    Bass Pro sued for racial discrimination in hiring!

    Bass Pro sued for racial discrimination in hiring!
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | Posted: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 12:39 pm

    HOUSTON, Texas - The federal government has sued national outdoor retail chain Bass Pro Outdoor World alleging racial discrimination in its hiring practices dating back to 2005.

    The Equal Opportunity Commission, a federal agency charged with enforcing anti-discrimination laws in employment, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Houston on Wednesday.

    The lawsuit alleges that qualified African-Americans and Hispanics were routinely denied positions at Bass Pro stores and managers of stores in Houston, Louisiana and other locations made derogatory racial comments acknowledging the practice.

    The commission also alleges that Bass Pro destroyed documents related to applications and internal discrimination complaints and retaliated against those who spoke up.

    A spokesman for Springfield, Mo.-based Bass Pro Shops said the company had not yet reviewed the lawsuit.

    I think that Five Guys Burgers is guilty of discrimination. I have walked into them in at least 4 states and left because they seem to exclusively hire Hispanics, no Blacks, no Whites and no Asians. Also Foodland in Phoenix and I could go on an on.
    I agree, it sounds like conservatives may own Bass Pro Shops Or they didn't give enough to the Demoncrats.

    But if I were to walk into a grocery store and see nothing but hispanics working that would be ok, since there probably wasn't any qualified black or white Americans interested in doing that work.
