identify as

That's a retarded way of saying "are".

And it's hardly surprising.

“We are all better when we benefit from the diverse perspectives of others.”

In more than thirty years as an engineer, I have only ever seen evidence that his statement is absolutely false.

Ten years ago, I would have said that cartoon is slightly exaggerated.

Today? It’s the official hiring policy of too many corporations.

How does this yoyo want the industry to attract more diverse talent, exactly?

Wrong question, my FRiend.

Better to ask "WHY is this yoyo so fired up about 'diversity'?" Is he trying to destroy the industry? Because 'diversity' is how you destroy an industry.

The builders who I hire (I’m a General Contractor) has mostly Americans on their workforce. A few Mexicans (legal, I demand that) and a few Canadians. If you ever try a fusion lunch of Mexican and Canadian foods, it’s different.🤓

On another thread, POF posted: Everybody keeps misspelling “Perversity.” There is no “D” in “Perversity.”

Since reading that, my mind tends to convert ‘diversity’ to ‘perversity’ in all these leftist comments calling for ‘diversity’.

That meme is about perfect! It certainly captures the essence of corporate America today.

One white dood writes the code and 99 others glum on and takes the credit.

They are trying and succeeding.

Women may have been societally and culturally discouraged from seeking certain lines of work in the past, but there was never government sponsored and coordinated efforts with money tied to them to encourage men and discourage women as there are now.

An overwhelming majority of individuals in the cybersecurity field identify as straight, white, and male,

Oh brother. Could it be because they ARE straight, white, and male?

How does somebody go through life worrying about that they "identify as"? What neurotics and no doubt perpetually miserable, sad, and unhappy people.

Correct ... EVERY “STEM” (I hate that term) “public service” (I hate that term) announcement, ad, or whatever is aimed at encouraging women and dark colored people, and discouraging men and light colored people. It’s not incompetence. It’s malice.

Yes...and there is money involved, your money and mine doing it, which makes it all the more egregious.

My wife wanted me to watch a production on Amazon Prime last night called “Julia” about Julia Child. I liked Julia Child, after all, the scene from Saturday Night Live with Dan Akryod playing her where he cuts his finger, is just...classic!

As it started, it was produced by CNN, which right off the bat made me very negative towards it.

Then, they started injecting politics and how much her father was a conservative-inflexible-a$$hole, and so on.

Interestingly, I had heard in recent years about her exploits with the French Resistance, blah blah blah, and as I watched, they talked about her time with OSS as a typist (OSS-the haven of Communist scumbags and the precursor to the CIA) but never mentioned her “time with the French Resistance” which means...it is a complete fiction that became Leftist propaganda for one of their heroes.

Anyway, near the end, they began injecting feminism into it, saying how women of her generation could never get into any fields, and I thought “Huh. Never head that kind of whining from the likes of Phyllis Schlafly, Golda Meir, or Margaret Thatcher.”

I have always believed that our cyber security teams need to be reflective of culture.

And they’re all earning the same paycheck (though the white dood is the one putting in 14-hour days and coming in on Saturday).
