“It’s not like I’m against the culture in some way but I guess that, I guess they call it the Protestant work ethic, to be frank about it,” he told Civil Beat. “I work 60 hours a week and I can’t find anybody that will keep up with me.”
Legal onlookers say employment law prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age and other protected classes. But they noted where you’re from isn’t on the list.

State Legislature to immediately start working on bill to prevent discriminating against hiring lazy people who believe "everyday is Aloha Friday."  ::)

Some employers prefer to hire military veterans and give them priority.  That includes businesses like the US Postal Service.

Some give priority to applicants who speak Japanese or can lift and carry 50+ lb loads.  Others give priority to those with spotless driving records.

It's all a form of discrimination -- but it's LEGAL.  Only illegal forms are prohibited.

You might not like or agree with the policies used in hiring, but there's not much you can do about it. 

Hooters got sued for only hiring female waitresses and lost because that was illegal.

Still haven't seen any male waiters at Hooters.

And side note, those women complaining about the black shorts.  I've seen women in the gym wearing the exact same thing plus sports bra all the time.  I'll bet many wear the same type of booty shorts to the gym and don't complain.  I'm just being a wise ass.

“Wise ass”  :rofl: nice pun.

Old and new and old school.
Can they discriminate on you’re not hot? Like modeling. Or a Korean Bar.

No surprise how history repeats in the ongoing illegal occupation of Hawaii by the US.

“It’s not like I’m against the culture in some way but I guess that, I guess they call it the Protestant work ethic, to be frank about it,”

A statement such as this was very common during the so-called Territorial Era (1898-1959) of Hawaii that was routinely used by the racist White oligarchy to justify the exclusive hiring of White people from the continental US to fill most of the government and civil service positions; thereby, discriminating against all other non-White individuals during that period.

Great history lesson, as people not born in Hawaii, can actually see for themselves and understand why as well as when the derogatory use of "haole" all started.

I keep waiting to be called for that role of Martin Luther King Jr.  but they keep saying they want a black actor. Clear illegal racism.

You haven't heard?  Only actual actors that identify as the character (Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Bi, Black, Asian, etc.) are allowed to play the characters.  Scarlett Johansson was cast for the part of a transgender person, and the woke left went  b@t-sh!t crazy -- to the point that she had the role taken away!

Of course, that "rule" applies to  everyone except straight, white, cisgender characters.  Anyone can play them regardless of demography.
