It's a department at a company. You're not allowed to say that 'people of ethnicity X will never be given a leadership position'. That's blatant racism.

- ceejayoz 11y agoI'd argue the point is "don't stomp in and make it all about you".
- FireBeyond 11y agoNo, the point is "this isn't a place where the white folk will lead". "the white folk"? That's pretty close to "you people"/"those people".
- nwjtkjn 11y agoIt's not just any department, but a department that specifically deals with diversity and race issues.
- FireBeyond 11y agoDoesn't get it a free pass under discrimination law. How stupid can you be to post a "no white leadership", in writing?
- pkinsky 11y agoDo white-passing gay people not get to have a say in diversity issues? I really don't like this trend of painting everyone with white-ish skin as a homogenous oppressor class. It's pretty clear to me that a diversity department that explicitly bans white people from leadership positions will not represent my interests if I am discriminated against.
