McDonald’s is the latest company to roll back diversity goals (apnews.com)

Four years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks, McDonald’s is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

McDonald’s is the latest big company to shift its tactics in the wake of the 2023 ruling and a conservative backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Walmart, John Deere, Harley-Davidson and others rolled back their DEI initiatives last year.

I'd buy more expensive burgers if the Hispanic, Asian, and Black women behind the counter were all white blue eyed tall men. $20 dollar big Mac? Sure! So long as you can't make a hoop!

No, actually I saw the movie, white men can jump and hoop. I'll have the fries.

Yeah, it's sad how much we've conditioned people to ignore how much things cost and what they're really worth.
