Why sacrifice when you have the kind of money they have that they never earned. Reminds me of an old episode of CARTER COUNTRY. The black Sargeant pressured the Chief to hire a black cop. He finally hired him then had to fire him for incompetence later in the episode. The cop said “You’re just firing me ‘cause I’m black.”
The Chief responded, “No. I HIRED you ‘cause you’re black. I’m firing you ‘cause you’re a lousy cop.” I doubt that could be made today.
You are right, it couldn’t be made today.
I never heard of that show and just googled it:
from the late 70s.
This show, whatever else it was, was ahead of its time
just in that one verbal exchange.
It couldn’t be made today, because it would resonate a little too loudly with our current situation of the tail of PC arching back to bite the head of Affirmative Action; this is the element we have lived in for so long we hardly even see it anymore-—we are completely inured to it.
