so i have a real (and long overdue) entry in the works, but for now i thought i’d share a little something i found while applying for a job with the san bernardino county district attorney’s office. there’s a page where, for statistical purposes, they ask applicants to indicate their ethnicity and these are two of the options:
White (not of Hispanic origin): All persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, or the Indian Subcontinent.
Asian or Pacific Islanders: All persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indiana [sic] subcontinent, or the Paccific [sic] Islands. This area includes, for example, China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.
SO, according to the san bernardino county human resources department, i’m white and dave letterman is asian. interesting. sometimes the inland empire doesn’t do itself any favors. and yes, i’m still going to apply for the job. by the by, the gnarls barkley and angels & airwaves albums are currently rocking my socks off. you should all acquire them…somehow.
