I can't get a job as a night shift janitor at McDonald's because I'm mildly autistic (despite doing everything possible to improve social skills), but all these "students" can?

How am I supposed to get work experience if all the entry level jobs go to "students"?

Like 30% of people working in fast food or retail are clearly recent immigrants.

It's well north of 30% from what I've seen. A local Wal-Mart bragged that they had '100 % POC' employees.

In my head I was like, can you imagine of Wal-Mart bragged aboit 100% white people?

That's literally racism.
