>>BUT - she does seem to be partnered with a man of darker color - black or Spanish? So, she’s got that going for her ..... How about that.

Waitress at Monk’s, handing Elaine a menu: “Here you go.”
Elaine, to the black waitress: “Long day?”
Waitress: “Yeah, I just worked a triple shift.”
Elaine: “I hear ya, Sister.”
Waitress: “Sister?”
Elaine, as Darryl comes into Monk’s: “Yeah. It’s OK. My boyfriend’s black.
Here he is. See?”
Darryl: “Hi, Elaine.”
Elaine: “Hey.”
Waitress: “He’s black?”
Elaine: “Yeah.”
Darryl: “I’m black?”
Elaine: “Aren’t you?”
Waitress, leaving: “I’ll give you a couple minutes to decide.”
Darryl: “What are you talking about?”
Elaine: “You’re black. You said we were an interracial couple.”
Darryl: “We are. Because you’re Hispanic.”
Elaine: “I am?”
Darryl: “Aren’t you?”
Elaine: “No. Why would you think that?”
Darryl: “Your name’s Benes, your hair, and you kept taking me to those
Spanish restaurants.”
Elaine: “That’s because I thought you were black.”
Darryl: “Why would you take me to a Spanish restaurant because I’m black?”
Elaine: “I don’t think we should be talking about this.”
Darryl: “So, what are you?”
Elaine: “I’m white.”
Darryl: “So, we’re just a couple of white people?”
Elaine: “I guess.”
Darryl: “Oh.”
Elaine: “Yeah. So do you want to go to the Gap?”
Darryl, leaving with Elaine: “Sure.”

does she make the same demands about crew members with different hair color or eye color that she makes about crew members’ skin pigment?

Either all of it matters or none of it matters.

Unattractive on-shot ponies should learn to shut their mouths.

I don’t suppose that she ever considered that the crew is the best that the network could hire, or that perhaps, “POCs” didn’t apply for the available positions.

Proponents of contrived diversity are simply racist.

This photo needs a short person (under 5 feet tall), a transexual male-to-female, a transexual female-to-male, a tall person (over 6'4"), an obese person (50% of Americans are said to be obese), shall we go on?

>>I think it must be an internet fashion site, a play on “pret a porter”, which means ready to wear fashion.

>And only those in the know were aware of the VIP Preview. Weird that they're not all about equality...

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

C. S. Lewis

Bingo. Makes me want to puke.

What is laughable is that they don’t see that it puts them in this light.
