I'm surprised top shareholders approve of diversity quotas for executive positions.
I wonder if maybe they hope that they'll get a boost from advertising their wokeness that will outweigh the operational drag of subpar diversity-hire management. It might, considering low income black and hispanic are their best customers, and virtue signaling to them may pay off.

Nobody that eats at McDonalds cares who the executives of the company are.
It's probably contingent on receiving "covid relief". This diversity BS is coming from the government, not corporations.

When have you seen a shareholder proposal specifically for this? I certainly haven't. They don't ask the shareholders about everything. We need to make our own anti racist shareholder proposals.

Zoning is "exclusionary"
"America’s racist housing rules really can be fixed
More than 50 years after passage of the Fair Housing Act, it’s time to sue the suburbs."

Paying rent is definitely a sign of "white privilege". Blacks don't have to fear getting evicted...so they skip the rent.
Whites have money to burn, so they pay it.

So many of the magazines I used to enjoy are now just full of propaganda. The question is, were they always propaganda?

You are really just better off burning your used engine oil, to help ward off global cooling. In fact that's likely what someone else is going to do with it to either heat their shop or in an old oil burning power plant that get used maybe 5 days a year.

Oil is just a hydrocarbon. It's a myth that is doesn't break down and sticks around forever.
I remember in the 1980s common claims were made that plastic bottles will be around for the next 1000 years. That's BS. Unless its cut off from the environment, it degrades into dust within 10.

Traffic accidents are racist. If whites are involved in accident with their vehicles maybe 4 die, with illegals it's 12+

Maybe the survivors will make bank from the insurance settlement.

Baseball uniforms. The home team (aka the good guys) traditional wear white. The away team (the bad guys) wears Grey which is just a lighter shade of black.

Why don't you tell the truth about who is attacking Asians in SF?

Is it because you are not really a journalist, but only a zero-ethics propagandist?

The only people that watch commercials, are the poor and the very old. Everybody else has a DVR so what you're seeing is a reflection of who watches television commercials still.

I disagree unless you live in a cabin in the woods it's everywhere. And it's also becoming the norm in all media, had to give up netflix because they think 10% of population are trannies. All movie remakes white characters are being replaced, King Arthur should never be black, period movies are becoming unwatchable.
