Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I’m being repressed!

King Arthur: Bloody peasant!

Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, didn’t you?

Facebook and other software companies hire people who have computer programming degrees, and they don’t care about their skin color. Jesse Jackson is being an idiot.

It's funny when the diversity is the WRONG diversity, because Jackson can't outright say that.

And by "Asian," it's probably Indian.

Sounds like the same thing he tried on the banking industry. Extorting banks to give loans to high risk minority borrowers or face rallys & protests demonizing them The banks caved, underwrote bad loans to people who couldn’t pay them. The banking examiners went along and even encouraged it. It gave us a big housing bubble that popped and essentially destroyed our economy.

Someone needs to tell him to STFU.

I’d like to shake the hand of the CEO or company Pres who politely tells Jess that their company’s current racial make up is working out just fine and that outside influence/opinions are not needed.

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by.

“diversity is the WRONG diversity”

or like gripes from Black Commentators that baseball has too few blacks and needs more diversity.

Yeah, Major League Baseball, the sport that is packed with Hispanics.
