Pitting Blacks Against Latinos
- Share via
You raised serious questions regarding the issue of discrimination against Latinos in public employment.
A cursory review of most employment statistics in local governments and particularly Los Angeles County government, will reveal many discriminatory practices against the Latino community.
However, it is totally wrong to attempt to take away hard-earned jobs from the black community, which has its own share of burdens and troubles and which should not become the victim of more injustice during the quest by the Latino community to achieve fundamental fairness in public employment.
