On the other hand, nobody's complaining about all the "native English
speakers' only" or "American English speakers only" ads that show up on the
freelance sites. Then again, those are usually the $1 for 500 words ads, so
maybe it's fitting....

I keep my hoax alert on high at all times but there
are many, many details in this story that check out,
including the fact that there is a recruiting firm
with the name mentioned in the article, the hiring
company exists and has a spokeswoman with the same
name as is quoted in the article, and there is
an assistant counsel with the EEOC with the same
name as is quoted in the article. Therefore, the
odds look pretty good that the story is real and
not fabricated.

Whether it deserves such loud media attention is
another matter entirely :->
