Listen. Anything goes these days! Some days I 'identify' as a Labrador Retriever. Why should that concern my Employer in the least? *SNORT* These idiot LibTards have twisted themselves into pretzels with all of this 'identity' BS.

Everybody should be faking Native American or Hispanic heritage.

It is the only way to stop the Affirmative Action scam once and for all...
