i couldn't believe my eyes after seeing this "report."
go to cnn.com and watch the video titled, "Assault on the middle class."
according to this video...
"foreign workers" = suspicious-looking middle eastern men in their 20s and 30s.
"foreign workers" = middle eastern women.
"foreign workers" = nerdy-looking asian men.
and together, these "foreign workers" are taking away jobs from...yup. you guessed it:
"american workers" = clean-cut, white males in their 20s and 30s.
unbelievable...
i watched the report because i'm a middle-class citizen. and i was fully expecting to see something along the line of how bushco and the repugs are screwing me and my family in favor of their CEO buddies. but then, as i watched the video, i was floored to see how some of my previous and current colleagues' race and ethnicity as well as my own were being so easily labeled away as "foreign" workers.
i'm a proud american. my non-white friends and colleagues from the past and present are americans or legal residents. but this isn't about me or my friends. this is about the media and its decaying values.
for someone in not-so-metro america, especially those growing up in the heartlands, this video definitely sets the stereotype.
congratulations, cnn. you've managed to top fox!
