I have the exact same cat pillow, and almost the exact same cat.

I’m sorry for your loss.

That’s a very good example of confirmation bias. I’m not saying that those workers weren’t a problem, but I am definitely saying you pointing out that they were “DEI hires” is confirmation of existing biases.

If you hired bad workers, that’s the company’s fault. DEI doesn’t mean “hire any minority person”. DEI means don’t skip hiring someone because they’re a minority. It means when you find a qualified candidate, you should hire them, even if they’re black or a woman, for example. I’m sorry that your company seemed to misunderstand this. It’s a pretty common misconception, because conservatives want people to believe that DEI initiatives are something that they’re not. They want white men to believe that DEI initiatives are “taking away their jobs”.

And just because someone is a white straight cis man doesn’t mean they’ll be a good worker. The majority of shitty workers I’ve seen were white straight cis men. That’s probably because the majority of workers I’ve seen were white straight cis men, and that’s how statistics works.

If someone is really sick of everyone calling them a racist, maybe the problem is actually them being a racist. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been called a racist in my nearly four decades of life, and every time it was by a conservative claiming I was being racist against white people. (I am a white man.) I am extremely opinionated and very open about my opinions. So the problem seems not to be that everyone with a loud opinion is labeled a racist.

And yes, you were literally talking about racists not feeling able to express their opinions without consequences. I don’t view that as a problem. There should be consequences for expressing a racist opinion.

It is rather telling though that nowhere in my comment did I claim that you are racist, but that’s how you interpreted it.

Imagine not only does your search engine tell you to eat rocks and glue, but your Barbie does too!

Ah yes, the “won’t somebody think of the poor racists” argument for making Democrats even more conservative. No thanks, I’d prefer progressive Democrats. You should lose your job, social circle, and societal status if you’re a bigoted piece of trash.

Yes, it is causing us to consistently roll natural one (critical failure).

Social media is not a news source.

A city so Hispanic it was, until somewhat recently, Mexico.

In other words: I don’t understand why someone would want to think when being lazy is available to them.
