Links - 31st May 2026 (2 - Diversity)

Basil the Great on X - "The UK Government made an anti-harassment campaign advert. All the perverts were white. The saviours were ethnic minorities. This anti-white racism is there for everyone to see But we all know the truth"
Hunter Ash on X - "The media does a subtle kind of statistical lying where every PSA, every ad, every TV show, and every movie is full of situations that are demographically unlikely. Are there black scientists, woman fighters, gay people, and white sexual harassers? Of course. But when 80% of movie scientists are black, half the warriors are women, 1/3 of characters are some kind of gay, and all the sexual harassers are white guys, that constitutes a collective lie by the media. And it’s obviously intentional."

Paul Embery on X - "This is insane. In nearly every public information film about sexual harassment, the perpetrator is white. Transport for London happened to produce a film showing a black harasser. The film has been banned for "perpetuating a racist negative stereotype"."
Jared Taylor on X - "This ad was banned after ONE SINGLE COMPLAINT from a viewer. JUST ONE. We must never see blacks shown in a bad light."

Sam Ashworth-Hayes on X - "I had vaguely wondered why the overwhelming majority of ads targeting misbehaviour on the tube seemed to cast white men/women as criminals and assumed it was purely "good manners". The answer appears to be that you're not allowed to show minorities committing offences."

Millennial Woes on X - "Imagine a stereotype so obviously true, so obviously primed to confirm public suspicions, that a single example of it has to be banned. LOL"

Transport for London advert banned for harmful racial stereotype : r/unitedkingdom - "So the versions with a white male harassing a black female are not racist, but when it’s a black male as the criminal, suddenly that’s racist?"

Tom Jones on X - "In Britain it is now functionally illegal to show anyone but a white man committing harassment."

Advert banned: Ministry of Justice photo 'likely to cause serious offence on the grounds of race' - "A Ministry of Justice advert has been criticised by the advertising watchdog, which said it was "likely to cause serious offence" on the grounds of race.  The ad on Facebook was for the MoJ's Prison Jobs scheme and featured an image of a white prison officer talking to a black inmate, with text saying: "Become a prison officer. One career, many roles."... A reader complained that the ad, seen on 25 June, perpetuated negative ethnic stereotypes and was likely to cause serious offence.  The Advertising Standards Authority said: "We considered the ad did not suggest that all black men were criminals or were more likely to be so than any other ethnic group.  "However, it showed an imbalanced power dynamic, with a smiling white prison officer, described as a 'life changer', and a black, institutionalised prisoner.  "We considered the ad's focus on the positive qualities of the white prison officer and negative casting of the black prisoner was likely to be seen as perpetuating a negative racial stereotype. "We concluded that the ad was likely to cause serious offence on the grounds of race by reinforcing negative stereotypes about black men."  It ruled that the advert must not appear again.  The MoJ said it would appeal the ruling, adding that the photos in the campaign featured real officers and prisoners, so it was not an inaccurate or unfair representation of the engagement that might be seen between officers and prisoners.  None of the other images used in the campaign showed white officers alongside ethnic minority prisoners, it added."
The media only have a responsibility to portray reality when that makes "minorities" look good
Reality needs to be banned, because it perpetuates negative stereotypes

Jimmy Failla on X - "The more you hear Ketanji Brown Jackson talk, the more you realize why Democrats think women are too dumb to get voter id."

Visegrád 24 on X - "Covering tonight’s launch, Sky News decided it was necessary to whine about the fact that all astronauts who went to the moon 1969-1972 were white men"
Dr Philip Kiszely on X - "It’s a mental illness. Without white men there would no space travel. There would be no rockets, aeroplanes, trains, cars, or bicycles. White men drove the Industrial Revolution. They urbanised. They civilised."

Meme - Pagliacci the hated @Slatzism: "Ottawa is 4% Indian. Why are they 60% of the city's new bus drivers?"
OC Transpo @OC_Transpo: "Drum roll please! We are happy to introduce our newest group of Bus Operator graduates. They are fully trained and looking forward to driving our city forward. Congratulations!"
Luckily 60% of the new bus drivers aren't white, because though 65% of the city is white, if 60% of new bus drivers are white that means there's racism against non-white people and they need to do better in attracting non-white talent

i/o on X - "Data about black law students from 2004 study:
— Half graduate in the bottom 10th of their class
— They flunk-out at more than twice the white rate
— Are 6 times as likely as whites to take the bar multiple times but never pass
— Have LSATs/GPAs 2 SDs below whites
There is little evidence that these disparities (other than the LSAT disparity) have changed much since the publication of the study."
Clearly we need more DEI to correct historic and current racism

John Rain on X - "Manufacturing white criminals: Depictions of criminality and violence on Law & Order "Results suggest whites are disproportionately portrayed as criminals five to eight times more often on police dramas compared to actual crime statistics for the city of New York, and exposure to police dramas leads to elevated perceptions of white criminality among non-whites.""
Wesley Yang on X - "The conundrum here is that the overwhelmingly black population subject to the criminal justice system is what lends (superficial) credence to the (false) “New Jim Crow” narrative at the foundation of the decarceration movement — but a realistic portrayal of it would be shocking even to the liberals whose votes support decarceral agendas. It would either have to be New Jim Crow agitprop that would fail dramatically and be non-credible or an actual depiction of what decarceration is actually doing (unleashing criminals with dozens of prior arrests until they finally kill).   Thus the manufacture of white criminals."
The media only have a responsibility to depict reality when that pushes the left wing agenda

Cynical Publius on X - "Anybody remember Richard Sander?  He was a law professor who proposed the “mismatch” theory of racial preferences in school admissions.  The theory basically claimed that racial preferences in admissions to elite schools actually HARMED those minority students who were admitted with objectively lesser qualifications.  His theory held that because those students did not have high enough test scores and grades as others admitted to those elite universities, they would therefore lag behind in their school work, receive lesser grades and lesser job opportunities post-graduation, and possibly not graduate at all.  His theory further held that those minority students would be far more successful in life going to schools where their credentials were good enough for admission without racial preferences.  He suggested that going to a state school, for example, would lead to higher grades, higher rates of graduation and better life opportunities.  For this theory he had his life ruined.  He was metaphorically crucified in the public square as a “racist."  Now look at the headline below from the NY Times.  (I’ll link to the full article one post below.)  America owes Richard Sander a huge apology."
Colleges See Major Racial Shifts in Student Enrollment - The New York Times - "An analysis finds that flagship state universities, as well as less selective colleges, had major increases in Black and Hispanic students following a ban on race-conscious admissions."

llillillulu on X - ""who cares if a billionaire partners with a corporation to screw tax payers out of millions with a DEI loophole? hes black so somehow its actually A Good Thing" btw 100% chance that she is a "death to all billionaires" tiktok liberal when it comes to white billionaires lmao"
Thread by @bobbyfijan on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "It’s even “funnier” that this applies to housing projects too. I have plenty of friends who have essentially started companies that sell basic construction items … like doors, cabinets, drywall … where they do ~nothing other than charge a markup to projects that need to be a certain % of projects costs to be from minority owned businesses  It adds a meaningful percentage to the cost of construction, while providing literally ZERO benefit of service other than to the owner of the license. It doesn’t change what is manufactured, or where or by who."
On Magic Johnson school catering
Left wing logic: if it's paid for by the taxpayer, "who cares"? That's why they want unlimited government and unlimited social spending - so the state can pay for all the fat and graft

The Argument on X - "Want to hear two friends argue about affirmative action? Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts! New episode drops this Thursday, April 9. Don't miss it!"
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ on X - "The editor of "The Argument" really struggles to understand the argument. No, affirmative action is not an "edge case"—it's been the ruling formula of political life since the 60s. And you can't shrug off systematic state-backed discrimination with a casual "who cares.""
Jesse Arm on X - "“Who cares?”  Racial favoritism in government contracting is the most costly, egregious form of DEI that exists.  When the government wastes tens of billions of taxpayer dollars by illegally requiring firms to discriminate on the basis of race in contracting decisions, it undermines merit not just in school lunch programs, but in infrastructure, national defense, disaster relief, and more—all while doing nothing to help the truly disadvantaged.  This does far more damage than imbecilic mandatory DEI trainings—or even affirmative action in college admissions, which affects only an elite subset of Americans.  I care about that! Many other Americans do as well."
Colin Wright on X - "Progressives dismiss and downplay racist affirmative action policies that, if the races were reversed, would cause them to take the streets in protest of "Jim Crow 2.0" and an epidemic of systemic white supremacy.  When you present a case of racial discrimination to a progressive, always start with the races reversed and see how they respond. When they respond with predictable outrage, reveal the true dynamic. This is how you expose a real racist."

Shakespeare was a black woman, new book claims - "William Shakespeare was a “black Jewish woman”, according to a new book.  It claims that the truth of Shakespearean authorship has been hidden by centuries of “Western-centric and Eurocentric ideology”.  The author contends that the real Bard was a cosmopolitan woman with a “multicultural identity”.  This woman is identified in the new work, titled The Real Shakespeare, as the historical figure Emilia Bassano – a poet with connections to the Tudor court.  Bassano, it is claimed, used the pen-name “Shakespeare” and wrote the Shakespearean canon of plays, only for her work to be stolen by an uneducated interloper from Stratford-upon-Avon.  This interloper, whom we now know as William Shakespeare, was then revered by posterity because the idea of a “white” genius was preferred to a black female playwright, the book argues. The book’s author, Irene Coslet, a feminist historian, told The Telegraph: “If Shakespeare was a female of colour, this would draw attention to issues of peace and justice in society.”"
Feminists making shit up again, as usual

A Framework, Not Folkways - "When critics say America has “no culture,” what they often mean is that America does not enforce a single narrative of identity. It does not require conformity to ancient custom and does not demand ethnic continuity. It asks only that you operate within a framework of law, liberty, and responsibility.  Because it is not culturally dependent, anyone can practice it, and because anyone can practice it, it can absorb the world without losing itself—so long as the underlying values remain intact. The real danger to American civilization is not cultural diversity. It is the erosion of the principles that make diversity workable in the first place.  America is not a tribe— it is a process, and processes, when they work, do not need a single face to endure. By trying to remake the nation into tribes, classes and races, the left is working to destroy the trust that binds America together. Diversity is not our strength, unity in value and principle are—and that is how we make it through these trying times.  The question is whether we can achieve the unity necessary."

Meme - United Nations @UN: "Every 3 seconds, a girl is married somewhere in the world. Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential. This #ValentinesDay, join @UNEPA in speaking out against this form of gender-based violence:"
"A child should never be in a marriage. #EndChildMarriage @UNFPA"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "The image in this post is deliberately misleading. Even their own site shows that the vast majority of child marriages happen in countries that are predominantly dark skinned. The use of a white woman with blond hair is a dishonest representation of the problem."

Josh Barro on X - "How does prohibiting racial discrimination in college admissions constitute a ruling against civil rights? Who edited this article?"
Left wing logic: if you're against racial discrimination, you're racist

Andy Ngo on X - "The board of @UniversitiesWI has fired its president as revenge for him making concessions to Republican lawmakers by pausing DEI hiring. The board members are appointed by @GovEvers, a Democrat. People who said “woke is dead” seriously need to rethink their position."

Ameer Kotecha on X - "It’s important to dissect the tactics that the (so called) progressives employ.  The public never asked to get rid of Churchill.  They never would. In 2002 they voted him the greatest Briton of all time in that BBC poll.  This “consultation” instead involved asking about categories and found 'nature' was the top choice ahead of 'architecture and landmarks' and 'notable historical figures'. Hardly surprising when framed in those terms. Hard to hate badgers.   That provided the cover to enact this change. As so often, fear of causing offence - no matter how unreasonable or small in number the potentially offended  - trumps pride in a national hero."

Graeme Archer @graemearcher - "I don't think it's possible to be sufficiently contemptuous of Labour MPs. The BoE guidance, which many others have shared, made clear that "diversity" was a clear criterion - no image could be selected that might cause "offence." So no Churchill, no Darwin, no Nightingale, no Newton, no Turing, no Berners-Lee, no Logie Baird, no Montgomery, no Shakespeare, Marlowe or Johnson, no Holst and certainly no Elgar. Just fucking badgers.  That Labour has reduced me to swearing in public just depresses me even more. There is literally nothing great about this country that Labour doesn't hate. There is literally no move Labour won't countenance to erase British symbolism from everything British.  (That's why they've styled themselves "UK Govt" as opposed to the truth - His Majesty's Government. The Crown is the people's guarantor of protection against executive diktat, a reminder that the government serves us; shouldn't rule over us. So Labour abolished the symbol. In two generations the idea that the government doesn't just have the right to do whatever it wants to you will be lost.)  Meanwhile, of course, in case we've forgotten, Starmer made Mandelson US ambassador because whatever, God knows why - maybe a podcast bro said it would be like fine, man, have you *seen* this dossier? - and then decided to abolish jury trials. When Geoffrey Cox made the greatest Parliamentary response of our generation to this abominable idea, the Lammy Thing lolled about, fat face sniggering like some village idiot.  I have never before been governed by a movement that doesn't hide the fact that it hates the country. It's alarming and depressing in equal measure."

Analysis: Charlie Kirk’s Black Pilot Comments in Context - "KOLVET: We’ve all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits or when you’re flying through a storm and you’re like, “I’m so glad I saw the guy with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit before we took off. And I feel better now, thinking about that.”
KIRK: You wanna go thought crime? I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, “Boy, I hope he’s qualified.”
KOLVET: But you wouldn’t have done that before!
KIRK: That’s not an immediate … that’s not who I am. That’s not what I believe."
With the Artemis mission, left wingers are busy posting that meme quote mining Charlie Kirk. But of course, they're lying, as usual

RedWave Press on X - "NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.” “I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”"
Ironically, he rejected DEI. So much for mocking Charlie Kirk
Left wingers are still trying to pretend the right hates him because he's a DEI hire, because they always project

DEI Practices Reduce Productivity, Cost $94 Billion Annually: White House Economic Report - "Researchers calculated that DEI policies reduced output and lowered the country’s gross domestic product by about $94 billion each year, amounting to approximately $1,160 per year for families with two working adults.   “These estimates imply that DEI promotion has led to inefficient management, raising the cost of doing business,” the report reads.  “These costs lead the companies practicing DEI to hire fewer people and pay their workers less.”... DEI policies “actively encouraged” employment discrimination, according to the report, which cited fourfold growth in the percentage of minorities holding management positions between 2016 and 2023.   During the same period, industries that adopted DEI protocols were 2.7 percent less productive than industries that avoided the cultural shift. "

Oxford and Cambridge drop out of top three in university rankings because of 'misguided attempts at equality': Experts blame social engineering as elite institutions lose prestige - "The historic universities of Oxford and Cambridge have failed to get into the top three in a prestigious annual university ranking for the first time. The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026 placed the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) first for the second year in a row, followed by the University of St Andrews in Scotland second and Durham University in third. Oxford and Cambridge were joint fourth - the first time neither have held a place in the top three in the 32 years the Times has produced its guide. Last year Oxford was ranked third, while Cambridge was already sitting at fourth."

Meme - "She openly admits that it's impossible to be a young white male writer but she doesn't care"
Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates: "(a friend who is a literary agent told me that he cannot even get editors to read first novels by young white male writers, no matter how good; they are just not interested. this is heartbreaking for writers who may, in fact, be brilliant, & critical of their own "privilege.")"
Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates: "There's More Than One Way to Ban a Book"
Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates: "before DEI, only white men were even interviewed. DEI was instituted to at least make interviews possible for non-white men; & to everyone's surprise, or no one's, once the playing field was leveled women & persons of color began to be hired. naturally, white men were miffed."
Left wingers are still lying that DEI is to ensure everyone enjoys an even playing field and that everyone who isn't a straight white man can get hired

Meme - "JUST IN: McDonald's to eliminate self-serve soda stations nationwide by 2032, citing "changing consumer habits""
"Changing consumer habits stole my bike"

Liam Out Loud on X - "A study found that exposure to DEI material increases paranoia, hostility, and support for violent retribution.  Participants were more likely to seek punishment even when discrimination hadn’t occurred  "They even endorsed explicitly hostile statements against entire groups they deemed to be privileged."   In other words: Progressive ideology manufactures moral grievances and then trains people to retaliate against imagined transgressors.  I'd estimate 20–30% of society now appears psychologically primed to interpret ordinary events as oppression and respond with moral hostility."
Left wing ideology is all about division, after all
Also see the Dartmouth Scar Experiment - people see what they're looking for, and grievance-mongering means people feel more oppressed (even when they're not). It's literally in their heads

End Wokeness on X - "Justice KBJ: "If I steal a wallet in Japan, I am subject to Japanese laws….. in a sense, it's allegiance." Her case for birthright citizenship:"
Will Ricciardella on X - "That’s territorial jurisdiction, not political allegiance. If being subject to laws meant allegiance, every tourist would be a citizen."
Left wingers will continue to insist that she is "qualified" and that if you question has competence, you're racist and sexist
