They do this crap because of racial discrimination lawsuits. It's all risk management - they don't give a rat's arse about any of this social justice crap.

Federal Courts are literally clogged with these frivolous discrimination lawsuits, and most cases are decided not by the trial theatrics you see on TV, but the pre-trial discovery and motion process.

They effectively have to demonstrate they aren't racist to prevail or at least avoid substantial litigation costs. So how do you demonstrate you aren't racist? You go 'woke', print some meaningless pamphlets, put a few token minorities in positions of authority (especially HR), hire a Chief Diversity Officer and force your employees to undergo sensitivity training.

When you are served with the inevitable racial discrimination lawsuit, you have an arsenal of documentation to defend against allegations of racial animus.

I honestly don't care what you want to be called. Whatever floats your boat. But I'm not remembering individual people's pronouns so I don't care what you put in your email signature.

I’m a big fan of pronouns
Since a lot of our back office and IT is in India.
I have no clue if they’re a man or woman

Large is a relative term. I know someone passed over for an inferior candidate, because they checked two boxes.

This was fifteen years ago, in one of this country's largest corporations (possibly the largest pharmaceutical company).

I used to laugh, and say thank God for Europe.

I've now realized this country exports everything.



I work for a large IB
It’s still basically all white men.
Except the quants
They’re Asians

If an important corporation, he'd have nothing, and have to sue.

He'd have some explaining to do, likely uncomfortable enough for those looking to hire him, to pass on his candidacy.

As I started packing my things, my manager began to crawfish. Saying “woah wait, I didn’t really mean that. You probably wouldn’t be terminated, but it will look bad on your record.” Little did they know, I already signed an offer letter on Monday with a new employer, and planned on turning in my notice tomorrow.

The black community as a whole just can’t help but make it nearly impossible to NOT dislike them. That issue isn’t exclusive to blacks either.

All I do is go to work and mind my own damned business, yet mainstream society constantly makes it out that people like myself are horrible people. I’ll admit, I’ve grown to have my views of many minority groups sour as I’ve entered my mid years.

And of the myriad of reasons to dislike blacks and gays, actual race and sexual orientation don’t even factor in.

I’ve also seen people with their pronouns in their email signatures recently.

I've seen this too a few times. You're getting called whatever the frick I call you based on the grammar I learned in school. If you have a problem, you can call the pronoun police.
