It's wild how choosing people for jobs based purely on their skin colour and gender is still OK in the USA...
Not only is it OK, but many call it 'progressive' and brag about it. 🤣
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
It must be so demeaning knowing you only got hired because of your skin colour or gender... Not because you were the best person for the job.
I would hate that. It would be embarrassing and condescending.
It's offensive to everybody involved.
It's not so different to how you would feel if you were rejected from a job because of your skin colour or gender...
Both are offensive and degrading.
If you pick the best people, 'diversity' is a natural consequence. Stop trying to meet quotas and over engineer everything.
Whether or not you like him, it's good that Obama got elected because he was deemed the best candidate. Fair and square.
They didn't just say "It's time for a black president!" and then go looking for someone who fit the bill.
That would have tarnished his standing and legacy.
If you GENUINELY believe in the capabilities of both genders and all different races, ethnicities, etc. you don't need to do this fake 'diversity and equity' nonsense.
Excluding 'straight white men' actually suggests they are superior somehow...
It's all backwards. Be normal.

For several decades, Western nations have been experiencing a severe rise in obesity and avoidable chronic diseases that kill millions annually.
The past 2 years could have been the PERFECT time for a strong public messaging campaign about getting and staying healthy...
Instead of emphasising nutrition, exercise, bodyweight regulation, and basic supplementation, the ENTIRE message has been about avoiding people, hiding your face, and taking injections indefinitely.
Nothing else. Absolutely nothing.
Even worse, many of the implemented policies WORSENED people's overall physical, mental, and relational health.
And the messaging created a breed of humans who are paranoid and terrified of themselves, each other, and the air they breathe.
In case you haven't noticed, one of my most consistent messages for years is to stop living in constant FEAR.
FEAR is why so much stuff is going wrong. The average person is not willing to stand for anything or defend themselves. Always afraid of (mostly imaginary) consequences.
Honestly, the societal bar for courage has never been lower... yet people become less and less willing to risk anything.
If you're not willing to deal with any minor fears or risks now, then expect much greater risks and consequences in the future.
Better to nip it in the bud.
I have never told anybody to go to war, or to brave bullets, swords, or bombs...
I simply encourage people to SPEAK. Use your voice and your actions.
Stand on what you believe in. Voice your concerns. Speak up when you see something wrong.
