That’s all they can do
The thing is, very few of them actually believe the crap they spew. They think it endears them to their bosses, so they get the job security they can’t find elsewhere. And/Or they use it to cover up their own bias and prejudices.
Then they go home to their ethnically pure neighborhood “guilt free” to BS another day.
This is soooooooooo true. My hubby is a prof at a local college. Two master’s degrees and a PhD. He worked his ass off to get them. He was even dean at his last post in the UK.
When applying for jobs....he knew what bull$hit to spew. We would laugh until our sides hurt at the crap he would think they wanted to hear. That’s what it’s all about. Pretentious horse crap and playing it up.
He’s a lib....but I think he’s waking up.....God willing. :)
