So, does this mean all the unqualified white males in Arizona are now out of work?
Huzzah, indeed.

What it means is that preferential treatment based on race and gender -- sometimes called racism or sexism by liberals, depending upon who it hurts -- is now against state law.
It's merely a baby step in the right direction.

1960, working on 1950? :unsure:
However, the feds will smack this down like an insolent [pick your least favorite race] child.
This merely shows that 60% of the voters in Arizona don't know what the law truly does. Read my second to last post in this thread for details.
*EDIT* Or do, just don't like minorities in jobs (including good ones) proportionate to their percentage of state population. (yeah, that's all it does-assumes that all people should be represented equally in the job market).
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
I won't even dignify that with a response. Anyone with half a brain cell can see why.
Later Sweetheart.

I'll ask again...does this mean that all the unqualified white males will lose their jobs?

I assume, then, that you favor reparations for American slavery.
The correlation to the situation in AZ is no less tenuous than your assertion that "unqualified white males" should give up their jobs.
In any case, Arizona is inhabited by Arizonans, and it is Arizonans who should determine how their state is run.
If Hispanics find it inhospitable, they will depart, leaving the state poorer for their lack, and bringing ridicule to it's residents.
What's it to you?

And who would be "unqualified", white, and male hired by Affirmative Action program? Wait they don't have that job because some other "unqualified" [insert minority] got it. Is that what you were saying?
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
J2, I know you favor assumptions over facts, so carry on.
sandman...gee, who could I use to exemplify the "unqualified white male" stereotype...um, GW Bush?

So, Hispanics (Latinos) aren't Arizonans because they lack majority in the state? :O
Would you be so quick/understanding if a majority deemed you and your family unwelcome in your state?
I'll give you credit for seeing the message being aimed at illegal AND legal Latinos in Arizona.
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
It's only "reverse" discrimination that upsets the right, regular ole discrimination is A-OK in their book.
It's only a matter of time before Arizona runs out of water, so the problem will solve itself anyway.
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
Well, when all of the (unwelcome) Latinos do a mass exodus out of Az, they will have a majority in the neighboring state. Hopefully, they will vote (and I am certain they will remember the hospitality they received) to not supply them water. :01:
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
Arizona's water woes will/can not be voted away.
Much like Las Vegas, Arizonans cleverly decided to build major metropolitan areas where there is no fucking water and are completely dependent on the largess of other states to provide for them.
This will come to an end as the multi-year drought in the West cuts waterflow to the bone.
Presumably, the withering golf greens and ban on washing your Buicks will be explained as the result of some form of discrimination and it's all Obama's fault.
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
Dudes! A river runs right through Eagar called the Little Colorado River. I drink water from that river, not from anywhere else. It comes from snowmelt and monsoon rains in the White Mountains of Arizona. No one can shut off our water supply.

But back to the point of this discussion, treating all people fairly is somehow evil to liberals.
Liberals are truly the most racist people of them all.
All they think about is race, race, race.
They want employment to be based on the color of a person's skin.
And if anyone doesn't go along with their thinking, then they're evil.

Dumbass Arizonans, eh?
Why aren't they entitled to your water, if you are entitled to dictate their immigration policy?
On the other note, what does one do about unqualified blacks or Hispanics?
And honestly, unless I am legally bound to demonstrate proficiency in ebonics or Spanish, how am I to determine the qualifications of a black or Hispanic applicant who cannot speak english?
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
If people could honestly self-regulate, there wouldn't have EVER been a need for the civil rights movements. You guys somehow think racism/discrimination in the workplace is NOW obsolete? :O

And you still think Affirmative Action will eliminate it.
Fat Fucking Chance.
Re: Proposition 107-- Ending Reverse Discrimination (Affirmative Action)
Obviously, you'd like to pretend it's not a problem. It is ONLY if we are trying to have a fair society.
Again, you do not understand the legal concept of AA. Take a class from an actual active lawyer/professor and you might see it differently. Glen Beck is a radio host who panders to people who don't get it, don't want to, or feel violated by the "system".
I can only imagine how much you guys would cry if you actually had to be a minority...

You are down there and you will stay down there except for short periods, when they want your vote. It is the same with all the working class of this world. I think we should dig out our muskets as someone in here 'suggested' as one solution. When the outlook was bleak, to their way of thinking. I'll get my knitting out to count the heads.:whistling
