All
bold mine.
Like Archie Bunker refusing a blood transfusion from a black man, except that in Archie's case it was racism, and in this case it is Affirmative Action. I hope the kids appreciate it.
{Sarc}noted.
There's a good reason the city is hiring lifeguards that can't swim. Public pools are largely used by Latino and African-American kids, but most of the lifeguards are white and this creates a huge problem. "The kids in the pool are all either Hispanic or black or whatever, and every lifeguard is white and we don't like that," says a (n unnamed)Phoenix official quoted in the story.
I wonder where Hispanic (or was it Latino?) and Black "kids" learned that?
I wonder why such an "opinion" is
allowed to enter the "conversation"?
Am I to assume
(a unnamed)Phoenix official feeeeels that forced "diversity", as well as
assimilation, is BAD, if it doesn't promote....you know....the RIGHT folks?
She added that "the kids don't relate; there's language issues."
Don't know if it's actually what she said, or sloppy reportage/ editing, but THIS sort of put the "opinion" of
a (n unnamed)Phoenix official in perspective for me. While neither named nor identified here as elected (hopefully not) or appointed, it clearly doesn't matter. I'd like to see her CV/Resume.
If one were to examine the original SCOTUS referance to "Affirmative Action", I have no
problem recognising it's "
re-interpretation, through repeated mis/disingenous "usage", as codespeak, dog whistle, and further subsequent justification of racist bigotry against the demographic majority of (specifically) hetrosexual white male tax
payers.
"Conservitive" hetrosexual females, and any other like minded folk of demographic minority "status", seem to be consistantly denied "Affirmative Action" dog tags
in favor of an
apostates large red letter "A" (or Star of David for that matter) permanantly sewn to their outermost clothing.
Of COURSE it's "diversity" gone wild. Just like gun "control", domestic "violence", workplace "harassment", "Republican", or "Democrat".
Just wait two weeks until "Oh crap, I didn't mean for ME..." NIMBY "activists" make up new goal posts for the respective AP/ NBC/Executive Branch "style books". Diversity and Affirmative Action will be supplanted by some
Newspeak battlecry, equally ( even MORE "ironically") Orwellian.
Does
Affirmitive Action "promote"
Equality for a
Right to Choose based on
Disparate Impact?
No, really. Lifeguards, ...that can't?
It brings to mind an "appointed" public servant that ultimately sluffs off one of those theoretical
four-in-the-morning phone calls, and then gets bitchy and obtuse when their (and their immediate supervisor's) actual competance is called on the carpet for the real thing.
