Just because they have different skin doesn’t mean they think differently. JC

How exactly is one “diverse.” What a moronic use of that word. What they mean is “someone who isn’t white,” but the only way the can say what they mean without being explicit about it is by saying retarded shite like “we want someone diverse.” What a bunch of small thinking, virtue signaling, racist cucks.

What if one of the white males is gay or identifies as a dolphin or something?

Is that enough diversity?

No, it's about putting people in places based on appearance and not on skills.

Hell just identify as female. If they try to make issue of it call them transphobic or whatever.

This type of stuff is going on pretty strong right now in my company. They don't come out and set rules and apply consequences, but it seems like they are hiring women 4:1 in an industry that has been mostly males.

Not sure if y'all noticed this... but reasonably good chance this guy taught the beacon of idiocy that goes by Alexandria Ocasio something something.

Welp, looks like Goldman just lost a shot ton of business to file an IPO.

If I had some Rockstar gigantic company about go public, I'd put in place an all white male board just for the hell of it to say frick em, then take my shite to Stratton Oakmont...

Cue to a new business model to provide token “diverse” directors for hire to companies that want Goldman Sachs to handle their IPOs. Goldman Sachs would probably help finance it.
