> I just wish they would stop talking about fighting systemic racism while literally being the greatest institution of systemic racism in the world. I can kind of see where they’re coming from and the benefits they have in some ways, but it’s incredible the same people who enforce racial quotas for a living give condescending seminars on how to be anti-racist.
They fixed that inconsistency by redefining racism in terms of power/oppression rather than "discrimination based on skin color".
Seems like a trivial bit of oppression to be forced to sit through a trite racist lecture honestly.
The racist stuff that matters is more how HR engages in ways to implement racial discrimination of questionable legality if it ever hit the highest court in the land but which has never been specifically tried against before and which is so unfamiliar that people don’t fully understand the implications. They engineer novel and creative means of racial discrimination in hiring to meet their quotas, things that would make any Hollywood accountant jealous. Since the law is practically internally contradictory (you can’t hire too many Whites and Asians but you can’t have a literal White and Asian quota) it leads to all manner of imagineering.
