Equality at work

Who says the age of heroes is past? The new president of a politically connected globalist corporation bravely advocates diversity:

Boards composed entirely of white males can damage their businesses by indulging in narrow “groupthink”, says Helen Alexander, who is nominated on Monday as the first female president of the CBI employers’ group. ...

Ms Alexander said her message applied to all forms of diversity, including race and social background as well as gender.

“We have seen quite a lot of examples recently of what might be termed groupthink. It is clear that teams that have diversity within them don’t result in groupthink. People come at things in a different way and organisations have to take those into account,” she said.

Modern society routinely accepts the premise that race and sex influence how people think. As long as you use that premise to make a case for affirmative action, you can look forward to honors and promotions. But use it to question affirmative action, no matter the soundness of your research and documentation, and you and your entire argument will be exiled to Siberia along with Richard J. Herrnstein, Charles Murray, Hans Eysenck, and Arthur Jensen -- bad, bad men.
