And you know this as a general rule about the Korean population throughout the country how? Or, like most such outrageous statements that people post, are you just expressing your own opinion and prejudices. You can believe what you want. Its a free country. But if you are going to present it as fact, back it up with some sort of proof.
It's not a general rule regarding the Koreans. It is only based on what I have seen. I work in a heavily populated are of Brooklyn with numerous Korean owned grocers, fruit stands, and convenience stores. I have noticed over the years that whenever non Koreans are working there, they tend to be Mexicans, rather than Whites, Blacks, other Asians or Puerto Ricans. In fact, a neighbor of mine who is Korean stated that she would prefer to hire Mexicans even over other Koreans. It has nothing to do with any personal bias I may or may not have

I see a difference between being silent, in agreement and silent because whatever you say is going to be distorted for any reason.
Often being silent is better than 'speaking'. How do you think I 'created' this reputation of being an ass? By being silent and polite?

Well, err, no. But, like you, I sometimes think that the voice of reason needs to be heard. Attitude is one thing, prejudice and bigotry is a very different situation.
And by 'this discussion' I was referring to the thread in its entirety, not your contributions....

The previous poster just mention 'illegal immigrants' because the lawsuit was tarted by Hispanic folks. Citizen or legal immigrants does not matter they are 'Hispanic' so automatically 'illegals to be deported'...

Well...the source of the "bad publicity" is Aljazeera...not quite the bastion of unbiased reporting.
Have you ever noticed that B&H closes down for Jewish holidays? You think there might be connection with Al-Jazera aspect?

After 24 pages why is this thread still going, and most of all why is it still in the main photography forum?

Because the original article concerns the biggest retailer in the world.
That folks went into prejudice both racial and religious is beside the point.
If anything I would like the op to recreate the post after having the first one deleted by the admin.
I sometime do that, ask the admin to delete my own threads because folks go way too far.

Other news sources have reported B&H employs so-called undocumented workers -- open-borders speak for illegal aliens.

Do as you please. The cat is out of the bag.
With all due respect, surely you meant to describe B&H as the biggest photography retailer in the world.
I've visited B&H's store in NYC. It claims the status as the world's largest camera store. Very impressive, and a highlight of my only visit to the Big Apple.

No, just the US.
HK has a entire block dedicated to digital imagery. Different stores, granted but knowing how large retailers like B&H and Adorama work*, this is the same thing.

* Retailers rent space to manufacturers even other re-seller (importers to be more precise). The reason is simple: Economics. By going this way they avoid huge investments that lose value when the technology moves on. This existed before but was amplifies by advent of personal computers.
