Transgender Engineer in Fatal Boston Trolley Crash Ran Stoplight

Study: Sleep disorder likely factor in trolley crash
advertisement
A federal safety panel said yesterday that the trolley operator who died after her train rammed another trolley in a Boston crash last year had ignored a red stop signal, likely because she suffered from an undiagnosed sleep disorder that caused her to briefly fall asleep.

[quote]Quinn, who was hired as a minority because of his transgendered "female-to-male" status, was born Georgia Quinn and boasts on an Internet networking site that he was one of the first transgender hires by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, sources said. [quote]
Heh.
The trolley driver lists his sexual orientation as "FTM" and was hired as a minority using his transgender status, two sources told ABC News.
"[Quinn] was initially hired as a minority and used her transgender status,'' an MBTA source said today.
Anyone wonder how many skinny, White, hetereosexual men were passed over for this job so that they could hire someone because of their "sexual orientation"? Unbelievable.

of course, if you don't cherry pick quotes from the story, you'd see this line..
MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo told ABC News today that there was "nothing unusual" about Quinn's hire, and that he was picked out of a lottery that he entered in 2004.

You know how easy it is to spot bigotry? Bigotry oozes out of sentences with sexual orientation, gender, race, and ethnic group modifiers used as adjectives to describe persons prior to actions that were taken especially when the actions are of harmful consequences. You sir continue to invoke no relevant or pertinent discussions, only vomits.

Re: Transgender Engineer in Fatal Boston Trolley Crash Ran Stoplight
Yes, I do. We could look at the SCOTUS pick, we could look at the SURGGEN pick, we could look at our president. We could look at the La Raza members being installed in our government, we could look at the Israelie dual-citizens in our government. We could look at the Noel Ignatievs, we could look at the media masters of multiculturalism. It's everywhere.
Of course, the vast majority of "bigotry" is just hatred for White people and White civilization. We just never hear about that because the media is obviously bias.

The issue here is not the person's sexual identification, rather the fact that he/she was texting on the cellphone and that caused the accident.
i've almost been run-over and killed by plenty of white, middle-aged, heterosexual soccer moms driving their ginormous SUVs whole yapping on the phone.

Re: Transgender Engineer in Fatal Boston Trolley Crash Ran Stoplight
You're confusing bigotry with representation and politics. One has to be dumb not to realize that winning in politics can't be appealing and having representative only to the white population. Don't throw the lib vs. cons into the mix either: Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzalez. Leave it to you and the only acceptable persons in power and government are skinny heterosexual white males.
Unless you can look past external attributes leading to bigotry, you have failed miserably to convince anyone on failed qualifications and poor merits, that is if anyone even would take you seriously. If the majority of the White people and White civilization are like you, you DESERVE the hatred. I personally HATE bigoted Blacks, Asians, Jews, Latinos, Whites, all equally.
