No Whites Need Apply

If you want a cushy overpaid job as an educrat, the first thing you have to do is not be white:

Dalhousie University, based in the Canadian city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has announced it will only be seeking “racially visible and Indigenous candidates” for a senior management position in order to encourage diversity.

That is, whites need not apply.

Provost and vice-president academic Carolyn Watters, who wrote the email, claimed that the move was to increase representation from “underrepresented groups”, CBC reports.

Nonwhites are “underrepresented” in white countries for the same reason that whites are underrepresented in nonwhite countries. What is the likelihood that officials will only hire someone who isn’t ethnically Chinese for a position at Shanghai Jiao Tong University?

“In keeping with the principles of our employment equity policy, and with an aim to increase the representation of under-represented groups at Dalhousie, this search for a new vice-provost student affairs will be restricted to racially visible persons and Aboriginal peoples at this time,” Watters wrote.

Dalhousie student union president Amina Abawajy, who has the advantage of a “minority Muslim background,” is on the hiring committee. She explains that the candidate must be nonwhite so as to be sure to have “understanding of intersectional oppression and forms of oppression and how they manifest on campus” when matters related to “equity, diversity and inclusion” arise.

To translate out of duckspeak, that means that a nonwhite can be counted on to side with other nonwhites against whites. Among educrats these days, virtually all whites can be counted on to do that too.

Progressives are right about one thing: there really is systematic racial discrimination. That’s why not being white is worth more than merit.
