Race Relations

If discrimination and racism still reign when it comes to hiring in certain industries in New York City, the supposedly symbol of America’s melting pot where different races and ethnicities “rub shoulders” on an hourly basis, then is there real hope that one day inclusiveness and equality will be a way of life in this country?

New York, New York, let’s spread the news…. But, what news? That as recently as yesterday, there was a public and blatant example, in perhaps the most racially and ethnically diverse city in the country, that shows racism stills runs rampant.

Currently, it is estimated that more than twelve million illegal/undocumented immigrants from Mexico live in the United States. At the same time, the 2010 Census confirmed that Hispanic Americans are the largest and fastest growing minority population in the United States, not including the twelve million undocumented Mexican immigrants.
