This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think this event marks a pivot by shillelaghhugger
Outside of a few race hustlers and other grifters, it looks like most normal humans recognize we have a problem here. I’m surprised to see so many now openly talking about the overreach of DEI programs. Companies previously worshipping at that altar are now dumping entire departments or at least letting the die on the vine.
It’s funny how America works- we always have to grab the rope and pull so damn hard in one direction. Of course, many institutions and companies alike benefit from a diverse hiring strategy. There are limitations to those strategies and some homogeneity can be useful at times and for certain ventures. But no, we had to take it to the extreme. We may overreact here and go back the other direction too far.
