A new report paints a disturbing picture of native-born African-Americans systematically passed over for manual labor jobs in favor of Hispanic immigrants, legal and illegal. Following are a few egregious cases from the prosecution files of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):
A staffing company at a Memphis, Tenn., warehouse favored Hispanic workers over African-Americans. Job seekers lined up outside the warehouse each day, but managers would select Hispanics over blacks, even when black workers were experienced and farther ahead in line. Managers would announce in English there were no more positions. After African-Americans left, Hispanic workers got to work.
