Diversity mantra pushes forward - message to all those who think this doesnt affect you - Businesses are now pushing the diversity mantra and this basically means if you are white (and esp male) and Christian you are going to be punished for your values. For those that dont think boycotting companies like this is a reason for change then you obviously support limited speech and our rights taken away from us.

DIVERSITY is the new evil.

You know I think we're approaching a time when the liberal legal community will legislate and reinterpret so many laws restricting how employers and workers can behave towards various minorities that corporations will severely reduce their numbers of corporate employees. All but the most essential people will have to become independent contractors who will have to sign lengthy agreements that explicitly state that their term of employment only lasts a certain number of months with options for renewal. These agreements will explictly state that the contract can be cancelled or not renewed without cause and for any reason.

Then if a gay person or a minority causes trouble and files legal complaints against the company or other workers, the company can get rid of that person who's filing complaints and limit the damage because he's an independent contractor with an explicit termination clause in his contract. Otherwise all this diversity garbage will eventually shut down productive business operations at many businesses.
