FIRM GETS DINGED BY FEDS FOR DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WHITES IN FAVOR OF HISPANICS (ARE YOU LISTENING COSTA MESA?)
As most readers probably know by now, the Costa Mesa City Council gives some of our tax money to charities in the city that do not look like the city.
In fact, some charities in Costa Mesa serve Hispanics almost exclusively, yet Hispanics only account for about 30-35% of the people living in Costa Mesa.We don't think this is right. These charities are using tax money from citizens of all races and ethnicities, so why aren't people of all races and ethnicities benefiting from their taxes?
As we've previously reported, one charity in Costa Mesa even told a white girl that she was the wrong color and refused to let her use their services. The feds pounced on that charity and forced them to stop discriminating.
In addition, the charities don't ask if the clients are legally in the country or not, so there is probably a percentage of the clients who are illegal aliens.
Discriminating in favor of one group hurts other groups.
To root out clever discrimination and to cut through various excuses for not serving all people equally, the feds demand that these charities receiving your tax money supply demographic statistics. And, the statistics from some of these charities in Costa Mesa should raise some red flags for the City Council as they do with us.
Before it gives away our money to the charities, the City Council gets recommendations on how much to give to each charity from the 3R Committee. This is supposed to give citizen oversight on how the money is used.
In fact, however, more than a few members of the 3R Committee have direct or indirect charity ties, or are friends with various charity bosses or are involved in liberal politics and liberal political groups and causes including several members who actively and publicly tried to defeat Mayor Mansoor and Councilmember Leece in the last election.
In other words, instead of providing oversight to make sure our money is used wisely and in the best ways possible, the mostly liberal 3R Committee mainly just rubber stamps some requests.
In the past when a few members of the 3R Committee asked the charities hard questions, the charities complained to their friends on the City Council and the hard questions were stopped.
Now, it's all love and kisses.
As far as we can tell, there is no one who is really looking out for your interests or whether or not your money is being spent in the best ways to help improve Costa Mesa. In fact, we think that some of your money is going in directions that are helping keep Costa Mesa an illegal alien sanctuary.
At any rate, here's part of a newspaper article from Arizona about a prison firm that was discriminating in favor of Hispanics and against whites and got caught.

Prison firm pays settlement for pro-Hispanic hiring bias
East Valley Tribune
A company running a state prison in Florence agreed Thursday to pay $438,626 to end a discrimination case that started two years ago when federal investigators found Hispanics were routinely hired over job candidates from other ethnic groups.
(snip)
The rejected candidates include 11 Asians, 66 blacks, 17 American Indians, and 370 whites. All of them were deemed qualified job applicants but were not hired, said William Smitherman, a spokesman for the Pacific Division of the Labor Department’s Federal Contract Compliance Program.
The Florence Correctional Center, which has 277 employees and houses 1,824 medium-security prisoners, also must undergo a future audit by federal investigators to determine if it has met the federal hiring standards.
If the prison has not changed its hiring practices by then, the company could face stiff penalties including fines or termination of its government contracts.
(snip)
An audit by federal investigators in March 2005 ignited the case after investigators found a high rate of non-Hispanics had been passed over for jobs as prison guards.
(snip)
Many times, federal race discrimination cases are aimed at employers who overlook minority candidates. This one was unusual because a majority of those who faced discrimination were white.
