This just goes to prove that the white man is viewed as the superior race...even amongst the other races. lol

Odd considering when I hear "Asian" the first thing this honky thinks of is "Engineer" or "Accountant" along with "Doctor" though it seems the doctor title is going to the Indians now.

I wonder if they hire black people for security?

They then get disadvantaged small business status and priority for government business.

I know disadvantaged status exists for minority and woman owned businesses. What I am not sure of is fraudulently putting a woman or minority as the face of the company to qualify for that status. In order to be certified as minority or woman owned at least 51% of a company must be owned by a woman or minority and the management and daily operations must be controlled by them. They are certified by the government so it probably isn't too difficult to fool them but that is where speculation enters in to it.

Are you claiming conspiracy?

Nope, just rumor. Even if I had evidence to back it up it would still be fraud on the part of the businesses and incompetency on the part of the government, not conspiracy.

Well...its not a rumor. I know a few small business owners who have their wife listed as head honcho for the lulz value.

Typically a white small business owner in putting their wife on all the paperwork

The awesome part is that with the big push for some gov agencies to reduce headcounts, it makes even harder for to investigate as more folks are stuck under heaps of paperwork.
