This entire political project is about affirmative action but only for guys who scream slurs at work. Professionals largely don’t have to put up with this and they want to MAKE you put up with it.

I'm not sure I understand why they're going through this public show of being forced to fire the guy and then bring him back. I thought their whole deal was that they don't feel beholden to this kind of pressure anymore.
"look I'm not gonna bag the guy for saying 'normalize Indian hate,' heck I know how that feels sometimes. I mean, have you met my wife???? haha I am telling a joke, a thing we do around here. Tho seriously I love my wife, WHEN SHES NOT MOUTHING OFF THAT IS. lol another joke 🤣🤣🤣"
It would seem that hiring him back would be an example of DEI.
Diversity - we want racists and non-racists working for us
Equity - we treat racists the same as non-racists
Inclusion - we want racists to feel included
If asked, I'm sure Just Dumb would also say other crimes (e.g., rape, murder, theft, espionage, fraud, perjury, etc.) shouldn't be allowed to ruin the poor little boy's life. After all, isn't that how his hero, Felon47, started. Look how he turned out!
The basic idea of "this stupid shit he said should not ruin the kid's life" is actually a reasonable thing, but it is not reasonable to bring him back now to the same role.
If he learns & changes & becomes a better person then yes he should have a second chance at some point.
IF he becomes better.
I am only saying the racist, shitty 20-something should get a second chance IF he grows up and becomes a decent normal human being.
I am sure people are ok working with a 30 or 40-something who knows he was a complete dumbfuck asshole when he was in his 20s and has managed to grow up and change.
Just bad faith sleight of hand, reducing his Nazi views to "social media activity" while inflating the consequences to "ruined life." The kid can still go have a life, there are other jobs
this is their main gripe with liberalism generally. liberals have all these spaces traditionally associated with high culture america that sneer at conservatives and they want power to be a vehicle to force those people to let them in those spaces
Different context, but there was so much of that when Trump won the first time. Every right winger was so mad about winning but not being liked. Seems to animate not a little of their politics
I know. How about the kid posts a full throated apology thread explaining how terrible his former posts were and how they don’t reflect him or his values. Let him explain to the world the terrible effect and injustice of racism. Then afterwards, don’t hire him back
Indeed. Any of us would be justifiably fired for this and most of us watch training videos every year reinforcing it, and yet Vance wants ‘grace’ for someone in a position of high responsibility
This only works b/c they think every time someone says a slur about them it's a joke, it's a game, and they are so close to finding out that no, people who say that stuff say it b/c they believe it
The American authority in cushion matching, JD MascaraDoll Vance, fantasizes a political afterlife career in pastel paints, drapery, & furniture design. Melania keeps him close for consults. Occasionally handsy handy, but not regularly useful...like an empty nail polish bottle for a paper weight. 😎
When Trump is out of office (feet first or otherwise), hunt down MAGA "leaders" and ruin them financially, politically, socially, and in any other way that ends in "lly". If they want a country they can fuck up for sport and profit, deport them to Mars with 40 acres and a mule and let them try.
I would argue that being openly racist does make one a bad dude regardless of age, but then again I’m not as smart as a man who was Yale C student novelty and mostly only worth what you could get in OxyContin for selling him into slavery.
The faux Appalachian is such a pitiful excuse for a human being. Vance must live in constant anxiety these days from trying to decide which boots to lick first.

Now he’s “a kid” that we should have empathy for? The kind of empathy they refuse to extend to traumatized immigrants? If he’s an immature, proudly racist “kid,” WTF is he being allowed to access the most sensitive data areas in our govt?
Federal agencies with jurisdiction over Title VI will be used against recipients to police them for "DEI." The entire project will be the "De-Ba'athification" (in their words) of state, local, and contractor non-discrimination programs, turning them into, effectively, pro-discrimination programs.
an underrated aspect of this is how unpleasant the Racial Slurs Guy is even if you are not the target of his bigotry. I'm here to do a job, I don't need to constantly hear you yelling about how The Wokes are out to get you.
It absolutely fucking blows when this guy is treated as a Missing Stair in the workplace - it's _your_ fault that you gave him a reason to go On His Bullshit Again, no matter how much you tiptoe. Since his entire goal is to say racial slurs in the workplace, tiptoeing just increases his sensitivity

“A now deleted pseudonym” does not mean it never happened.
Bro probably thinks he can just “delete” the civil rights movement.

I thought Vance was against DEI.

And Vance can't even stand up for his own wife!
Seeing as Musk and Trump run the country, JD Vance serves no f'ing purpose and should be ignored at all times.
Or if he cares.
The absolute worst that can happen to him is working from Belgrade for the same employer.
He's shown he's white supremacist, but he's *not* a bad dude? And Trump pardons pedophiles.
So … "bad dude" is the lowest of low bars now.
Assuming you're white and Christian, I expect. And willing to do their bidding.
They lost the fight *amongst the very people who nominally benefit most.*
