Shorter Paxton: "The Trouble with Anything and Everything Is That They Didn't Only Hire White Men."

The Texas attorney general has opened an investigation into a key Boeing supplier that is already facing scrutiny from federal regulators over quality of parts that it provides to the aircraft maker.
...
Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit’s workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time
.

And there we have it: The "conservative" belief that everything went to hell when employers began hiring women to do more than type, take dictation and serve food and began hiring minorities to do more than mop floors and clean toilets.

I won't even go looking, but I will bet heavily that one can find, in less than a few minutes, so-called conservatives who blame the Baltimore bridge crash on the shipping company for not hiring white men as sailors.

Racism and sexism are the emotional blankets that keep pathetic white men warm when they're not drinking themselves into oblivion and ODing on Oxy.

Only on Fox would low-wattage commentators expect a ship operated by a Singaporean company and flagged there to have a crew of Anglo men.

What a pack of racist assholes.

Next time a fertilizer plant explodes and levels a town or any other town leveling event occurs in Texas, and it will happen because it's fucking Texas, the Maryland AG will request records from the plant to show mediocre white men were at fault.

This whole DEI thing is just another "hey look squirrel"!
Just like the CRT thing was another "hey look squirrel"!
And the immigrant criminal thing, "hey look squirrel"!

They want you to turn you head see the the squirrel and
not see the fat criminal guy.

The squirrel is cute but don't loose sight of the criminal
guys doing their thing.

That and the faux news guys only have the squirrels, mostly
in colors never seen before or since.


Eck!

Yuuuuup. I work with way too many good ole boy dumbasses who love to talk down about anyone who’s not like them, while almost invariably ignoring that Trump should not have been running a mall kiosk, let alone being a whole-ass president. If Donnie’s your guy, you obviously don’t have enough discernment to know who’s qualified for a job. “DEI” and “CRT” are just smoke screens for not feeling free to use the n-word, or other assorted slurs.
