Just imagine how you would feel if you do not get the job that you were qualified for and instead it is given to a diversity candidate.  I would feel some anger and oh yeah “(insert name of race) rage”.  This has been going on for years.

You throw this out there like nothing was happening to incite diversity hiring...

So you're anti free speech when people point out the obvious about wokes lol

 

The use of terms like woke and cancel culture as epithets are designed to shut down free speech, not promote it. Those terms are exclusively used by the right.

As if the woke, cancel culture isn't intended to shut down conservative free speech. Right...

 

NORMAL people are simply calling out the woke for being whiners instead of doers. Whine all you want, people are getting VERY tired of it.

My point exactly, they don't want to talk about it so they employ insults to paint anyone with a social conscience as a winger.

They just have a life to live and would rather not stand around exchanging bullet points. As we're doing here.

 

So bye for now, I'm sure someone will come, continue, and give you the attention you so desperately seek. I've never required much.

You presume too much. I would call this projection.

In some cases Affirmative Action and/or Diversity Hiring gone too far.  The two jobs I would not have a diversity hire are:

 

1) The Pilot flying I am a passenger on

2) The surgeon performing my operation

 

Just about every job in the US Federal Government has some kind of hiring quota based upon Race and Gender(now it also includes the gender you identify with).

canthai: yes 500 years ago, Europe was behind China ( and other ancient civilizations ) before Enlightenment / Renaissance. Arabs took & used what was already there.  Blacks never invented anything. english common law, freedom of speech, democracy, modern science, institutions;all from the West.

 

Greeks modernized mediterranean / north africa, then Romans. Ancient Egyptians were Caucasians from Near East. western white countries are the sole benchmark for high civilization but losing their way with excessive tolerance. asia / africa/ latin america will never really understand democracy & freedom. its a “ white” thing. computers / jets / cars / spacecraft / modern science & medicine / industrialization / firearms coming originally all from western (white) people.

Civilization first appeared in Iraq circa 3000 BCE

Were they white ?

no problem for me if someone has passed a western flying or medical course

i never fly with airlines without a near perfect safety record and all pilots being western or western- trained, preferably ex- military. surgeon would need to be same standard......

problem is that stds ARE falling with d&i policies, e.g. sub- std female us navy pilots crashing when they should have been scrubbed in training.....as male pilots were......

Students do get a bit over the top when they are young. The old saying 'A young right winger has no heart' 'An old left winger has no brains' or something like that. Yes some students have gone over the top but they are young. The big lie is when the right attributes those characteristics to democrats as a whole.

Poor Al Franken. Trump was right  - he shouldn't have jumped. He did very little wrong if it was wrong at all.

if you are referring to the £500 pw for self quarantining......

 

58,000 applications were successful out of about 190,000 in England.

 

That equates to 35 minutes of Serco's Test&Trace

Republicans are the right. Yes they are people too and they lie and exaggerate about the extent of support by Democrats for a range of far left causes.
