Adidas Promises to Hire Black, Latino People for 30% of New U.S. Jobs
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 9, 2020 | Khadeeja Safdar

Adidas AG said it is increasing the number of black employees and investing $20 million in black communities after some U.S. employees complained the company was profiting off black culture without doing enough to help them.

The sportswear giant said a minimum of 30% of all new positions in the U.S. at Adidas and Reebok will be filled with black and Latino people and that it would finance 50 university scholarships for black students each year over five years.

It is behind a paywall but I heard Tucker Carlson talk about this last night. Think about going to a job and being told you are white and cannot apply!

And if Latinos and blacks are mentioned, women and homosexuals are likely next.

30%?

Not enough. It won’t satisfy the hordes.

They should build new factories near the desparate cities so the workers can get to them. Hire people to sell sneakers or make them? Sound like a bundle of BS, if they are being manufactured in China and sold here.

racist racist racist!
try to get a government job, they have racist hiring quotas so it doesn’t matter how good you are
try to get a teaching job, they have racist hiring goals so it doesn’t matter how good you are
try to get a grant or scholarship, they reserve much of the money on strict racist criteria so it doesn’t matter how good (or needful) you are

this is a racist country nowadays, through and through, and it STINKS to High Heaven, and if black people feel that they are increasingly resented or hated (alas, a terrible consequence!) — they need only look as far as “affirmative action” and all the other racist policies in USA

All things being equal is rather they hire some brown Americans rather than shipping their factories over to China and using child slave labor. Maybe blacks will commit less crimes if they have a real job.

What’s their definition of black?
If someone’s 25% black, do they get a scholarship?

No. They need to fire all their white employees.

Hmmm... given you are not allowed to discriminate in hiring by race, wouldn’t this announcement be illegal?

Unconstitutional. Discriminating on the basis of race and ethnicity. Notice that Asians are not mentioned. Too successful.

I didn’t want to get that radical unless there was some support. So. Yes. Fire them blue eyed crackers, put guards on the store entrances to keep ‘em out.

Remaining white employees will need to work at least 30% harder — when not attending mandatory mental hygiene classes.

They are going to hire mostly non-USAians again. More illegal immigrants.

As for hiring black people, I'd said about 60% of them will be Islamic immigrants from around the world. It ain't about USA black people.
