Re: Distinction between foreign and american-born minorities

Excellent point. I've seen that happening all the time. In
fact, I'm a foregin-born hispanic (in ethnicity terms
according to Federal guidelines) engineering professor in a
major midwestern university. I was one among 100 applicants
for the job I eventually got, but at the time of the interview
I made clear to all that I new the rules and that my
interpretation of the law was that I was kind of third
priority. Didn't want any preferential treatment.
However, the university was later pretty quick in "counting me
in" as a minority hire.
Overall, I'm having a great career and I don't feel exploited.
however, I agree with you for the most part.
