I have a recently unemployed (homeless) friend who walks the streets everyday looking for work in every business he comes by. I was asked to apply for him at sears.com.

WOW! I knew sears was funky, but on the front page you have to choose English or Spanish to apply or search for jobs. Then when it asks what your race or nationality is, each and every choice says (not Latino or Hispanic)... beside each one except for Hispanic? What's that about? I mean really! If I am black (which is my friends hue) I have to acknowledge I am not Hispanic or Latino? Odd, very odd. I couldn't find a box to check stating I was black of Hispanic decent other than "mixed race" at the bottom, and again, what the heck does that have to do with anything? Man, this has gotten out of control.

Then when they ask how you heard about said position, they have la raza listed as a choice. I almost went back and changed him to mixed race and checked the la raza box so he would get the job!

Ive boycotted sears for several personal and professional reasons, but now?

I was wondering if I should go back to the site and apply myself (I would have to mis-spell my German name), check Hispanic and learned through la raza and see which one of us gets an interview?
