Somewhere, "1984" author George Orwell is smiling. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. And on MSNBC this morning: discrimination creates a "level playing field."
On Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's Way Too Early, host Ali Vitali invited Lauren Leader to discuss the vote by Apple shareholders not to abandon the company's DEI programs.
[snip]
Leader went Orwellian when at the end of the segment she said:
"Diversity is what this country was built on. And most Americans do understand that it should be a level playing field for all."

The thinking goes, that because Bill Gates is a billionaire, all other whites need to be discriminated against to balance the books.
I own Apple stock and no one asked me to vote on DEI. If they say it was on the proxy ballot, I never got one.
Someone needs to read Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” and not treat it as an instructional guide.
Tranny on the right.
America was built on hard work, insight, desire for freedom and dreams. It was diverse as far as most colonial residents were of European descent.
To have a level field is NOT the same as ‘leveling the players’ - what the bimbo wants is for some players to be knee capped and others to be allowed to use knives on players they don’t like.
Newspeak translation = Establishing equitable conditions.
“Diversity is what this country was built on.”
Only if diversity is another name for God, Guns, and Guts.
It’s true, though, at least in the Ideal Socialist World. DEI means equality of results. So a hard-working competent person must get the same results as a barely-putting-out-effort person with far less skill. The poor worker coasts on the work of the good worker, at least until the good worker catches on to the scam. Then they both suffer in mediocre failure.
Oh, except the competent worker finds ways to work and get paid off the books. Welcome to the Soviet Union.
in liberal minds this makes since because liberals are KKK racists that believe that blacks are as a race inferior. So the only way to fix the inequalities that will result from their races inferiority is to practice DEI, race quotas and other forms of reverse discrimination to somewhat balance the field.
didn’t some Olympic skater try that qwap on another Olympic skater but found out that won’t fly?
DEI is the same as boys playing girl’s sports. Completely unfair. Whites and Asians are on the bottom of the DEI checklist for hiring and promotion. Not an even playing field.
I did vote against it by proxy, against the directors’ wishes. Many just click to approve all of the directors’ recommendations so it’s hard to change things.
Orwell would not be smiling. He was warning us. Goebells would be smiling.
I always go down the ballot because the things that matter are always last on the list.
It was a mocking smile. :-)
