Incloosivity fail
It’s odd how oblivious journalists (and no doubt the people who read them) can be about misogynist insults. CNN for instance:
Darren Beattie, a former Donald Trump speechwriter who was fired in 2018 after CNN revealed he spoke at a conference attended by White nationalists, has been elevated to a top job at the State Department, multiple sources familiar with the move told CNN.
…
Beattie also has made a series of racially charged comments, writing in one tweet last year, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”
Yes, that’s “racially charged,” aka racist, but it’s not only racist. I wonder if you can spot what else it is. Take your time. You may consult a dictionary.
And it’s not just CNN – I quoted the passage to Google News and all the hits I got did the same thing. Apparently nobody noticed the “men” bit.
It’s so annoying. Hello??? We’re right here. We’ve been pointing out this crap for more than half a century, and still you just blank us?
Or maybe you just agree that we’re uniformly incompetent.
And not just the ‘men’ thing – he uses ‘women’ right there! Of course, they don’t recognize that word anymore. They can’t define it, so they just ignore it.
It does seem that only men are competent enough to run Musk’s wood chipper.
