City Recruits Minority Lifeguards Even if They Can’t Swim April 03, 2013 | 16 Comments In a staggering case of affirmative action gone wild, officials in a major U.S. city are actually recruiting minorities to be lifeguards at public pools even if they’re not good swimmers. It’s all in the name of diversity. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s a real-life story out of Phoenix, the capitol of Arizona and the nation’s sixth-largest city. It has more than 1.4 million residents and, among its official mottos is “value and respect” of diversity. This means “more than gender and race,” according to the city’s official website. It also encompasses “uniqueness and individuality” and embracing differences. “We put this belief into action to provide effective services to our diverse community.” Evidently officials are willing to compromise those “effective services” at 29 public swimming pools spread throughout the city. To diversify the lifeguard force, Phoenix will spend thousands of dollars to recruit minorities even if they’re not strong swimmers, according to an official quoted in a news report. Blacks, Latinos and Asians who may not necessarily qualify can still get hired, says the city official who adds that “we will work with you in your swimming abilities.” There’s a good reason the city is hiring lifeguards that can’t swim. Public pools are largely used by Latino and African-American kids, but most of the lifeguards are white and this creates a huge problem. “The kids in the pool are all either Hispanic or black or whatever, and every lifeguard is white and we don’t like that,” says a Phoenix official quoted in the story. She added that “the kids don’t relate; there’s language issues.” How did it ever come to this? Competitive swimming is a sport dominated by whites. In fact, studies have found that blacks and Hispanics have lower swimming proficiency compared to whites. In Phoenix public pool lifeguards have traditionally come from “more affluent parts of town” where schools have swim teams. That means virtually no minorities, so the city launched this special program to recruit some. Though this is a local effort in one city, it’s also part of a national trend to boost the minority workforce at whatever cost. Under President Obama we have seen a lot of this at the federal level through a variety of specially-designed government programs that give ethnic minorities special treatment at all federal agencies as well as medical and agricultural fields, among others. Earlier this year the administration made history by hiring the government’s first “Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity” to mastermind a multi-million-dollar effort that boosts the number of minorities in biomedical research and slashes discrimination in the federal grant process. The effort was initially launched last year after a government-sanctioned study uncovered a “disturbing and disheartening” lack of racial diversity in the field. Before that the administration created a new office help build a “diverse and inclusive workforce” at all federal agencies and Obama appointed a “Diversity Czar” at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help advance the goal of greater inclusion and diversity in government programs. Who could forget the race and gender employment quotas required at private financial institutions under Obama’s financial reform measure (known as the Dodd-Frank bill) to overhaul Wall Street? It’s all in the name of diversity.

If anybody was still wondering what happened to America and why it is becoming a 3rd World Country,now you know.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Just think pete there are some posters who frequent this place that think what is going on in this country is the greatest thing since sliced bread!! When things go to hell in a handbasket I hope they are the first ones to get "bitch slapped" by reality...

The arrival of the minorities is when America started going down.
Yep the arrival of English, and Spanish minorities started the trend.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
LOL Oh my God, only whites can learn how to swim in this country, even if they can't communicate well with the customer base. And we all know that communication skills have NO value in the conservative world. The difference between a weak swimmer and a strong swimmer for most young people is two to four weeks worth of swimming laps, 3 days a week for an hour or so. But it must be similiar to learning how to do brain surgery in the conservative world.

People coming here voluntarily showed some intelligence - initiative - liberation ! So far assimilation ... dnc dupes - slaves --- hasn't been working !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
They will be. Once the job is done you no longer have any use for the tools.

The would be when the white man started coming. You DO know that the white man is and always has been a minority of the world population,right? The fact that he has accomplished more that every other group combined does nothing to change this.

The author thinking that only white people can swim, the city council not realizing that minorities actually speaks something else besides Ebonics, and you for not realizing that Leftardism is responsible for all of this stupid schitt!!!
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
The job requires one to be certified as a lifeguard; and this is for insurance as well as safety reasons. This is just a typical hate and bait thread.
That is not possible. The white man built a super power. The decline started when Kennedy got his bill through to start recruiting from the third world.
This is just a typical hate and bait thread. Mike common sense isn't hate. Mike you hate good. That makes you EVIL!
So do you think making fun of stupid people is "hating"??
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Anything and everything the monkey fucker disagrees with is hate or bait. They boy isn't right.
I've worked as a lifeguard for the City of Eugene. I had to be certified. If someone is injured or dies and the lifeguard attending them is not certified, the city gets sued for lots of money. It's just called common sense and logical deduction.
The white men at the time were fifthy and disease ridden. Too bad the natives had little immunity.

Good point, we brought over far more diseases from the 'Old World' than were given to us in the new world. Not to mention that many of the cultures here had attributes and aspacts of them we would of been better off to assimulate into our culture to ammilerate and change some of the worse atributes and aspects of European culture.
