Jerry Seinfeld's diversity "controversy"

[spittledip]

If you select the best people, you will not get such a great concentration of white males. It may not be an exact representation of American society, but such an extreme disparity is a reflection of privilege allowing lesser candidates to trump the best candidates.

This is not necessarily true. Depending on the candidate pool and the task in question, you might not get any white males at all. Or, you might just get all white males.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to determine if the people making the decisions are making the right decisions. However, it is ridiculous to suggest that selecting all white males is a clear indication that the best decision was not made. Race is not a factor for determining who the best candidates are. It works both ways my friend.

This is another issue and Seinfeld's racial secessionist experiences are extremely troubling. He needs access to social services to assimilate into America.

Well, I agree with this only if Jerry blew people off based upon differences from him. I kind of doubt that this is true though. Of course, we all discriminate unfairly at some level. It is human nature to look for similarities to be comfortable. This is something that we all need to overcome... at the very least diversity in relationships provides for richer life experience.

No no, you've misunderstood me. I actually think we should get rid of any remotely caste-system like artifacts in our culture. For instance, the fact that some people are given preferential hiring and college admission consideration based on their race and/or gender. Let's get rid of that immediately.



Actually a better comparison for white privilege is "The Evil Eye" are you familiar with it?



or the widespread belief in curses and witchcraft still to this day in sub-Saharan Africa. How people who haven't done anything to you are actually secretly ruining your life using mysterious, invisible forces. Holding you back, making things go wrong for you...

Sound familiar?

It should to you. That how you and a lot of brain defective conservatives see affirmative action.

Everyone forgets Louis C.K. is a born in Mexico Hispanic. They went boating together on an episode. That should count right?

They are a victim by choice.



The welding shops I worked at, they would hire just about anyone that was willing to work. Some of the best welders I have ever seen are black.



The problem is getting the younger generation motivated.

The younger generation has been taught by modern progressives that a dirty job is shameful and is a result of them being 'held back'. From a cultural perspective, it is less shameful to manipulate the most out of our handout system than it is to be a plumber, welder, or electrician. And that is a travesty.. But, it does create perfect lib modern progressive voters rather than a conservative working man.

He's just telling the jokes that American comedians don't want to.

I care. White male privilege is a social ill that needs to be dismantled, among other privileges.

America needs to be more than a mere land of opportunity, but a land of equal opportunity.

Equal opportunity? Like affirmative action?

Because that SURE is equal and not biased towards minorities at all!

I agree with the comedians on this, WHO CARES?
