in Hiring Paradox on Elliott Back's Blog
You could argue it, yes...but you can argue ANYTHING, sonny-boy...could you prevail in a legal argument? NOT A CHANCE. The problem here is that YOU volunteered the information. The law, at least as I understand it, prohibits the HIRING party from MAKING INQUIRIES about your race and ethnicity. The fact that you offered the information up unsolicited leaves the ball in your court...there is no way you could prove those factors were used to deny you a position. And, of course, in a Real-Life hiring situation your inclusion of the statement would probably weigh against you, since it would be indicative of poor judgement - but that's a completely legitimate reason to not hire someone. I would think someone dealing with this programming stuff would have a better grip on issues involving logic, but then what does an old Parody Writer know...

in Britney dear, learn your scansion on Elliott Back's Blog
Elliot Back, I am curious as to how my parody title ended up under the heading of the following item during a 'Google' search. I'm not upset in any way, just curious, particularly since I didn't post that parody piece until 09/16/2005 and your remark was posted on 09/09/2005. It looks like you are setting up some type of word parameters and then a search of some sort is done based on that. However, I do not know much about that area, so I am just guessing. Here is the exact "Google" item I am referencing:
