A few workplaces ago the company was hiring from a recruiter instructed with bringing only female or non white people. When I opposed that I was pointed to the actual UK law for positive discrimination which explicitly allow discrimination. I never had faith in society, but I had no idea we fell so low. I think most western countries are completely lost and will never get back. With woke activists controlling big tech, universities and the press, there is truly no hope for western countries. I moved to a country where society is a bit backward for modern standards and I'll look into moving again once they catch up with the modern world.

> I never had faith in society, but I had no idea we fell so low. I can see an argument that tolerating discrimination in the universe direction as part of a scheme to deal with the lasting impacts of a long history of discrimination against certain groups is flawed, inadequate, of incomplete progress compared to the period of discrimination. I can't see the argument that it is a fall, though, unless one views the preceding discrimination as a good thing in itself.
