I’m reminded of the old Sanford and Son TV series in which Red Fox (Sanford) goes to a dentist, sees it is a black dentist, then demands a white dentist because he believes the black dentist got his position only because of race and not qualifications.

“Great idea. Who needs qualified engineers, scientists and doctors!? Just remember, that new bridge was designed by someone who was passed in classes so the left could feel good.”

************************************************************

Well. Whitey getting killed when that new bridge falls could be looked at as liberals feeling better about themselves. Better yet, force good white liberals to be “volunteers” to “test” the designs (yes, I like that).

For new grad engineers, at this point I am more likely to hire a candidate who has either gone through a co-op program or gone to night classes and working as a technician, designer, or construction craft. The latter is the route I took, and is not easy. But such a route means a lot of practical experience. Still, the zampolits in HR still will only consider those who finished the degree in the standard 4 years, and no practical experience outside SJW activist crap.

Affirmative action has already given us a plethora of them.

which means that 2+2 = 5 (or the like) is now acceptable on a test ...

I always wanted to be a theoretical physicist, $89 bucks seems quite reasonable.

Female engineering firm. Apparently “diversity” i.e. math class is tough, just like planting crops according to mini-Mike Bloomberg is easy.

There was an independent investigation by *real* structural engineers, damning would be far too mild a phrase for what they found.

This will end well. People will love it when bridge fails, planes fall out of the sky, that sort of thing. Reality is a cruel b****, doesn’t care about all this intersectionality happy horse apples.

You've read Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons" (basis for the movie Idiocracy, right? There were a very few smart people who essentially were slaves for the stupid masses, the ones who kept things actually operating. Of course, these few were working on PopProb, it is much darker story than the movie.

Just say you are black, and you’ll likely get it for free.

The guilt for Britain’s colonial past is rampant, ludicrous given that the present generation of adults in Britain were not alive during the colonial era and consequently bear no personal causal responsibility, they accept such foolishness. Historic justice has been the rally cry of every fascist movement in the modern era.

But we never seem to learn to reserve the light of freedom , opting instead to accept the yoke of fascism at every turn.Soon there will be war and blood.

I laugh at those who engage in it. And most of my relatives hate me for laughing at them, because they know I hold a real undergraduate Sociology degree specializing in minority and ethnic relations, with a minor in History, along withextensive cross cultural field work in Ethiopia and Kenya.They can’t make the accusation of “racist” stick.Then I went on for a Law Degree and later a Masters in teaching English to racial and ethnic minorities ( MA-TESL). No one. lowered academic standards for me, I had to work for every stitch of it.

Today, people do not study History, or even Sociology properly.

They are indoctrinated.

And the result of jingoistic liberal fascist/leftist indoctrination instead of education is the lowering of academic standards at one of the worlds best Universities, no longer so.

What a joke!

Sounds like racism to me.
Guess in the future when you see a black in a management position you’ll always wonder if this clown got there as a result of being black or by earning said position.

Affirmative Action is confirmation that liberals think blacks are inferior. Doesn't get much more racist than that.

Imagine being black and some antifa twink is white'splaining to you that they are your savior and know better than you and talking down to you how you should live your life. Damned right it's insulting.

There's a reason #WalkAway is still occurring, even amidst, or in many cases, as a result of, the riots.
