Does this include white trash as well ? :rollside:
No
Well stated above!!!
I would say yes. Unfortunate in thees days, but I see a good old boy mentality there, and I think it's due to it's primarily white, elderly population.
Here are: the demographics:
Races in Lake Havasu City:
White Non-Hispanic (89.5%)
Hispanic (7.9%)
Other race (2.5%)
Two or more races (1.5%)
American Indian (1.3%)
But isn't it the same at alot of resorts, go snowsking at places like Vail or Aspen and it is mostly white people.

I would not notice anything like that, all I see are my friends, race NEVER!!!! enters the picture with me.....nor does it concern me one bit.
it's WHO YOU ARE!!!! that counts.

fuggin Krackers! :boxed:
Can't say that I have ever encountered any negativity there as far as discrimination. Thus far it has been a fairly friendly place to me. This coming from a Mexican. I think it's all in how you present yourself to people that gets you labeled. Whenever I go into a business or what have you, I try to greet people with a pleasant hello. I usually get a friendly reply and it's obvious that whatever potential for disliking me because I'm Mexican is deminished. Just my experience an .02
I have NEVER been treated different nor has the wife.
Now lets SAY,
You are looking for a job, Does this change anything......
We only discriminate against guys with flat top haircuts.. :p

Advice.......on the LHC resume
Tone it down for LHC, keep it short and simple, don't rely on the fax or mail, Havasu is small.....go in person to present the resume... esp if it's your lovely wife doing the presenting.

I rarely see any black folks, very rarely see any Middle Eastern people and Asians. Hispanics seem pretty rare as well.

I'm not sure I am followong your question here. Would you expect for a NON WHITE person to be discriminated upon???
I think if you have all your teeth some peoples might get a little jealous. but for the most part it's cool. :)

you are talking about prodominetly white sporting events.
like; boating, skiing, snowboarding, dirt biking
i wouldnt say that havasu is discriminating, its just a thing that more whites do.
thats just my .02

Karl,
for as educated as the wife is, she cant even get an interview.
She has done everything in person and dressed in, L.A. Beverly Hills, Centurty City Business attire, or what ever you call it...
And I know it has not been said yet, No we don't need money, The wife is BORED
. This coming from a Mexican. I think it's all in how you present yourself to people that gets you labeled.
I'd agree with this 100%....
You walk in the same place the next day wearing a white wife beater ribbed tank, shorts that look like half-pants and a safety chain on your wallet your experience would be different I'm sure. Certain mannerisms and your outward appearance people will pre-judge you........whether you're white, black, mexican, oriental or whatever.........its human nature to make assumption by what you've seen on TV.
I've not really run accross the issue when in Havi by locals...but I've overheard remarks by boaters at the Sandbar.
I bought my home in Havasu 12 yrs ago. Had a neighbor say to me then "Don't tell the orientals are gonna take over Havasu next."
We only discriminate against guys with flat top haircuts.. :p
Or mullets :crossx:
From what I've noticed it's "Who you know" in Havasu rather than "What you know" to get a preferred job. It's the same thing in all resort communities.
Kilr,
I have not meet you nor the wife, but I can tell you she looks like nothing but trouble.
Tell her to tone down the big city sophisticated look and put on her ugly face. :)
I mean if she walked into my office and my wife was anywhere around, I KNOW I would be in trouble. :jawdrop:
Yep, she is trouble, the good kind of trouble, but trouble nonetheless. :D
I'd hire her.
Well for what it's worth, my brother in law,
Mexican, now works for Lake Havasu PD.
He ain't taking out the trash either. Well, I guess he kinda picks up trash. ;)
I've never had any problems there. :rollside:

Well there's her problem! She is way over dressed. Just give her $5 bucks and have her buy an outfit at WALMART! If she can wait til Wednesday, I think the new fashions will arrive and she'll be the talk of the town! It doesn't help either that she goes cruisin on up in a fully loaded deisel truck either! Maybe consider a run down ford escort, something that doesn't say " Hey, I have a DCB! Do I really want to work for/with you?". GOOD LUCK!

tone it down........low key on the resume...don't want them to think you cost too much right off the bat. maybe "Education history provided upon request"
Dress............is clean and casual, it's not the HIGH profile biz sector here..
womens Skirt/suit is about the max to deck out :cool: I know is hard for Yvonne not to look like a $M but "go casual" :)
Did I miss something? You living out there full time now?
What about your job? Sorry if I missed something, just curious.

sure looks like it from some of his posts lately doesn't it?? :idea:
I can't comment on that, but I did see him a few weeks ago and he is still working in LA
Havasu definitely discriminates...against boats without mufflers :yuk:

ROTFLMAO!!!
She is even having trouble getting hired at the hospital?

YES, cant even get an interview......
and they have 4 openings in her classification and have had them for almost 12 months now....

That does not appear to be right at all. Maybe they think her salary demands would be too much? But that's a lame-ass reason as well. Just spit-balling here. Also, what about the Surgery Center? She may want to try there if she hasn't already.

Ride your bike right up to the admins office..point the gun at him..she'll be hired in about 4 seconds and you'll get three squares a day
I think boatcop's wife is in the med field. Maybe she has some contacts?

get me the adds, I will see if I can get a Hook UP through all the women I know in Addmin Dept. A good portion of the Addmin Dept is in my car club. :)
Do you think that maybe having an L.A. area home address on the resume may have an adverse effect on being considered for a position? Is the general consensus internally within the job force there to hire "locals" over "out of towners" ? instead of racial profiling, they may in fact feel that they cannot afford her. Just my .02

Considering her AZ DL and her 86406 zip, I dont think that is the likey cause....
and nowhere does it state what she was making prior
I have a friend that relocated to Buckeye and experienced outright discrimation concerning his beautiful Hispanic wife. Couldn't get into the hospital fields at all, finally got a job in a bank and the locals would stand in line for the "white" teller rather than allow her to serve them......They moved back to Newbury Park after 3 months.........He couldn't believe it..........MP
