Big Eagle applied for a fork lift operator job at a firm based in Prince Albert.

Joe applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test and were led to a quiet room with no interruptions by the Manager.

When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.

The manager went to Big Eagle and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we've decided to give Joe the job.

Big Eagle , "What 'cho mean, why you doin that, you are racist? We both got 19 questions right? This is Prince Albert and I 'm first nations, I should get the job."

Manager, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong."

Big Eagle said, "Tell me how would one wrong answer be better than another?"

Manager, "Simple, On question number 7 Joe wrote down, 'I don’t know.'

You put down, ‘Neither do I’."
