Aside from the subliminal text, the Artan bleach blond dressed in black and red is a vivid signal also. Surprised the Obligatory Cross Necklace isnt present.
Reminder that "merit" is a synonym for "supremacy"
Please stop that nonsense
Just because they abuse the crap out of a valid point doesn't mean the point is bad
If you go to a doctor, you do that merit based. When hiring a nuclear inspector (or a garbage collector, for that matter) you shouldn't care about skin color, sexual orientation, gender expression, religious beliefs, height, age, etc... the only thing that should matter is merit. Is the person capable of performing these duties? Yes? You're hired.
Skipping that for whatever reason is a really bad idea.
So yeah, these asshats are abusing the point just to discriminate, that doesn't make the point itself bad
What nonsense? Look it up in a thesaurus.
Yes, people want skilled professionals. Who says they shouldn't? They should also care about a system that favors a dominant class largely because of historic access to (stolen) capital. After all, that would reduce competition and competency.
What's being implied by bringing up "merit" as antithetical to DEI is that you can't trust people outside of the dominant class to do the work competently. If that were the case, the problem is not DEI, it's upstream: fair access to education and opportunities, but I don't hear DEI opponents crying about that.
That's all fine and dandy if the system treats everyone fairly from birth and we know that is just not the case.
Yeah when the right-wingers say it, Need to make that distinction
I see that she’s female-presenting and white, but I guess the point is that she’s incompetent. If so, what’s the context? /c/OutOfTheLoop
nothing to do with her as a person but with the text behind her
Isn't she the 27 year old married to a billionaire 32 years older than her that couldn't spell her job title? Maybe a bit about her as well
If you look past the intentionally distracting spokeswomen, you'll note the ironically cropped sign.
Ah! Got it. Thanks! Brutal. And true.
She's got great personality.
Edit: don't shoot the messenger please
Read the words behind her
Ewww.. I'd have to say Huckabee had more spunk and Spicey had more rizz.
The Huck slammed down on journalists without so much as a smudge of her eyeliner. Peerless. Psaki could maneuver around any line of questioning without floundering. Silver medal.
The rest have all been hot messes not worth ranking for third.
Ah taking hiring lessons from bill Clinton...
Did he hire show pony nazis too?
