Angry Fuzzies

Long time ago I was watching a show that every time the heroine saw something good or that made her feel nice, she'd say "Warm fuzzies!"  Well, once again, my mind drifts to the white nationalists at That Place I Won't Mention that I talked about in my first post. 

BTW, I need to mention that I have an eidetic memory.  Its not photographic or anything like that but it is very good.  I can remember conversations and sights years later as if they just happened.  This means that when something really pisses me off or makes me mad, it can keep coming back months and years later, like an LSD trip!

So here I sit, my mind replaying all the unfairness and racist attitudes at that last workplace.  Making a long story short for those new to my story, four temp-to-hires in a union shop that I won't mention, no Latinos working in the area.  Six months later at the end of "probation", the three whites are hired and I am gotten rid of.  Because certain white nationalists there didn't want another "mexican" around.

And one part that really cheeses me off is that I was let go in early December right before the Christmas break.  So I had no money for presents or food or pretty much anything else.  This really sets off my 'French Revolution' attitude because while I was eating top ramen, that manager who didn't want a mexican around and the white nationalists there who encouraged them were living it up in jobs paying $30/hr, union employees who are impervious to any sort of censure, in their SUVs and lily white world, eating fine food and big houses while I am cold and starving. 

Okay, I know, I'm being over dramatic and I need to get over it.  Its not the first time I've been discriminated against for being Latino.  Of course, in those days when I was young, we were just "Mexicans", there was no term "Latino" or even "Hispanic."  The majority white area I grew up in just knew all brown people as "Mexicans." 

And again I don't name the company that shelters white nationalists who discriminate and want to keep things white and bright as possible, although I probably should.  You'd all recognize it.  Its a union shop, health care company, and I'm sure just saying that, those in the industry know who it is.  What can I say, they preach that they are all multicultural nowadays and kumbahyah, but not long ago, like Walmart, this company had a very bad reputation for whites only.  

Oh the company does hire Latinos, to wash toilets and work in the kitchens, but anything else?  Well, bad apple 20+ year union veterans wont stand for that and the management is spineless to stand up to them.
