Question by The Answer Man: Is it legal for a job posting to state "preferably bicultural"? I was browsing job postings this morning and came across one that listed that applicants be "preferably bicultural". Is this legal? This is for a job in Pennsylvania. I know they can state "minorities encouraged to apply", but to state "preferably bicultural" seems a bit fishy to me. Best answer for Is it legal for a job posting to state "preferably bicultural"?:

Answer by Winnie

Answer by redvelvetflames4ever
That has to be some type of typo. They probably meant bi-lingual. What would a person's skill set have to do with them being bi-cultural? I've read some PA's postings when I was planning on moving over there. Just a bunch of stupid people who have no idea what they are saying.

Turkey has ceased its shelling of Syria in retaliation for a mortar attack that killed Turkish civilians, but the hostilities have laid bare the fact that, despite cooperation so far, the United States and other Western powers have vastly different concerns and goals than Syria's neighbors when it comes to resolving the Syrian conflict.
With a spillover of fighting into Turkish territory a possibility and the growing rebel and refugee presence in eastern Turkey already sowing some discontent among locals, Turkey feels a much greater sense of urgency to bring about a resolution. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been one of the most strident voices of criticism of the Assad regime in Syria, as well as one of the most overt backers of the rebels.
While the US and others have clearly sided with the rebels, their support has been far more careful.Â
Turkey's parliamentary resolution yesterday authorizing military offensives into other countries prompted a flurry of alarm among Turks and the international community. Officials from Turkey's ruling party have been quick to issue statements reassuring Turks and the international community that the resolution was only a precaution.

"The intent in sending a very strong message was to deter future aggression."
The UN Security Council "condemned in the strongest terms the shelling by the Syrian armed forces" â€" a move that required the approval of
