Finially a movie that wasn't afraid to make fun of all the stereotypes out there. I'm oh so sick of political correctness. Up here in Canada we have to let anyone who is female, disabled, from a native background, from an ethinic minority have jobs before anyone white and male. Yes if I'm more qualified than (I'm white and male) a member of any group mentioned above I *should* get the job (as long as the company hiring wasn't afraid of fighting law suits)... But I have seen job postings that said they were looking exclusively for native workers, or female workers. These were computer jobs that being white and male should not have had an impact on but that was the requirements. What would happen if a job was posted for a white male only? Think racism/sexism would be called? I think so.

If companies hire according to equal opportunity why do they have a box asking if your female and a minority? Why not just have the same questions for everyone and hire the best person!?!? By asking people to identify themselves as a minority they're perpetuating the racist cycle. If a white male is passed up for a job due to his colour and his gender is that not racism/sexism?

I think it is but current society says otherwise it seems.
