    Are you sure that's not the Barbie catalogue?

    The Huffington Post isn't any different

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Strange definition of “isn’t any different”.

    :D I was going with the diversity angle, that fact that Fox hires better looking women is a whole different topic :pac:

    I got that it was about diversity, but I’m confused as to why you think the second isnt more diverse.
    Fox crew look like clones. The other group, blonde, brunette, white, asian, hispanic??(hard to tell, photo was taken with a potato)

    If the Huff Post group were representative of the standards that the Huff Post sets then there would be more POC's, more men, more older people etc etc. The group is racist, sexist and ageist according to standards that they try to set.

    Personally, I couldn't care less, I work in an office with 85% non-Irish, about 12% POC, about 10% gay or lesbian, and where the overwhelming amount of managers are women. The odd thing is the owner is nowhere near PC, he just picks the best person for the job and couldn't be arsed with figures on diversity or any kind of virtue signalling.

    There are no men because it's a photo specifically of female editors. I very much doubt that they employ no men.
    I'm not sure why you expect there to be older people. It's a meeting of low level staff. I'd imagine their board meetings look very different.
    Asian and Hispanic count as POCs, no? There no black people if that's what you are getting at. But its a group of <20 out of 50,000 staff. Are you suggesting that all meetings within a company should be a representation of the diversity of the entire company. That's a bit ridiculous tbh.

    I'm guessing that the car was in a garage for other work and the mechanic said it needed new tyres, customer said NO.

    Needed the disclaimer signing to avoid liability if something happened down the road.

    The Fox one could easily be dismissed because Im guessing its clearly a cherry picked list, in 2 seconds of googling I can see that Fox have black male and female presenters.

    Going by common left definitions of diversity these days, white people cant be diverse :pac:

    Sure. They have a lot of men left off in general. I don’t think it was supposed to present their entire staff.

    Asians, Hispanics, aren’t “white” though. :confused:

    Didn’t realised there was different definitions of diversity. Love to here the far rights interpretation. :pac:

    To this. Pro blm / Antifa / rioters arrested in Portland

    Antifa-mugshots.jpg
    A majority of cases involve suspects who are white and male, constituting 77 and 67 percent respectively. 83 percent of the suspects are young adults aged 18–35. Juvenile data is not included.

    That's a selection of 24 people out of nearly 1000. Clearly not a random selection either.

    Your quote says 77% where white. So 23% were non-white. US census data says that 76% of the population is white.
    So that distribution seems to be more of less inline with society. Obviously young people and male are more like to riot.

    What exactly is the issue? You hardly think the rioters are excluding old black females from taking part. :pac::pac::pac:
    They look like extras in a Total Recall remake, but the reason for that would be obvious.

    I think you are getting caught up a bit too much in what are simply wtf moments.

    In terms of diverse 'looks" - I'd say its a different planet

    It seemed like you were trying to make a ridiculous point about diversity. Apologies if I misread.
    That like if idiocy is so common these days I tend to assume the worst off the best.
