Go take that up with Haaretz.
I don't have to. I know of at least two Christians in my circle who have converted to Judaism within the last 10 years. One of them is very Irish. Did his DNA change when he became Jewish? Did Ivanka Trump's DNA change when she converted to Judaism after marrying her husband?

I could be wrong, but I thought there were some diseases that mostly only affected Jewish people

Rose said that ESPN had asked a lot from Black employees over the past year, but that he and other Black employees would extend their credibility to the company no longer.

How does ESPN have a crappy record on diversity? I rarely ever tune in but just from watching occasionally it’s almost all black dudes and women.
Any white people is too many.

No. And if I were a Jew, I couldn't become white by converting to Christianity.
A Jewish person can become a Christian but not white.
A Christian can become a Jewish person by religion, but not ethnicity. Since they would factually be Jewish, are you not confirming it's a religion?

Rachel Nichols is perfectly fine with forced diversity so long as it doesn't interfere with her career. That's essentially what she said in this leaked audio.
That’s the standard progressive/woke stance.

I'm confused by the claim earlier in the thread. Specifically when RN claimed there were a lot of Trumpy people standing in the way of her advancement.
Firstly that's a weird claim to make about the ESPN/Disney behemoth. Their messaging seems to pretty consistently be left of center and often far enough left to anger conservatives (and some moderates).
In that vein female reporters and hosts have been given a lot of visibility and high paying jobs even though an obsession with sports (which should relate to an interest in the job) is heavily male. This isn't controversial stuff. We know men play, watch, talk about, and post on the internet about sports much much more than women.
This just reeks of opportunism by all parties. There are million dollar jobs at stake but no one is honest enough to just say they want the job or are just better at the job.

This is hilarious because Rachel Nichols is a Woke, SJW always promoting far left nonsense. Now she’s mad that the Woke nonsense she (claims) to support is affecting her lol.
This is just like all of the liberal scum who flee Democrat states to seek refuge in red states, yet still choose to vote blue. These people are CLOWNS. Hypocritical, self righteous trash.

I don't understand how ESPN can be feeling the pressure on minority hiring when they have Black employees all over the place, analysts galore as well as regular news anchors. Them and CNN have Black employees galore, so, this is all BS to me. I'm a minority myself, Spanish to be exact, but I'm calling BS on this and that these movements, me too, BLM, and others have just gone too far.

Rush Limbaugh was fired from ESPN for such as this.

Damn they are killing her on Twitter, welp she was always “ woke” take your medicine now
While I’m incredibly anti-woke, I hope this is an eye opener for people to all the world what these woke public figures actually think.
I’m going to scream all the live long day about oppression and inequality but when it threatens my bottom dollar, IDGAF.
I don’t hate Nichols at all and get her frustration but it was an incredibly tone deaf, even behind supposed closed doors.

Why did Rachel get her gig? Asking for a friend.

That not-so-distant sound you hear is the pendulum starting to swing back now that this shite is affecting non-fringe people.
We'll see how much longer the engineers, accountants, and others burdening a massive amount of the tax burden keep voting for this once it costs them jobs and promotions.
I hope to God that this plays out in the way you described. The problem is a numbers game. The leftist leeches will vastly outweigh the producers. Then what? There pendulum will not be able to swing back. My fear is in the numbers.
