No, it's racism by actual standards.
By leftist standards there's no such thing as racism against white people so you can discriminate against them all you want.
According to progressives on reddit it is important that in every job or institution to be an exact replica of the US population, not even local state population. And is not racist cause while you do discriminate against whites, asians or men, you are in fact applying a rule in a neutral manner equally. So according to their own standards this would be racism.
Nah, that's old talking points.
You've got to remember that they don't care about being consistent or logical.
They're just saying whatever they think will get them what they want in the moment.
The moment you point out media where straight/white/men are underrepresented, like British television or a media company where the entire leadership are women or shows that have lgbt representation several times their portion of the population, the argument completely changes. They completely discard the "equal/fair" representation model and start arguing that it's good for minority populations to be over-represented and straight/white/men to be underrepresented.
You will never get one of them to argue that white people need more representation in something. And they really do believe that there's no such thing as racism against white people, or sexism against men.
I think Sweden had something like this where they had 50/50 quotas in education or something and the second it started benefiting men they removed it.
Oh yeah, higher education in the US is now heavily biased towards women.
If those idiot progressives had any ideological consistency they should be calling out the institutional sexism and calling for changes to help men. Instead they're still pushing for women to get even more preferential treatment in higher education.
Yep, that sounds like female leadership.
