I’m starting to feel like there’s a lot of people detached from reality. Also, is enforced diversity racist? Like, you only get the job because of your ethnicity, not any other reason?,(reply>), @mabrown666 The sad thing is...if you made it as a skit, it would be so hard to tell if it was parody/satire or not. It'd be funny if it weren't already true.,(reply>), These people think they will end racism and sexism by making a system which puts people in categories based on their ethnicity and gender...,(reply>), the only way forced diversity is fair is to break ties,(reply>), mabrown666 what a weird ass time we live in huh,(reply>)," The problem is that it doesn’t take much to infect a company. Let me play you out this skit.<br><br>Brian is an engineer and he is presenting his new hammer design to the ideas approval committee.<br>Brian: Welcome everyone", let me introduce our new hammer design. It has a rubber handle for improved grip," a carbon fibre shaft to keep the weight down and the classic head and claw in steel to give power and durability.<br>Committee: Perfect! Just what we wanted.<br>Karen: Well I’m sure it’s a very good… what did you call it? A hamher?<br>Brian: A Hammer.<br>Karen: Well that’s a little sexist isn’t it?<br>Brian: ? What? No"," it’s just what it’s called.<br>Karen: So"," it could be called a hamher? Unless you hate women!<br>Committee: Well we wouldn’t want to be seen as sexist and a simple name change isn’t going to hurt.<br>Committee: OK", it’s agreed, we start manufacturing the design as is," but marketing can call it a Hamher.<br>Karen: But what about the LGBTQIA+ community? You don’t want a twitter storm do you?<br>Committee: Oh shit"," no!<br>Committee: Rainbows! We could put a rainbow flag on the handle!<br>Committee: And colour the shaft pink", with sparkles for the women. My daughter is a girl," and she loves pink things with sparkles.<br>Karen: Good boy"," now you’re getting it.<br>Brian: It’s that going to put men off buying this? They are 94% of our market.<br>Committee: Brian! I never realised just how sexist you are!<br>Karen: Maybe the Committee should attend another of my diversity sensitivity training sessions. Maybe this afternoon at 5 o’clock sharp. <br>Committee: But I have a meet….<br>Karen: You aren’t going to tell me you have something more important than sensitivity"," are you?<br>Committee: No"," Karen.<br>Karen: Now this steel head. It seems way to aggressive and gender normative. Everyone sees that don’t they?<br>Committee: What? Oh"," yes way to gender thingy. We can’t have that! Can we?<br>Karen: I saw these lovely china unicorns in my local coffee shop"," maybe we can use them instead.<br>Brian: But that would break the first time you used it!<br>Karen: Oh my GOD! I can’t put up with this toxic environment any longer! I’m going to the safe space to tweet about how you allow this kind of bigoted right-wing behaviour in the workplace!<br>Exit Karen.<br>Committee: I’m sorry Brian", we are going to have to let you go. It’s the only way we can survive the backlash.
