Asset Management magazine has more details. Including the fact that a smartphone video of the performance went viral. That was likely the cause of the firing. You can be as racist as you like, as long as you keep it on the “down-low”.
The price of racism is much higher than that. If you look at the population pyramids, all the labor after 2035 will come from Africa. ALL the labor. There has been no excess labor in the “developed” countries for two generations. All growth, where there has been growth, is imported labor. That labor has come from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Latin America. When immigrants were not imported, the labor was exported to China and India. China has already gone from a net importer of work to an exporter of work. Like Japan though China does not have a lot of immigration. India still has excess labor and can easily export it through immigration and through the importing of work. However, a look at the population Pyramid for India reveals that there will be some 26 to 50 million new laborers in India over the next 10 years, but after that, by 2035 there will be labor shortages in India. As India is the last Asian pool of workers, this leaves only Africa after 2035. The population pyramids of Sub-Saharan Africa indicate that it will be THE world’s labor pool after 2035. Racism, prejudice against dark skin will be very expensive.
I feel for him though because the odds are he did say something about the nut allergy. Odds are his son did get very sick. Odds are the person behind the counter made an innocent mistake. Which is why his outburst is so wrong.
My family history with nut allergies two of my nephews have allergies. My sister learned long ago not to get angry at people over it. That is a big mistake. It is wrong. It is also scary as hell.
All growth, where there has been growth, is imported labor.
All growth in labor, I’ll believe.
The US has had fairly-steadily growing manufacturing output for decades, even while manufacturing employment (labor) declined. The major cause of the increasing output was automation.
