IBM Apologizes For Racial Slurs On Its Recruitment Webpages (theregister.co.uk)
The Register: IBM has apologized after its recruitment webpages asked applicants whether their ethnicity was, among other options, the racial slurs Yellow and Mulatto. In online application forms for positions within the US tech giant, in among other questions ranging from military veteran status, and eligibility to work in America, a bizarre drop-down menu asked whether jobseekers were Caucasian, Black, or Indigenous, as well as the aforementioned insults. The Register was first alerted to the baffling error on Monday by an engineer who tried to apply for a technical role at IBM earlier this month, and was stunned by the slurs listed for a mandatory input field labeled: "Please state your ethnic group."
Seriously? How is either of those words a slur?
This SJW shit is getting out of hand ...
I have for generations been traumatized by racist individuals calling me 'white'. Just as it is racist to call someone yellow as opposed to the more inclusive term 'Asian American'. I can now insisit everyone call me an 'European-Asian American'. This term reflects the broad continental diversity of my conquering heritage. I have been victimized for decades by being called a blanco or alba or white individual.
Victimhood is the new nobility in Western society. In the past you were noble if you conquered others. Today you are noble if have been conquered or can trace your ancestry back to people that were subjugated. This is not a formulae for the continuance of the society
Get on the victimhood train today. It is a real growth sector.
"This SJW shit is getting out of hand ..." - You should probably cry more, I hear that solves hand-full-of-shit Republican faggot problems. Make a real show of your crybaby act, get attention. You're the real victim, Trumptard.
Quite. Isn't is funny how the left always touts togetherness and unity, but wants everyone to identify as what they are. "Blacks, stand up!" "Hispanics, made your voice heard!"
I've had enough of it. A recent high-profile non-hiring in the UK of a very qualified young man to the police service because he was not a homosexual, person of colour, or a muslim. He sued and won, but accepted work elsewhere. There is so much about the left and the right that smacks of the Nazi party or the Italian Fascists these days.
It's become difficult to say what you mean without a scathing, doxxing, life-ruining attack from the left. You will find yourself banned from Twitter, Facebook, and anywhere they can convince them to sideline you. And now, insurance companies are trolling the social media space to see if they can raise your rates, to find fault with your lifestyle, your colleagues, your personal time pursuits.
One of the American founding fathers, James Madison, said "If you aren’t free to think your own thoughts and believe your own beliefs, you aren’t free, period." The left has an issue with this because they want everyone to look different and act different, but to think identically--toeing the party line. There is zero room for dissent.

Well, they can do that or talk about all their new ideas where the government takes over and makes all our decisions for us so that our lives will be so much better. Green New Deal, anyone?
