Either race is important or it’s not. You can’t encourage one race to have absurd inflated egos about their skin color, while demeaning the skin color of another race, and punishing them if they attempt the mildest defense. Some races are not more equal than others. This isn’t Animal Farm. We should all be assessed by the content of our character, as Martin Luther King (who’d be attacked as a White Supremacist today) once said. I hate talking about race. But it’s their favorite subject. And because none of us wanted to talk about it, we stand on the brink of extinction. That’s something we should all be concerned about, and not afraid to combat. Some species never had this chance. Let’s not be wooly mammoths or dodo birds.
Lawsuit city, right there.
Yesterday, James O’Keefe and OMG Media released another probably-illegal DEI quota video, adding to last week’s IBM exposé. This one was from pharmaceutical giant Sanofi.
“We make it very clear so every hiring manager knows,” stressed Sanofi’s senior vice-president, probably not fully realizing she would later be going viral. Sanofi requires one in five of its employees to be black, and one in ten must be hispanic. I’m not sure which is more troubling, the potential Title VII violations, or the fact that merit seems not to be the highest priority anymore at the nation’s largest corporations that make important things like medicines.
In a landmark June decision, the Supreme Court found university diversity quotas unconstitutional. Because most corporate hiring policies aiming at “diversity” goals have been justified because colleges do it, many commenters expected lawsuits against corporations to follow the Court decision even though its decision didn’t reach private businesses.
As private entities, corporations are not subject to Constitutional limits on government.
But corporations are limited by Title VII, which bars racial discrimination in hiring, even so-called “reverse discrimination.” And in fact, the lawsuits have begun. All the momentum seems to be running against DEI right now.
It’s also more than a little infuriating that the political class has treated the festering poison of institutionalized hostility towards Whites, sorry “whiteness”, with insouciant complacence for decades now, but suddenly discovers its capacity for moral outrage the moment America’s wealthiest and most privileged victim group has to endure insults to their fragile dignity. It’s especially unsympathetic given that Jewish academics have for generations played an outsize role in fostering the anti-White, anti-Western, anti-male, and anti-civilizational bigotry animating the post-enlightenment progressivist ideology of antisocial injustice. Now that they’ve belatedly realized that the multicultural melanated master race they’ve lovingly cultivated as a battering ram against heritage Amerikaners sees Jews as just another group of White supremacists, they suddenly have a problem with their rampaging golem. Excuse me while I dig around in my closet, I’ve got the world’s tiniest shofar packed away somewhere, and I’m going to play it just for them.
But its the white people doing this to white people, isn't it?
In Effort To "Foster Greater Inclusivity," Baking Company Hosts Baking Competition Which Excludes Whites
it's hilarious watching guys like cuban blow themselves up on twitter and reveal themselves as hilariously unable to think by analogy, extrapolate, or foresee simple objections like:
to speak of "the best AA woman" you can find instead of "the best person you can find" is, quite literally, the definition of racism and prejudice.
you're "pre-judging" this person based on race and gender and assuming that these characteristics must somehow imbue some sort of valuable "diverse perspective."
but how do you know it's true?
how do you know this this one specific vector of diversity is the important one?
why not a gay arab or a pilipino? why not tall people or short people or people from cleveland? why not a conservative to offset all the woke?
you're literally ascribing virtue (or inability to have such) to race and gender as a core assumption like it's some sort of trait intrinsic to being black or female.
this is the foundation of racism. ...
it’s just glorious.
it’s the best part of “right now.”
ivory towers are crumbling into ruin and the smug sili valley simplicos are not only hoisting themselves by their own petards, but doing it live as free performance art for the proles.
you could not buy amusement like this at any price.
i doubt this is the bread and circuses they had in mind.
