A job is a job guy. You pay taxes right. You want services? Well you need people to do those jobs. They take test for those jobs. And have to get qualifications sometimes also. Its just a different employer. Dont be an idiot. If you are upset about it. Dont blame the worker. Blame the employers which is the government. GOovernment employees work. And its stupid also. Firefighting is government employee. Military is. CIA, police, cyber security, ect. You are a fat ass neck beard not doing shit and likely hasnt for the last couple of years since ive known you on this forum. You likely have no skills.

You're unable to comprehend simple English. That's a skill you should have developed in elementary school. I'll sum up my post in a way you can understand: government jobs handed to minorities because they are minorities and not because they score better on civil exams leads to shitty services as we all have seen and a voting block that keep the nepotism alive.
Difficult? I can't make it any easier.
btw, good luck with your sociology degree. Did I call it or what? 2 for 2.

Spanish civil war. Spanish human trafficking of european women. University of prostitution in spain.
Th
many of resources were extracted from latin america into spain. So they sail back and forth to recieve the resources to also fund them and their wars around europe. Merchants also traded between. Some return to spain some stay. Many stayed but some also returned. Columbus for example returned to spain and died there. And had kids there. And because of the casta system they also try to go back to spain to birth there if they can over birthing in the new world. His kids were born in portugal and spain
Galician politician selling galician slaves
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...XycWLg&cf=1
http://arcade.stanford.edu/rofl/how-...ar-antecedentsThere are a number of reasons that academics have argued to explain such migration. Poverty has been traditionally seen as the main one, sometimes presented as some sort of collective tragedy. More recently, historians such as Manuel Núñez Seixas have also brought the attention to other causes, for example individual or family “strategies” related to the existence of mobility networks oversees and even a “migratory tradition” in Galicia.
To my surprise, I’ve also come across another less known (and shocking) cause for the arrival of a high number of Galicians (around 17.000) in Cuba in 1854: the greed of a Galician politician and businessman called Urbano Feijóo de Sotomayor. I knew about the also despicable involvement of some Galicians in thehuman traffickingof African people in the nineteenth century. In this case, Urbano Feijóo tricked many of his fellow countrymen into becoming slaves for sugar plantations, seeking to bring cheap labour to overseas businesses. After the abolition of slave trade in Great Britain in 1807, this country also put pressure on other nations to stop this practice.
For landowners, such as Feijóo, used to exploit humans in their plantations, having to hire free black workers or to illegally buy slaves became too expensive. Feijóo’s solution was to convince the Cuban government of the benefits of bringing Galician workers to their country, arguing amongst other reasons that Galicians could be expected to work twice as hard than blacks. At the time, Cuba was also interested in re-colonising the island with white people, fearing a revolution similar to the one led by black slaves in their neighbour Saint Domingue, which led to the creation of Haiti. Feijóo took advantage of such concerns.
In Spain, he also claimed that his project would be beneficial for his home region. It must be taken into account that in 1853 Galicia was going through a period of famine and had also been affected by a cholera outbreak. Such misery, probably together with the lack of education of most Galician peasants, made it apparently easy for Feijóo and his agents to convince thousands to sign a contract in which they consented, for example, to receive physical punishment if they broke the agreed conditions, and to work for lower wages than any other workers.
Feijóo’s enterprise was a complete failure, as he was unable to find landowners who would take ‘his inmigrants’, and led 500 Galicians to die of starvation. Others were shackled and locked in confined spaces, and those who didn’t escape lived under inhumane conditions. The case was eventually brought to light and taken to the Spanish Parliament by another Galician, Ramón de la Sagra. The affected Galicians were freed from their contracts. However, Urbano Feijóo did not have to pay in any way for his wrongdoings and the scandal did not stop him from continuing his political career a decade later.
The whole story is told in much more detail in the documentary‘Gallegos por esclavos’[Galicians for Slaves] shown on RTVE (which is also the main source for this blog entry). It is really worth a watch. Another very interesting source is the websitexenealoxia.org, whose initial findings were key to reveal how Urbano Feijóo enslaved thousands of Galician men.
Unlike other areas of western Europe, slavery played a significant role in Iberian society at the dawn of the early modern era. In Lisbon and Évora, and throughout much of southern Portugal, slaves comprised roughly 10 percent of the population by the mid-1550s. A comparable scenario existed in parts of southern Spain; 44,000 slaves made up nearly 10 percent of the population of the entire archbishopric of Seville in 1565. Rural slave labor in Iberia during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries mainly involved herding livestock, guarding fields and flocks, clearing land, and harvesting and processing crops. Enslaved people also commonly worked as sailors and boatmen on small vessels designed for coastal trade and river traffic. In urban areas, slaves performed a wide range of occupations, laboring as artisans and apprentices, domestic servants, stevedores and porters, construction workers, and street vendors.
In early modern Iberia, slavery was not exclusively associated with racial categories as it would be in the colonial Americas. All available sources indicate that sub-Saharan Africans and their descendants—often referred to as “blacks”—constituted a significant segment of Iberia’s slave populations during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. One recent study suggests that as many as 350,000 to 400,000 African captives may have been transported to Spain and Portugal during the two centuries from 1440 to 1640. However, during the era in question, one’s religious background, political loyalties, and geographical origins also played key roles in determining who was eligible to be enslaved. Many enslaved women and men in Iberia were Muslims born in North Africa or the eastern Mediterranean, either captured abroad or purchased as slaves in foreign or local markets. Alongside thesemoros(“Moors”) andberberiscoswere Iberians of Muslim ancestry known asmoriscos. Though some enslaved Muslims andmoriscoswere black, or of mixed racial background, many were described as “white slaves.” Iberia’s slave population also included smaller numbers of captives brought from India and China, as well as native Canary Islanders and indigenous peoples from the Americas.
Given the prominence of sub-Saharan Africans among other ethnic minorities in early modern Spain and Portugal, and the significant role of slavery in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Iberian society, it should come as no surprise that Africans and people of African descent participated in Iberian efforts to colonize the Americas from the very beginning. Spanish colonization in the Americas began shortly after Columbus’s initial voyage to the Caribbean in 1492–1493. During his fourth voyage to the region a decade later, the crew of one of Columbus’s ships included a black cabin boy named Diego. In similar fashion, the Portuguese became interested in Brazil after Cabral’s voyage in 1500–1501. When Cabral first landed in Brazil, he sent a black sailor ashore to attempt to communicate with indigenous people. During the 1510s, Portuguese vessels trading for brazilwood along the Brazilian coast likewise employed small numbers of black mariners, both free and enslaved.

Nearly 800 years moors raped and slave traded iberians. When the reconquista happened they kept moors converted to christannity. These are your ancestors.But was slavery a purely colonial affair,as these statements indicate?
Slavery in early-modern Spain: a few remarks
Despite this general amnesia, slaves and the descendants of slaves were present in early-modern Spain, and their numbers were not particularly small. To cite just a few examples, we know that in mid-sixteenth-century Seville 7.4 percent of censused inhabitants were slaves[7]and that between 1682 and 1729 the slave population of Cádiz was extremely large, making up perhaps as much as 15 percent of the total urban population.[8]In other cities, such as Málaga, Granada, Las Palmas, Huelva, and Palos de la Frontera, as many as one in ten residents may have been slaves. Between 1539 and 1699, 1,384 slave children were baptized in the small Andalucian town of Lucena, with an average of 400 children every thirty years.[9]Similar numbers may have been true also for Córdoba.[10]Historians who studied slavery in Spain thus concluded that Renaissance and perhaps even early-modern Spain may have had the largest African population in Europe.[11]Where did these slaves come from?
We know that in the fifteenth century slaves arrived in the peninsula through the slave markets of Barcelona, Valencia, and Baleares and that in the sixteenth century Lisbon became the major slave provider. The custom house (alfândega) of Mourão, a Portuguese settlement on the border between Portugal and Spain, testified to this trade, registering the massive entry of African slaves to Extremadura from Portugal.[12]Seville was also an important market, selling perhaps as many as 1,000 slaves per year in the late sixteenth century and as many as 1,400 in the early seventeenth century.[13]During this period, secondary markets also existed in Valencia, Málaga, Burgos, and Valladolid.[14]Slavery, in short, was not restricted to some areas: although the presence of slaves was particularly important in the south, slavery was a general phenomenon, present all over the peninsula. Furthermore, slaves were not necessarily luxury items, and people belonging to very different social groups and of radically different economic means could be slaveholders.[15]
Indeed, in some places slavery was so widely present (or rather omnipresent) that contemporaries complained about it . In both the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the authorities of Seville thus remarked that the number of African slaves was so great that they outnumbered the regular citizens.Because of their presence, Seville looked like a chessboard, alternating between white and black (“se parecían a los trebejos del ajedrez tanto prietos como blancos, por los muchos esclavos que hay en la ciudad”).[16]
Not only didSpain have a huge population of slaves, a population that by the late sixteenth century was mostly composed of individuals of African descent, and not only were slaves present (although in varying numbers) all over the peninsula and in all social milieus, but also their numbers did not necessarily drop at the end of the sixteenth century as historians once believed.[17]Recent research suggests that slavery and the presence of Africans continued to be important factors in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and even into the early nineteenth century.[18]Indications for this continuity are everywhere to be found: in 1837 the Cortes debated a law to abolish slavery in the peninsula; and in 1851 the proposal for a new civil code included the issue of peninsular slavery (neither in 1837 nor in 1851 was action taken, and indeed slavery was never formally abolished in Spain—it is possible that it gradually died out on its own). We also know that slaves were massively present in eighteenth-century Cádiz, still forming perhaps as much as 10 percent of the local population, and local newspapers continued to advertise their sale.[19]The situation in Granada may have been similar.[20]In both cities, however, there are indications that while slavery may have persisted into the early nineteenth century, by the mid-eighteenth century the numbers of slaves may have been dropping. It is also possible that, by that time, most slaves were held by people who had contacts with the Americas or were recent arrivals, which perhaps helps explain the connection made between slavery and colonialism.
How did Africans disappear?
Most historians studying African slavery in Spain were mainly interested in uncovering how and why this population disappeared. That is, they wanted to explain why there were no Africans or people with clear African traits in present-day Spain.
The answers they gave differed over time. Many historians dismissed the problem altogether by offering commonsense solutions. Following this method, an older generation of scholars suggested that most slaves had integrated into Spanish society. Spanish society, they claimed, was not racist: it allowed for mixed marriages and it produced mixed offspring. It also allowed many ex-slaves to become well-known and successful individuals.[21]Rather than race, social divisions in early-modern Spain followed religion. Thus, Africans who “freely accepted Christianity and Spanish culture” were allowed to incorporate fully into the economic, social, and religious life, helping to create the so-called ethnic diversity of the early-modern age.[22]Among other things, this was possible because most slaves were brought to Spain at a young age. As children or adolescents, they learned to speak Spanish and adopted Spanish customs, Spanish manners, and Spanish names and surnames.[23]
Yet these claims for (an almost) white legend have been rebuffed by a new generation of historians who have stressed, on the contrary, that in Spain as elsewhere slavery was a repressive institution.[24]Because over time slavery became associated with Africans, and Africans with slavery, in Spain as elsewhere freed Africans were discriminated against both legally and socially.[25]That is to say, religious conversion may have been important and may have won some acceptance, but by the late fifteenth century and certainly thereafter even in Spain “identities were no longer so easily shed by embracing new faiths, learning new languages or accepting new laws.”[26]Contrary to the older generation, the newer generation of researchers thus insists that in Spain (as elsewhere) there was no rapid integration and that most descendants of slaves, even after they were freed, remained marginalized.[27]
For those maintaining that there was no integration the answer to the mystery of where this African populationwentlies in demographic trends. According to their calculations, many slaves and freed Africans may have immigrated back to Africa or ended up in the Americas. Furthermore, many Africans had no descendants or their descendants died at a young age. This may have happened because slaves were not encouraged to marry or reproduce, and many Africans were freed when they were too old to bear children.[28]
But even if we believe that biological mixing, immigration, or reproductive failure explains the lack of African descendants after the demise of slavery in the early nineteenth century, we still have no answer to the question of why in the seventeenth and eighteenth century people living in Spain (and witnessing the large African population there) still considered slavery a colonial affair. Were all these people blind
They are known as moriscos
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mori..._the_expulsion
Romans enslaved iberians. Spaniards are mixed with them.A number of ethnicities in northern Spain have historically been suspected of having Morisco roots. Among them are the Vaqueiros de Alzada of Asturias, theMercheros(present throughout northern and western Spain), the Pasiegos of the Pas Valley in the mountains of Cantabria and the Maragatos of the Maragatería region of Leon. Genetic studies have been performed on the latter two, both showing higher levels of North African ancestry than the average for Iberia, although only in the case of the Pasiegos was there a clear differentiation from adjacent populations.[91]
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/...berianwar.html
There was one last rebellion in 19 BC, when many of the Cantabrians, having been sold into slavery after their earlier defeat, murdered their masters and returned home. Subdued by Agrippa, who killed almost all those of military age and disarmed the others, the tribe was forced from its strongholds and compelled to live in the plains. After almost two centuries, the wars in Spain had come to an end.
The History of Rome (XXVIII.12)
It is difficult not to remember what another rebel leader, in the highlands of Scotland, is to have said about the Romans before he, too, was defeated: "They rob, kill and rape and this they call Roman rule. They make a desert and call it peace."

Um, what? lol. I think you were in the middle of a thought but gave up.
Um, no. It was rare and hence why your 'evidence' refers to Black slaves being brought from Africa to Spain and not slaves from Latin America to Spain. Using Columbus as an example is humorous. First of all, there was barely a colony when he was still in good favor with the Spanish crown. Second of all, he was arrested and jailed by the Spanish crown (for abusing Amerindians... you didn't know that, did ya?) There was no reason for him to go back to the New World after having lost favor with the Spanish court.many of resources were extracted from latin america into spain. So they sail back and forth to recieve the resources to also fund them and their wars around europe. Merchants also traded between. Some return to spain some stay. Many stayed but some also returned. Columbus for example returned to spain and died there. And had kids there. And because of the casta system they also try to go back to spain to birth there if they can over birthing in the new world.

That's no different than how indentured servants were treated and hence the reference to contracts. If only you had a wider knowledge of history.

How many Puerto Ricans have SSA and Amerindian y-dna? Rare? Why would that be? Oh, right. The slave master wasn't from SSA or Amerindian.
How many Iberians have y-dna from North Africa? Since you're such a good researcher (referencing sources that doesn't relate to your assertions) I'm sure you'll do well find the answer. The rapist is going to have the y-dna of the region of the world he came from. It's why you don't have Amerindian y-dna. What you hate is your own ancestors, not mine. It also explains why Puerto Ricans are so rapey.
Romans enslaved everyone. They even joined the Roman army to enslave others. That's how it worked. But no Romans didn't mix with them to any significant degree. There is something called population genetics you may not have been familiar with.Romans enslaved iberians. Spaniards are mixed with them.

Yes, they take a test and if you're a minority (except Asian and any of the other competent groups) you are given favor despite your low score. Have you heard the term affirmative action? Of course you have but you left it out as if I wouldn't know of its existence and this is why you fail. It's not competitive if one group is shown favor despite lower scores on average.
Why are you mad, bro? Is it because I was able to figure out your family is middle class by way of being state workers? And that you're studying for a crappy sociology degree? How do you think I could possibly know all that without you ever saying a word about it before? It's probability. The odds are high for both.
