Sure, there were a bunch of genius-level physicists capable of building an atom bomb and the US Government didn't use them because it wanted to be mean to people. That's believable.
No, the idea is that in that era an untold number of talented people were barred from contributing to the US due to discriminatory roadblocks at every level in terms of access to education and so on.
Your sarcasm is hilariously misplaced because the person I cited was driven away by stubborn US officials only to become the leading light behind the Chinese nuclear program. All they had to do was leave him alone. So yes, what you are describing literally happened...
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.
There was one threat which was immediately removed by the moderators. Why is it your business to take down an entire site because one user on it broke the rules and was stopped by the site moderators?
People always pretend this shit is about "professionalism" or whatever while ignoring that if you have leftist political opinions you can run wild rubbing them in people's faces and nothing whatsoever will happen to you.
It's so utterly and transparently self-serving, it's disgusting.
It's scary to read the number of people responding to you with "actually, the solution IS to silence everyone who disagrees with me, we should do that as quickly as possible."
Especially the number of them who don't even seem to have read past your first sentence.
The fact that corporations can silence whoever they want doesn't change that silencing everyone who disagrees with you is a bad solution that won't work, sorry.
