Normally I’d feel sorry for them but seeing as how it’s Minneapolis they probably were on board with this at one point. Maybe this will open their eyes. Stop appeasing these people
This is the natural and logical evolution to the entire "theory" of privilege. The next step is outright forbidding whites from being hired in the first place. After all, every position that's filled by a white person is a position that could have gone to a pee-oh-see instead. And white people are so privileged that they can easily get another job without any effort anyway (even though we made it illegal for them to even get hired).

This is de facto the case for normal white men in significantly sized organization and has been for at least 3 decades. Only nepotism and cronyism gets white men hired and promoted, never open hiring.
And only white men can ever get fired for cause. Everyone else can only get shuffled around or maybe "laid off" in a firing wave that also includes white men.

Or, as a small target, you just hire the best man for the job, taking advantage of the fact that that guy got rejected by the pozzed companies of the world.
Every decent software product in the world is held up by 6 guys anyways (if not 1..). You can have a lot of adjacent people and possibly even make use of. Point being, you don't need a lot if you can find a few.
The story is old, and I'm not sure why the source article only came out 2 days ago. The Star Tribune article ultimately sourced by Alpha News came out in early June.

Oh yay. Another factor causing the teacher shortage that everyone refuses to talk about. They'll never be able to get enough minority teachers to fill all the slots because in their quest to increase the standards for a teaching license they've increased the IQ requirements to pass the tests so much that there simply aren't enough minority teachers that can pass them.
Imagine that you have identified a massive achievement gap in education between white students and black students, and then you a adopted a policy ensuring that those black students will be taught by black teachers. Because redistributing those teacher salaries is more important than distributing white teachers’ competence and knowledge.
Not only did this Union negotiation end with the employer owning the right to fire senior, higher-paid employees for cheaper replacements at their discretion, they’re somehow notching it as a win too.
We'll see just as many laws and programs about that as we see for increasing male enrollment in college. It's only been 3 decades since women have over-represented in higher education, I'm sure there's a whole slew of mechanisms for addressing that in place now.
Could be. You can’t “fix” the past. I’m all for blind applications. Don’t show the name. Just base on merit. Ignore anyone who ants affirmative action or thinks that the employee has to be diverse.
I’m sure that would happen but so what. To put a positive spin on that you are forcing people to improve themselves. If I was tutoring a black kid in math the best thing I could do for them would be to not accept excuses. I mean that goes for anyone but you get what I’m saying
Oh yea. That stupid reporter in England complained about the team being all white…. In a majority white country. As a teen I watched womens college volleyball, but I can’t say my interest was purely sports related

Yes. 5 months ago. It was part of an agreement made to end a strike in late March.
Wait, how's that work exactly? They were allowed to get back to work if they agreed to be fired based on race? Ooof.

The funny thing is everyone hurt by this will be a die hard lefty.
The sad thing is none of them will learn from it.

Hard to believe the white teachers pay union dues to this org.
Pretty much digging their own career grave. I'm not going to have much sympathy when they start wailing and moaning.
Those idiots most likely voted for exactly that - their own economic demise. Time to pay up cuckheads!

No.
Twenty years from now you will see laws restricting the number of white people allowed outside in a group to two.
Assuming we haven't been loaded on the trains by that point.
laughs in Rhodesian Never again, mukka.
Make short shorts great again

Yet all of the female boosting programs and scholarships remain in place.
Let's check in on the beautiful rainbow nation of South Africa to see what the future holds... uh oh.

They tried blind applications but immediately reversed course when they found that even less minorities were being selected lmao

Well yeah I agree. I'm just saying what actually happened.
I believe you. Just irritates me how they think.
Old and busted: Tell applicants not to submit a picture with CV in order to reduce discrimination
New hotness: Require applicants to submit a picture with CV in order to discriminate
True. Which is stupid but you are right. Funny thing is that sports go on merit and that doesn’t seem to be an issue
Oh yea. That stupid reporter in England complained about the team being all white…. In a majority white country. As a teen I watched womens college volleyball, but I can’t say my interest was purely sports related
Also when I was 12 and 13 my older sister was in high school and played volleyball. My dad asked me once why I went to all her games. Lol.
White men and Asians from the not-so-street-shitting variety.
