Kitchen politics; or Erin learns to be a Chef

So...Erin's going to DVC now to become a chef; she will end up with a couple of culinary certificates and her A.A. degree.
We have been talking about her first few courses, where they visited restaurants and went into the kitchens of numerous dining establishments around the bay area... she and I had already noticed and discussed the preponderance of Spanish-speaking cooks in CA restaurant kitchens, and apparently, her teachers in the program have directly addressed this in her classes.

This isn't an exact quote from one of her instructors, but it's close...that the Hispanics will get a cook's job over Erin (a white girl) because the Mexicans will work harder and longer in the kitchen and won't bitch about getting paid more money than Erin will. Well hey now. 

And on top of that politically charged statement, that fact applies to both Hispanic women and men! (No gender bias here).

Very interesting discussion...
