Oops!! TARGET: MEMO ON HISPANICS Titled, “Organization Effectiveness, Employee and Labor Relations Multi-Cultural Tips,” the document–according to the complaint–states the following on Hispanic employees: a. Food: not everyone eats tacos and burritos; b. Music: not everyone dances to salsa; c. Dress: not everyone wears a sombrero; d. Mexicans (lower education level, some may be undocumented); e. Cubans (Political refugees, legal status, higher education level); and f. They may say ‘OK, OK’ and pretend to understand, when they do not, just to save face. Robert Gonzales, Bulmaro Fabian and Pedro Garcia-Ayala have issued a complaint that nearly all the management positions were held by Caucasians who regularly targeted Hispanics and used racially charged language when addressing Hispanic employees. In the lawsuit, the three plaintiffs charge the managers with saying things like, “Only a ‘wetback’ can work this hard,” “You got to be Mexican to work like this,” and “What the hell, I’m already sweating like a Mexican"
