Latina Says Restaurant Didn't Hire Her Because She Doesn't 'Speak White'

Melody Morales, 21, is filing a lawsuit against the Times Square Hawaiian Tropic Zone restaurant for discrimination.

She claims a manager refused her application for employment her last March because she has an accent. According to the suit, Melody the manager he told her: "You don't speak white"..."you are ghetto"..."I am not going to ruin my business with your Latin accent" are what she says he hold her.

Undeterred, Melody returned to the restaurant a few months later to apply again. But a different manager instantly rejected her, saying, "We will not hire you because you have a speech problem," and "You have a Latin accent."

Melody, who is Dominican and Puerto Rican and has 34-D breasts, says working at the restaurant, where the waitresses wear bikinis, was her dream job. (Yup, she said that.)

"It was kind of like my dream to work at the [Hawaiian Tropic Zone]," she said. "It's the bikini, I guess."

While the court waits to her her case, Meldoy has found a job at another bikini bar in Westchester, NY.

I believe that discrimination will never end. Haterrican how can you call someone a bimbo or even a ho she has the write to file a lawsuit. Maybe you should study ethics because the way you talk it looks like you do not have any. Hawain tropic break the law by being prejudices toward Melody. They will eventually pay for it and Melody will get justice.
