I'm tired of them pretending we don't know what they mean with "DEI hires." I'm also tired of nobody in power calling this out.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

DEI hire is basically just the socially acceptable combination of all derogatory racial terms rolled into one at this point.

A terminological “Swiss Army N-Word”.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

There's always a new dog whistle n-word from these fucks. Thugs was a popular one for a while. The absolute disdain with which they used the word, and only for coloured people... Was so gross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

It's so obvious. They never said or will ever say that line ever about a white guy.

Best I can give him is that she got the job at least partially because she's a black woman. Putting a black woman in SCOTUS was a campaign promise. One made early enough that I doubt he had Jackson already in mind when he made it. She's presumably the most qualified black woman his admin could find, if not the most qualified candidate overall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

The uncomfortable truth is that you can be both qualified and a DEI hire. A lot of jobs are competitive and have multiple excellent candidates. 🤷‍♂️

For some hiring managers it is absolutely a bonus to add to the office diversity mix. You get a qualified candidate and you get to feel or look good for having a diverse team.

Of course for other hiring managers, the diversity candidate gets the short end of the stick because (insert excuse here) blah blah culture fit.

I don't know how Twitter works, I've never used it. Does Charlie definitely see these responses? Or, does he likely have someone managing his social media accounts for him?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

It doesn't really matter if he sees them, he already knows he is a disingenuous twat. The reality is his followers will see only the tweet as they scroll on by and this response will be somewhere under the fold mixed in with all the bots and simpletons circle jerking about how "true" this tweet is.

This is why these Twitter gotchas don't mean anything. Yelling into the void doesn't break into other people's media bubble it just tells the algorithms that this tweet is getting engagement and should be bumped up.

Because its always appropriate to remind the world what these cretins look like without filters:

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is that real? I can't tell.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh fuck it's real.

Now, for the first time in over a decade of marriage, I have to erase an image from my phone that I really don't want to have to potentially explain.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He looks like he wants cheese

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He looks like he ~~wants~~ excretes cheese.

Some lovely Wensleydale

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lmao, thanks for taking the hit. Those gums are nuts. What a weird looking dude.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I'm conscious about my gummy smile 😩

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

You keep rocking your smile. I'm sure most people would rather share a beer with you than people who has to resort to bodyshaming.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude looks like he's from little nightmares trying to throw me in a stew

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck man this is hilarious. I just want to share with everyone but I don't know anyone who would get it so instead I'm just gonna sit here chuckling to myself about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Lmao I appreciate it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Wouldn’t take much work on the hair to get Butthead.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Gross dude, put it away

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As much as its fun to make fun of evil people, doing so by using looks ultimately harms genuinely good folk that share physical traits

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Lmao the guy has lowercase teeth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I have no idea why anyone would downvote you, because you're absolutely right.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Beavis looks pretty good as a woman!

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 day ago

Michelle Obama has degrees from both Princeton and Harvard and the regressives spent 8 years squawking about nothing but how “manly” her arms looked.

Conservatism is a mental illness these people are grifting off of

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Talk about a precision strike, RIP.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hoping that P means pieces and not peace. He don't deserve peace

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It actually stands for piss 😌

How respectful of him to spell her name correctly /s

What's wrong with his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE??

I fucking despise racism. In no place on earth is it valid, required, or useful.

You can’t choose the colour or race you’re born, but once you’re born you can certainly choose not to be a worthless racist spouting off bullshit.

At no point in anyone’s life did they choose to be a certain colour of skin or ethnicity. At some point though they chose bigotry and hatred.

Charlie Kirk is a diversity hire because Turning Point USA needed someone with a tiny face and an otherwise normal head

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not really a cosplayer. With cosplay you pretend to be something you’re not

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Do you think Kirk actually believes any of the nonsense he spouts? He's just a dickhead shit-stirrer for money and it's baffling to me that he gets any attention at all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

DEI does exist in some places but the reason it exists in the first place is wild when you think about it.

"Hey it looks like we are 95% more likely to reject black people over white people and it's causing trouble.

with this stupid quota that wouldn't have to exist if we just didn't hire the scum of the earth for HR and recruiting positions, we offset that percentage to a whopping 60% so let's go team."

And then people go protest black people getting jobs while quota thing continues.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah and there are better tactics but they're hard. I've heard of orchestras having auditioners be given a number, have to take off their shoes, and play from behind a curtain. It eliminates any risk of race or gender being involved in the decision. It's just hard to scale that to other stuff

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

there's always a sick burn on twitter, for every nazi bullshit post

but here we still are

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

If that child could step down from pretending to be a man, he'd be a credit to his team.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a diversity hire. Everyone else in my department has degrees and the others on my team are geniuses in their fields. I'm just some dumb fuckhead who's always excited to learn something new and I'm passionate about supporting public education.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

But Uncle Tom(as) is ok? What a hypocrite.
