Cesar Conde is the head of the newly formed NBC-Universal News Group. This organization combines NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC and all streaming news operations. Recently, via a video and memo, Conde announced to his employees that he had a goal of transforming the organization so that 50% of the employees would be women and 50% would be “people of color.” It is not clear from the memo exactly what definition of “women” Conde is using this week.
As it turns out, women (under the traditional definition) already constitute about half of the workforce, so the goals outlined by Conde are exclusively aimed at reducing the employment opportunities for Caucasians. What ever happened to the idea that has been extensively promoted by SJW’s that the workforce for large companies should reflect the population they serve?
According to the Census Bureau, 76% of the US population is Caucasian. According to Conde, 27% of his employee population are people of color. Conde noted that this is “better than most in our industry – but it is not good enough.” Conde has already met the SJW’s expectations. He has a larger percentage of people of color than is reflected in the population. Why is he vowing to discriminate against Caucasians?
If Conde had said that he was going to reduce the minority employment substantially below what is reflected in the population, the mobs would be outside his residence right now threatening to burn it to the ground. Will the SJW’s be enraged by this clear attempt at racial discrimination by Conde?
As Thomas Lifson notes,
There are plenty of Caucasians already working at the networks Conde supervises whose departures would not pain me: Joe Scarborough, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Rachel Maddow come to mind immediately. But I am against racial discrimination in all its ugly manifestations, so I am not urging their firing on any grounds other than competence and ratings.
I agree. Racial discrimination is ugly and disgusting regardless of who is on the receiving end. Perhaps, the SJW’s should start a #cancelNBC movement. I will bet that would get the attention of Conde’s bosses about the lunacy of what Conde is proposing.
