Which is why independent journalism is such a despised creature.

No now-privileged minority in any position will be believed to have earned that position through merit, now or henceforward.

I consulted a black gynecologist 50 years ago in perfect confidence he was competent. I will trust no doctor now of any ethnicity unless he's at least 90 yrs. old and has an excellent ophthalmologist of his own.

Queens’ ad states that "applicant must self-identify as Black persons from Africa or from the African diaspora, or they must self-identify as First Nations, Inuit or Metis. Recognizing that identities can intersect, Black and Indigenous people who also identify as women, persons with disabilities and 2SLGBTQ+ are encouraged to apply.”

Wasn't Rachel Dolezal nearly crucified for doing this?

Thank you Chris, this garbage has got to end. Teachers have lost their way too.

This is why it has frustrated me for decades how the couch sitters rationalize their inaction on these things. When the Cultural Marxists were ginning up these victim narratives. The couch sitters dismiss it and tell themselves it will all go away. But I could see they were just being used as a building block.

As you point out, such ads are against the law in the US but the same result occurs here without explicitly saying this. Perhaps the Canadian approach is preferable in that there is no hypocrisy as to what the hiring university intends to do
