Here is the next first minister of Wales(a black man). I am wondering what the Brexiteers would think about that...

The fact that you seemingly expects brexit-sympathizers to be automatic racists say more about you then it does about them. If I was to use such “homemade logic” - I would (supposedly) never vote for anybody who has NOT blue eyes as my entire identity (naturally) is defined by and revolving around the color of my eyes – EVERYTHING else (such as merit, ideas and actions supposedly) does not matter…

Shocking scenes from the border highlight the extent to which Texas is standing alone in the breach on behalf of the entire country. Meanwhile the federal government spends more time going after the Americans defending the border than the mostly men literally breaking through it.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — A Michigan state lawmaker involved in former President Donald Trump’s election denials is being widely criticized making false claims that buses carrying college athletes to Detroit for March Madness were shuttling illegal migrant “invaders” into the city.
State House Rep. Matt Maddock made the claim Wednesday night in a social media post accompanied by photos of three buses near an Allegiant plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Maddock wrote that the buses “just loaded up with illegal invaders.”

He likely got a quick view of skin darker than his own and, like all Republicans do it that situation, assumed these "subhumans" were out to soil his pure white bloodline. Hence the panicked posting.

To the surprise of no one, corporate DEI campaigns have been exposed as a sham self-promoted by consultants and other grifters as an infinite money glitch for the managerial class.

Combined with the erroneous reverse-causality nature of McKinsey’s tests, our inability to quasi-replicate their results suggests that despite the imprimatur given to McKinsey’s studies, they should not be relied on to support the view that US publicly traded firms can expect to deliver improved financial performance if they increase the racial/ethnic diversity of their executives.

There is no market incentive for such blatantly political violations of the Civil Rights Act. Or maybe the faction obsessed with statistical disparities can explain how deliberately giving 94% of new jobs at top companies to max 25% of the population based on their race isn’t a violation of the civil rights of the remaining 75%.

Great replacement, the office version.

Edit: It has to be a nightmare to be a white man in the USA, can someone share their experience?

It's awful! The liberals won't let me buy even one measly slave!

DEI initiatives are pushing for over-representation of politically privileged groups and promoting racially discriminatory hiring practices, yes. A quarter to a third of board members/directors at public companies in the US are ethnic minorities, so the universal effort to deny jobs and promotions to white employees based on their race is not only discriminatory, but will also produce skewed representation by default where there it is already accurate.

It’s a grift, plain and simple. DEI campaigns have focused on the most lucrative white collar jobs at the largest companies - to your point. Nobody seems particularly concerned that the logging industry is 80% white and 95% men.

How would you fight against the historical marginalization against minorities and women? (Any answer is valid, except "it is not necessary to fight against such discrimination"). (I don't know anything about the logging industry, but more and more women are choosing to be welders )

You are supposed to invent a time machine and go back in time to fight against things that happened in history.
OR
You can punish people today for things someone else did in history.

Infinite money glitch.

the audacity of the white men to feel mistreated by attempts to fight against the marginalization of minorities. Cry me a river of really virile white tears.

You know who brought the notion of human rights and democracy to the rest of the world, give them a chance to wake up from centuries of serfdom and have a life beyond strugging to stay alive?

This sounds alarmingly like, let's say Western, supremacism. A very crude/vulgar paternalism.

Another day, another bunch of leftists cheering for right wing authoritarians from the safety of the civilization they hate. It isn’t and has never been about progress, peace or equality. It is and has always been about undermining and destroying civilization as an end in itself. They proudly announce their intentions from the heights of cultural and political dominance of the Anglosphere. When will those of us who value what remains of our lives and livelihoods start to believe them?

yes we are satanists babe

So you're telling me we would have been better off living as illiterate peasant farmers under our all knowing emperor and his opium-smoking bureaucrats, all 0f them overweight in a land of hungry people?

A dog in 18th century Paris had better life.

Are you talking about China? You know who killed (they killed him?) the last emperor right? Really bad example.

By the way, I don't think a French peasant lived much better than a Chinese peasant in the 18th century.
