bias and prejudice vent

note to the well-known movie theater company that didn't hire my son because he had a Judeo-Christian tattoo on his forearm:

you met my son the other day for an interview for a minimum wage position at your movie theater where he would be running the projectors and didn't hire him because he loves Jesus and isn't afraid to *advertise* that fact on his forearm.

i guess it was good he was wearing long pants at the time of his interview or you would have seen his bold display of love and devotion to the Blessed Mother. but why tell you that? you already told him he didn't have a job with you because he had a tattoo showing on his forearm.

i am wondering: when he is up in the projection booth, do you think instead of showing the films for your company he would take digital photographs of his arm and display them on the screen as a bit of advertising for God?

in reality, bro, think anyone would even know he was up in the booth?

and it is wintertime, after all, and while i would venture a guess that he would wear long sleeves, i am thinking you assumed he would be the type to wear his wife beater undershirt and *colors* from the gang you assume he belongs to.

he does belong to a gang. they're called Christians. oh, he has a leader he submits to, alright. His name is Jesus.

forget the fact that he managed a movie theater and worked at the hospital full-time while doing so. please -- don't even call his references to find out what kind of a person he truly is.

oh, did you notice he is a full-time college student at the university nearby - one he had to leave two years ago because of his brush with cancer that could have left him for dead if we waited even another month to have that suspicious spot removed? did you know that his tattoo of Jesus on his forearm was a testimony to his life being given back to him?

did you ask?

nah. why would you?

you didn't do my son any favors by telling him outright he wasn't being hired because of his tattoo; in fact, you really did yourselves a disservice in doing so. not only are you missing out on one of the best workers you would have had for your establishment, you won't be soon to forget who he is after i pen a nice letter to the president of the corporation who runs your theater.

hell hath no fury like a mama scorned. your bias and prejudice are going to cost you in the end.
