hate- it should be based off ability and nothing else. Although I can't say its happened, I'd hate to think I missed out on a job because someone else less qualified happened to be of a different race.

That's Northern Illinois for ya. It's a hardcore liberal state. I hate to say it too, but it's the truth. It pisses me off to no end that I got job experience from my other job in Missouri and I come down here, apply for a job and some African American get's hired. It's really frustrating. I'm about to start saving all my applications. Apply online saying I'm Caucasian save it and then a couple months later fill the same application out claiming I'm African American. Do that for most places and I'll for sure get a call eventually. I'll show up for the interview get turned down for lying, go home call a lawyer, and sue the mother ****er for race discrimination. I'll have all the proof on file.
