I have no idea where you get your information but as a Home Health Nurse, for 40+ years in Florida, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. 20 years in St Pete, 20 years here in The Villages. Employed by 5 of the major HH Agencies in the state.
At not one of those agencies was the majority of employees anything but white American born males & females....... And those who were not white American born were treated no differently than those of us who were white. The only exception I will make, and it didn't matter if we were white or "other", most did not want to work in TV because most often we were treated as less than equal. I never encountered the discrimination anywhere in HHC as I did here in TV. If I decided to let them know that I was a resident, ie, "one of them", then the "attitude" adjusted.
