A recent survey revealed that 1 in 6 hiring managers had been told to avoid hiring members of a particular gender and race. Normally editorials and cable news hits would have been scheduled, politicians would have held hearings and the civil rights apparatus of every federal and state agency, including the Department of Labor, would have launched massive investigations.
But since the group being discriminated against were white men, civil rights professionals and the media gave each other a thumbs up and congratulated themselves on a job well done.
Even while academics, journalists and politicians went on blathering about the nonsensical notion of ‘systemic racism’ toward minorities in a country where white people pass themselves off as minorities for career advancement, educational attainment and business opportunities, the survey peeled back the real face of systemic racism.
52% of hiring managers believe that their workplace practices racial discrimination and 50% believe that they will be fired if they don’t go along with it by refusing to hire white men.
While the media pushed ridiculous stories claiming that highways, soap dispensers, and national parks were guilty of systemic racism, the revelation that more than half of the country’s hiring managers are practicing systemic hiring discrimination for fear of losing their jobs may just as well have been the wind blowing through a forgotten corner of a southwestern desert.
The exposure of the most pervasive systemic racism in generations was met with yawns.
Surveys are a dime a dozen, but at least a decade of different surveys from different firms all happen to point in the same direction. An Ernst & Young study from 2017 found that a third believed that white men were being overlooked. That same year a majority of white people answering an NPR survey said that they believed white people faced discrimination.
31% of that group described being discriminated against when applying for work, 19% had faced discrimination when it came to promotions, and 18% when applying for college.
While media elites sneered at such surveys and dismissed them by pointing to the number of white men at Fortune 500 companies, it was working class white men who were likeliest to believe in discrimination against whites. 65% of whites without college degrees believed that white people faced discrimination, as did 64% of those earning less than $50,000 a year.
The white people being discriminated against have the least wealth and power.
A Pew survey from 2018 found that 20% of those who reported racial discrimination at work were white. “White males are an undesirable classification currently in environments seeking the managed utopia of balance and ‘diversity,’” one worker said. “People with the same skills and experience, but different ethnicities, have different opportunities. A person formally classed as a minority will get preference over a white,” another stated.
What’s behind this systemic discrimination? Two three letter acronyms: ESG and DEI.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs fueled by Environmental, Social, and Corporate governance are the backbones of the new systemic racism. Racial discrimination at work of the kind described by so many workers and hiring managers has its roots in government, private equity and corporate programs from the Biden administration’s mandate that every agency develop an equity program, to mandatory diversity statements at universities, to ESG scores.
DEI is a fundamental part of ESG scores demanded by woke investment firms and governments. Implementing DEI programs in pursuit of ESG scores leads to systemic racism.
Take Google: the company with one of the highest ESG scores in the world. How does the ESG sausage get made? The Big Tech monopoly’s diversity report boasts that it “achieved our best year yet for hiring women globally, as well as black+ and latinx+ employees in the U.S.”
A lawsuit by a former Google recruiter, Arne Wilberg, cast light on how this is achieved.
Wilberg’s lawsuit appeared to provide documented evidence that Google had “implemented clear and irrefutable policies, memorialized in writing and consistently implemented in practice,
of systematically discriminating in favor of job applicants who are Hispanic, African American,or
female, and against Caucasian and Asian men.” For example, “the manager of YouTube’s
Tech Staffing Management Team, Allison Alogna, wrote an e-mail to the staffing team in which
she writes, ‘Hi Team: Please continue with L3 candidates in process and only accept new L3
candidates that are from historically underrepresented groups.’”
This is what DEI, ESG and employment discrimination looks like in the workplace. Had a major corporation been caught refusing to hire non-Asian minorities, there would have been a storm, multi-million dollar fines and a national conversation. But five years later documented evidence of employment discrimination against white and Asian employees by one of the biggest companies in the world have led to nothing. And that is all too typical of the double standard.
Compare that to a $20 million fine leveled against Walmart for using physical ability tests for grocery order filler positions and a $118 million Google settlement for underpaying women.
To paraphrase a long dead white man, “why does racism never prosper? If it prospers, none dare call it racism.” The only forms of bigotry we punish are those disapproved of by the state and that, by definition, means that they do not represent systemic racism. The only real systemic racism is that which the system and the state implement, but do not acknowledge.
Systemic racism is a form of bigotry that is approved and implemented by the state. The best way to spot it is by its pervasiveness and the lack of any government action against it.
White men and women are the only groups that can be safely discriminated against in hiring policies and promotions without investigations, million dollar fines or legal recourse. And they are therefore the ones who are most in need of workplace protections and civil rights action.
ESG ratings and DEI policies are the only forms of systemic racism still tolerated in the modern workplace. Eliminating them will require taking on the system even as it hides behind finding racism everywhere, from showers to sweatpants, except in its own ‘anti-racism’ policies.
The real systemic racism is backed by the system. And there’s no room for it in America.
Another good article by Daniel Greenfield. I’ll comment on this:
“DEI is a fundamental part of ESG scores demanded by woke investment firms and governments.”
BlackRock is now backing off of the term ESG, but they aren’t stopping their leftist activism. They are still doing it. People need alternatives.
Conservatives should have their own investments. For those who want a mutual fund that isn’t pushing ESG like BlackRock, Vanguard, or State Street, they should look up the Timothy Plan.
Their trying to end Farming in America make up dependent upon Gates and Plant Based Junk all over a totally fake crisis were looking to Soylent Green the Wildlands Project and the Buffalo Commons and Big Brother/UN
Farmers are just a bunch of oiks along with the rest of the people who actually do real work instead of writing bulls1te reports.
Oikophobia in action.
Yes. Your dollar word sounds wonderfully like Animal Farm.
Animal Farm, 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Sawyer, etc are removed from high school curricula.
Yet, these same drama-queen teachers scream “book burning” when parents insist that pornographic primers be expunged from 1st grade reading shelves.
If we were to reintroduce the New England Primer-circa 1777, liberal heads would explode. (The teaching of the alphabet uses scripture as tutorial examples 📜)
Our County of Siskiyou in Northern California on the Oregon Border is mostly Agricultural with some Logging and we hold a Farmers market on every Saturday from May to October
The woke government in Brussels is confiscating farmland to make room for religion-of-peace immigrants.
This jaw-dropping tyrannical theft of property in order to ship in 3rd world jihadists gets no coverage in the press.
Yes. Buying up farmland now being sold at depressed prices due to regulations making farming unprofitable in the U.S.
The Dutch punch way above their weight in producing food for the world. Their race in Africa (Boers) turned Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) and South Africa into hugely productive food exporters. The tiny, cold Netherlands are the second largest exporter of food on the planet! Huge Canada is way behind at 5th. The Boer’s African lands have been largely seized and redistributed to blacks who have not been able to cause the land to flourish and produce food. The remaining Boers are being systematically killed and plundered, even while their government implements programs to pay former land-owning farmers to work on their own farms under black ownership!
Look at what the EU is doing to Dutch farmers in the Netherlands! It is only a slightly kinder and gentler form or destruction.
Thanks KH! The Netherlands was a great power in the 1600s, one tidbit of history I eventually learned about 🙂
What’s going to happen is that qualified Whites are going to be replaced with less qualified people who check all the right boxes and who score higher on the DEI and the ESG scales. The whole workforce is going to be dumb downed like education has been over the past 50+. You can bet your sweet bippy that the Chinese are going down that road
What’s fascinating is that the demographic that hires blacks the least are blacks.
A responsible black guy running a small business can’t afford to hire shiftless, indifferent, or lethargic employees. He’ll zero in purely on merit as his ONLY hiring criteria.
Didn’t you mean “aren’t?” ‘Cause they aren’t going down that road, at all.
Well, they are being used to replace us. Over the past several years, the Chinese have been one of the largest illegal immigrant groups. They also make up a fair percentage of those being imported to push Americans out of professional positions. They will be just as willing as any other non-western group to write us out of our own history in the future.
I first noticed it in the late 1960s.
The trajectory is interesting. At first, I assumed it was a passing phase, a temporary thing, and eventually things would get better. Instead, in practice, in the real world, it got worse and worse.
You made the normal assumption of westernkind – a passing phase that could not sustain itself because merit is the foundation of civilization. You find the non-Christian, non-western presuppositions of non-westernkind to be illogical. Their logic is more primitive and emotional – but it is flawless, even as it is evil. The hyenas have found the wounded lion.
Western attitudes towards non-western peoples will not appreciate their largely hostile, war-like attitude towards us. We are not tribal. They are. We give up power in the name of [fill in the weasel word – love? equity? fairness?]. What people does that? It is insane!
We think humanity has evolved and will coexist peacefully and sing kumbaya as our people become extinct.
Thanks KH, excellent information!
Hopefully the latest Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action in college and university admissions is going to spill over into the workplace. IT IS LONG OVERDUE.
I got out of the corporate world in the 80s. It was way too bureaucratic and inefficient for me. It took forever to get things done. After that, I was self employed. But I know I got my first job out of college in the 70s because I was a woman. They were starting to rubber hose companies way back then through the EEOC. The men I worked with liked me because I was competent. But truthfully, I didn’t have the fire in my belly like they did. I should have never been there. I was bored stiff.
DEI and ESG will ruin America
It’s what they’re designed for.
I worked for state government for over 30 years, When applicants for a position were interviewed, the interview panel had to include at least one African American (in a state that is 7% black) and be at least 50% female (some panels were 100% female, and- big surprise! – chose only women). To promote the illusion of equity and fairness, all applicants were asked the exact same questions in the same order. On the last panel I was on, the unanimous choce was a white male. He gave the best responses, had the best evaluations and had more relevant job experience than any other applicant. When the selection was sent to the “personnel liaison” word came back “We can’t fill this position with a white male.” It was stated EXPLICITLY, The panel chairperson (a biracial female who later quit in disgust) was as appalled as anyone.
Furthermore, although the white, cisgender heterosexual male who passed over because he was a white male was practically political correctness cubed. I was sorely tempted to tell him why he was passed over, just to challenge his political correctness. The woman they promoted instead had been with the state for many years, but tellingly had never been promoted. I knew she was difficult to work with because I won a contest guessing the number of jelly beans in a jar and she accused me of taking them out and counting them (the “prize” was a $15 gift certificate to a restaurant I never go to). She was so difficult she was demoted within three months due to complete incompetence and because her staff collectively refused to work with her anymore. They then promoted yet another woman (BTW, she had a minor in “Women’s Studies”). They had previously fired two gay white males for allegedly sending each other e-mails with “gay banter” (they were not explicit). Then, because that failed the “smell test” (our director, an African American male, was known to be homophobic and he made Al Sharpton look like Stepin Fetchit) they fired two straight white males to cover their tracks. It turned out the woman who ultimately got the position had sent raunchy, explicit e-mails. They forced her supervisor to lie and claim she had been “counseled” (I know this because the supervisor admitted it to me). She was never even given a verbal reprimand.
All administered by a highly paid army of bureaucrats who consider themselves lean and efficient.
Wow that brings back so many memories …
… we went thru a re-org at our agency after an ignorant leftoid became governor …
… and one of my colleagues was re-org’d out of his job – even though he was the only expert we had in that field (air permitting gas fired compressor plants – and other related minutia) …
… only one problem – he was a white guy … (and the only one left in the air operating permit section after the re-org) …
… it took six weeks, and a collective of engineers, techs, legal staff to organize an entire ‘Office Space’ style conspiracy to return him to his job …
What’s sad is … he was so OCD/Autistic, he should have been counted as ‘disabled’ … and the experience upset him so much … he found a job with the dept of transportation and moved on …
you and yours have a great week!
University of NM’s DEI czar, Assata Zerai, Ph.D made $242,000 last year. For What?
A Muslim girl and her friend were in the university library when she claimed a male student from their math class ripped off her head scarf. An argument in a quiet library, AND NOT ONE VIRAL VIDEO when students are typing and ready with their phones on a moments notice and NOTHING?
DEI ZERAI investigation. NO POLICE REPORT FILED, (I checked.) Made news. Protests. Islamophobia. Then, POOF, nothing happened. No expulsion of a math student who these girls were now afraid of. No witnesses. Again, NO POLICE REPORT because doing so would mean a real investigation and that a FALSE POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.
After researching this, there were the same incidents all over the country. THIS WAS COORDINATED, A CONSPIRACY!
Zarai, a Black activist that you must research, wrote a long diatribe in support of BLACK LIVES MATTER. Her job title and job is automatically, ALL LIVES MATTER, right?
Now there’s a BLACK STUDENT UNION, SAFE SPACE, and plans for ALL BLACK DORMS. Segregation and Black’s Only from the people who honor Rosa Parks?
Charles Barkley give $5 million to his Alma Mater to aid BLACKS entry into that college after the SCOTUS ruling. What if a White player did the same for Whites? DIVERSITY? THE NBA NEEDS DIVERSITY AND TO PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH! “TOO MANY BLACK PLAYERS!” What would Barkley say to that? “If they’re qualified and can make the team, then they’re in regardless.” Isn’t that the SCOTUS ruling? Barkley, and so many others, are too brainwashed to realize that. Why? They’re Black Supremacists and it’s open season on Whites which is blatant racism!
The pendulum always swings both ways, the inevitable backswing will be bloody.
“A particular gender and race?:” Don’t yoi mean “a particular SEX snd race?:”
I had ten custom made t-shirts that state on the front “Affirmative Action Is Systemic Racism.” Another shirt states “I was born a white, hetero male. Please don’t hate me.”
Comprehensive discrimination against whites, and especially white men, has been going on since way before DEI and ESG were the wet dreams of the Left. And it ain’t just in blue collar jobs. It actually may be even less a factor there, where actual ability and knowledge of what you are doing is essential and measurable, than it is in white collar jobs, where it often isn’t.
In this corner…the American Constitutional system
In the other corner…elites bent on uprooting it, to preserve and expand their power. Their Bizarro version of a system turns every right and decency upside-down.
Wonder why things don’t work as well as they should, or you continually receive letters in the mail about “your personal data, has been breached.” It is because nearly all companies IT departments are run by affirmative action moron’s. My white adult Son with an MBA in technology is interviewed by people that would be his boss that are so fundamentally void of any knowledge, they can not even ask him the correct questions for the job interview. These people are advanced/promoted for their Sex or skin color. This is nearly 75% of the job interviews. This is why Twitter could get rid of 70% of their workforce and still function fine today. Most of those employee’s are dead weight. The problem is the real dead weight is at the top. It is the upper management that implements these discriminatory policies.
AT THE HEART OF AMERICA’S DIVISION are the two divisionist culprits: barack and michelle.
While no one can identify a single thing barack obama’s 8 year bankster regime did for black america, that hasn’t stopped them both from spewing their racism and divisionisM as they go off and enjoiy their life with the WHITE 1%
There is a stark realism that the WOKE FASCIST will never admit: blacks hate period. they hate whites, gays, jews, asians and when they have little to do on weekends, they go shoot each other.
So, people against America, whom I shall call PAA (sounds home-y, but it’s deadly) love acronyms.
While BDS defines foreign policy, DEI defines domestic policy. Six letters in evil context say it all.
Right now, America is bending to the PAA agenda.
America is bending, but not breaking – yet.
The PAA want America to break. They’ve been trying every which way to destroy the economic, social and moral foundations of America.
They want to break America into millions of little bits to be swept into the garbage bin of forgotten existence.
Poof.
I once read that 86% of people have neuroses. These people have their reasons for bending.
But what about the 14% of neurosis-free thinkers?
Is there a plan A here?
Or plan B, just in case?
How much more can the
USA take?
Will we continue to bend to the breaking point, God forbid, or miraculously bounce back with clear moral vengeance?
Wow! Sure seems to have taken a LONG time (years) for Front Page to figure this out! LOL!
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion = Diversity, Inequality, Exclusion
DEI = DIE
“dei” … Latin for ‘G-d’ or ‘god’ …
They will deny it … but it’s obviously a hat tip to their ‘god’ …
… and I don’t mean the multi-verse or G-d …
Some would call it a clue. Others would call it a tell.
I call it a Freudian slip …
😉
In the US military racism against white men is built into the system, or at least it was some 35 years ago.
Everyone knew that white men had to make far better scores on promotion test. And truthfully even that was not enough if quotas were not where the brass wanted them. It was common knowledge.
I want reparations for being a harmed white man.
Businesses that practice DEI should at least put a disclaimer in their hiring adds stating “No white men need apply”. It would be a courtesy to prevent white men from wasting their time and effort showing up in a pretend interview. The interviews also waste the time of business associates of the discriminatory company.
