Affirmative action? I thought there was no more affirmative action. Didnt the Supreme Court strike it down? I disagree with immigrants not wanting to work. I live in a part of the USA that has lots of Asians, Mexicans and Indians and from what I can see, they work pretty darn hard. When I need my lawn taken care of or repairs on my house, who does it. Hardworking Mexicans and they work very hard and the money I pay them is nothing compared to how hard they have worked. As far as going to war, when it is a volunteer Army you always get more minorities as they are trying to better themselves in their new country and put themselves through school and they pay dearly for it by dying or being maimed. I am glad this is a melting pot. I grew up in NYC and loved the diversity. Yet I have a friend who grew up in Missouri and she never met an Hispanic or African-American till she moved to CA. Now that is sad.

Maybe it's to embrace diversity in the workplace.
Kwanzaa, Hanukah, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Leif Ericksen Day, Lent? I'd take all 40 days of Lent with celebratory incentive pay.
