he Rockettes braved the cold temperatures on Thanksgiving Day to perform in the Macy's parade as per tradition. In gold sequined outfits, 36 women took the New York City streets to perform a three-minute Christmas dance routine featuring high kicks, impeccable formation changes and precise dance moves. But an influx of fans online were unimpressed with the lineup from this year's Rockettes as some said the women lacked diversity in skin color.

Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) never sleep. Does these same people complain about the lack of diversity in the NBA? Perhaps if the Rockettes did hip hop and twerking that might attract a more diverse cast.

"...this year's Rockettes as some said the women lacked diversity in skin color."

And not just skin color: none are men, or transitioning. Worse yet, there are no disabled women - none with seeing-eye dogs, and none in wheelchairs.
This is a travesty.

So how come the SJWs are never offended by the lack of diversity in the NBA?

In this case, the SJWs are correct.

I saw the performance. There was a shocking lack of male Rockettes. And I didn't see any senior citizen Rockettes (age discrimination). And there were no little people Rockettes. I could go on and on.

I demand that the Rockettes be shut down, and be replaced by a squad of dancing Hillarys. I can't see how anyone would object to that.

Also a lack of diversity of body type.

Those bodies do not represent the diverse body shapes of the world!

Do these people set around crying there aren’t enough blacks?

The Rockettes aren’t a government agency. If black women don’t want to join, so be it. There are plenty of things blacks do where whites aren’t involved. I am okay with it.

I am in favor of liberal idiots suffering from white guilt offing themselves. They are tying up resources and opportunities a more diverse group could have. We would be better off without them.

If merit promotes blacks because of height, speed, etc. then merit is good, diversity is bad.

If merit does not promote blacks because of certain skills, then merit is bad and diversity is good.

Print this post and you will never be confused again.

When we were kids, we used to say, "Heads I win, tails, you lose", same thing different words.

That's exactly what they do. In Maoist China, they were called the "Red Guards" and they enforced Maoist ideals.

We call them SJWs but they are cut from the same cloth.

Perhaps Women of Color (WOC's) are not accomplished dancers. Some people have no natural rhythm, donchaknow?

I can just see it now: they go into their kickline, but because they hired two women of color who were OK, but not great cause the entire line to fall down in a heap.

I am so sick and tired of these constant complaints. Being a Rockette isn’t as glamorous as it looks. They do as many as five shows a day and make about $40,000 a year.

I heard there were ‘lack of diversity’ complaints after Beyonce’s superbowl halftime tribute to the Black Panthers.
