Or could hire highly contributing non white member to team?


To appease retards?

Limiting your pool of applicants is a great way to destroying a company.

maybe he did.

he also was broke as frick. worked 2 jobs around the clock. wasn’t handed a dime. fought in WWI. had a measly farm to feed his family on a red dirt hill. and raised 5 kids in a dirt shack in backwoods on a piece of property he spent his life’s savings on.

He also never made any excuses or blamed anyone for his situation. just owned it, grinded, kept his nose clean, and provided his children more than what he had. you know… living that white privilege life and all.

yeah no, i want my doctors, pilots and lawyers to actually be good at their job regardless of what they look like.


My pops, who I haven't talked to in years, had a black dr come in his room at the VA. Pops promptly told him to go fetch a whitey. Black Dr says "so you're a racist" to which pops says "no I'm a separatist". Black Dr says "okay I'll go find myself a n****r patient" and walked out of the room.

I say again, I haven't talked to my dad in years. He's in his early 70s and I know others that wouldn't hire a black attorney, dr, etc. Never heard of a black person refusing to hire a whitey. So these people exist, just not in the way the article suggests.

Ok cool. Just tell them, "We'll hire some diversity candidates without regard for their merit and assign them to your account since it's so important to you. Oh, what's that? You want the best attorneys to represent you? Maybe you should stay in your lane."

It’s not like there’s some enormous pool of immensely talented minority attorneys in Baton Rouge who are being overlooked by Kean Miller or Breazeale simply because of their race.

And when these demanding clients start losing all their cases to less diverse law firms, what happens?

Law firms dominated by highly qualified, experienced, successful lawyers will have no problem attracting clients.

I’m picking the best lawyer I can afford and will give zero fricks about the gender, race, sexual orientation of the lawyer and the other lawyers in the office.

This is undoubtedly true, but why do minorities allow it? Who wants to work their tail off to be seen as a forced hire even if they weren't? Now all minority employees in higher level jobs will forever have an asterisk by their names.

This would infuriate me if I were a highly talented minority. It strips the success of qualified hires because people will always question how they got the job. Seems to be setting people back, not integrating them in a meaningful way.

Sounds really unprofessional. Been called all kinds of nasty shite in my line of work but never stooped to their level. Also never was a bitter bitch about it.

edit: 4 downvotes and yet not a single challenge. Must be because i'm not white.

Picking a team of lawyers is like picking a basketball team. You’re gonna go with the guys that always win.

The slow march through the institutions continues. Legal, medical, environmental, academia, creative, and financial. This isn't stopping any time soon, in fact it will increase. As each new generation comes out of college, ready to continue their march into the professional class fully indoctrinated. This is big business and an ideological take over.


The OT lefties will try to convince you none of this is happening. And any cited examples are just a few small fringe folk, nothing to get triggered about.
