WHAT IS 365BLACK?

At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's. Plus, you can also have a chance to win exciting once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. So make sure you visit often — you just might get inspired.

"In recognition of the extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of the Asian Pacific American community, McDonald’s is proud to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated every May to commemorate the contributions Asian Pacific Americans have made to the United States. On October 2, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a Joint Resolution establishing the first week in May 1979 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. The recognition was permanently expanded to one full month as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 14 years later. May was designated as Asian Pacific Heritage Month because of two historic events: the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in America on May 7, 1843 and the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad (by many Chinese laborers) on May 10, 1869.

Asian Pacific Americans are greatly impacting mainstream American culture. Trends such as yoga, feng shui and Asian fusion cuisine are only a few examples."

I guess it's not McDonald's fault this exists, they're just satisfying the market's demand for fast food chains creating tiny websites devoted to racial pride and history. Milton Friedman spoke of this before his death.

There is an increasing number of Asian Pacific American actors in major movies, television and cable programs, and even more of them working behind the scenes around the country. Popular Asian movies are often adapted into Hollywood versions. Asian Pacific American newscasters and reporters are also redefining the way American consumers view the news.

"Like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leave and fruit, McDonald's has branched out to the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunities"

Today, more and more Asian Pacific Americans are being identified with sports. Be it a hole-in-one, hitting a 100 mph fast ball that leads to a home run, winning a grand slam tennis title at seventeen or debuting a change-of-edge spirals on the ice, they have become household names in a host of sporting activities. Asian Pacific Americans, particularly immigrants, are also helping to induce greater public interest in other sports, including soccer, field hockey and cricket.

and yet no Martial Arts.....

It is just another botched attempt at flattery, made by people so steeped in insincerity they have developed tin ears.

this thread

ooh, the "opportunities" video on the first link starts off promisingly, but then someone says "mcdonald's is your neighborhood restaurant." which may be a little too literal for some places.
