> A big city in Belgium has publicly stated that if multiple applicants for a job have the same qualifications, they will chose the one from a minority group.
There needs to be some sort of tiebreaker in that case, what would you suggest? What's an equitable solution in that case?

So you want them to bend over for the group that don't like woke?

I'd sell my arm for a million for sure. That's about a third of what you need to retire. Saves me decades of slaving away at a job.

of course its not the same thing, but it's the same principle. Some people don't like woke because of the group it represents, some people do.

Those tough rugged conservatives really are just a bunch of snowflakes.

I assume Canada is like the USA where your economic superiors are above you in the legal hierarchy and that's why 1. the damages were so low against the supervisor, and 2. the supervisor isn't facing criminal charges

You mean the 'don't fight discrimination with more discrimination but just against other people' argument? I absolutely do.
I'm not denying there was and is discrimination. But that's no reason to openly discriminate against me because I am a white man.
*young man btw. It's not like I've built a career on discriminating others.

>Adding insult to this actual injury, when Osmani complained that he was having marital problems as a result, the supervisor advised: “I can help, bring by your wife.”"
The guy hit him hard enough to make him lose a testicle but it wasn't until he insulted his wife that he felt he had gone over the line?

Less attorney fees, I'm sure, but better than nothing. I hope this guy filed a workers' comp claim to cover medical bills, too, since it happened on the job.

It's the difference between someone selling you an arm for a million dollars or asking if you'd chop off your own arm for a million dollars. The value judgement changes dramatically.

Reply to comment by NerdHeaven in Yale honors Black girl, 9, wrongly reported to police over insect project by j3squared
Yes, honestly, he should. Because he called police about "a small black woman" and how he was "afraid." And he's a local politician, so there's a lot of pressure to respond. He painted her as a scary adult when she was clearly a child. He wanted her to be at the very least terrorized (for the crime of spraying stuff on trees???)
Despicable.

They're not the same thing. Being woke is not the same as being a terrorist group, and changing the name would be bending into rightist misappropriation of the word.

The "Fuck your feelings" crowd are, by far, the most emotional, easily enraged snowflakes you can imagine. Any issue they get pissed at is tiny compared to the stink they kick up about it.
