 I remember one of my early jobs in life working as a prep cook in “Planet Hollywood” in

Washington, DC. Although, DC is a heavily African-American city the majority of people working in

the kitchen were Latinos, with many Puerto Ricans as is usual for the East Coast. I remember that I

had a good relationship with one worker, she was pretty, etc. One day she told me that she liked me,

but she didn't like my skin and that is why we would never be anything more. This is somewhat

emblematic of race relations among the working poor. I do note that Washington has no poor working

class white neighborhoods. Unlike Boston, where I also lived, where there are substantial white

ghettos along with African-American and Latino ghettos. The dynamic is different in town without

large white ghettos, such as our town San Francisco. A town where the overwhelming majority of

white people are urban professionals (“yuppies) or students from middle class families, even the Irish

undocumented migrants go from in the past being common laborers to management in Irish owned

construction jobs or bar managers of Mexican laborers in traditionally poor Irish pubs.

One of my first jobs in San Francisco back in the mid-90s was as a cook in a local cafe franchise.

Who received the attention for manager training? I did, even though again the majority of people in the

kitchen where Latinos. I remember working in Alaska in the fisheries industry again working side by

side with Latinos, few of whom could speak any English. We camped out in a work camp for the

fisheries workers, it was nice that the Latinos referred to us all as campesinos. My overwhelming

experience working with Latinos in low skilled laborer positions has been good and challenging, it is
very hard to keep up with a Latino, especially Latinos from rural Mexico. I do not work as common

laborer anymore. Why? There are a couple leading reasons, the first has to do with my perception that

I was not being hired as a kitchen worker, or construction laborer because of competition in San

Francisco from Latino laborers. Again this is just a perception on my part. One thing that many white

people do not consider is that with the influx of Latino labor that native born people do not have to

work unskilled positions. My adaptive strategy became one of educating myself in computer

programming the abundance of cheap non-native labor has led to the oppurtunity for people to leave

common labor and enter skilled labor for native born people.
