I was a recent graduate and thought the same things about companies interviewing for jobs. I had to be extremely proactive though, taking on 15 interviews in two months, eventually talking directly to a manager instead of the uber-extroverts corporations use in HR for first-round interviews.
Now that I'm working in the real world though, I see a lot of merit to corporations looking past skills and experience. For example, I doubt anyone wants a boss as mean or vitriolic as Barbara.

For all of you who think this country is the greatest and everyone else is below us... you are blind, uneducated and ditached from reality. As far as Barbara's credibility, well she knows her stuff and speaks the truth so maybe you need to do your research. As far as talking trash about people who cannot write or speak proper english, get a F**king life, English doesnt rule the world and I think he got his point accross.

How can you say Barbarah Erenriech is raceist? She is the opposite of raceist. She was positively mentioned in Dr, Cornell West's book
"Democracy Matters"...no I strongly disagree with that acusation.

This woman has no credibility. She's an avowed markist/socialist, an absolute racist and also a liar. I encourage everyone to look in to her background before taking anything she says seriously.

I can think of at least 2 or 3 more reasons why east might be writing. It is too bad that east wasn't very politcal in his/her approach and also isn't very articulate with the language. You brought up an interesting point though "Americans speak English" therefore this message was ment to piss them off. I disagree. EVERY one speaks English therefore there was no real target audience. "Yanks" getting offended might have been an unfortunate side effect. But this is tangential to my original point.

"East" obviously has strong feelings.
He/she is writing them to anger the "yanks" aka Americans, thus, triggering an argument.
Americans speak English.
If "East" cannot articulate his feelings to the English speaking Yanks, why start the argument at all?

What's all this about strong feelings and arguments? And who started an argument with the word "Yank" certainly not this cowboy. ;)

A wise person does not an argument start with a "Yank" if he cannot accurately express his (obviously) strong feelings.

English is probably East's fifth language. How many does the average Yank speak? |
