No whites need apply for job at Dalhousie University

Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, wants to hire someone as its vice-provost of student affairs. Provost Carolyn Watters, who is doing the hiring, specifically does not want any applications from white people.

“We have embarked on the process of selecting a new vice-provost student affairs,” Watters wrote, explaining that the job search “will be restricted to racially visible persons and Aboriginal Peoples at this time.”

I am certain that is the most racist job announcement I have ever read. “Racially visible” and “Aboriginal Peoples.”

Wait, though. Why is a white man or woman not “racially visible?”

The HR vice president explained: “This is a position where we’re looking across our senior admin ranks at Dalhousie, we note that there are representation gaps for racialized and Indigenous People, and so the decision was made to try and target our recruitment efforts to find qualified candidates who will help to increase our representation in the senior ranks.”

The HR VP is Jasmine Walsh. Hmm. Provost Carolyn Watters and HR VP Jasmine Walsh. What are the chances the new hire will be a man?


White man gets job at Harvard; ‘diversity advocates’ not pleased

“Harvard University’s selection of Lawrence Bacow as its new president has been met with disappointment and frustration from those who hoped to see a person of color in the post for the first time.”

Mr. Bacow is the son of Holocaust survivors, but that only spurred on the Jew-haters.

“Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a theoretical physicist at the University of Washington-Seattle, dismissed Bacow’s status as an immigrant and child of a Holocaust survivor, given his light skin.

“’Y’all can spin it as a another immigration story but Harvard was founded by and for white immigrants and it’s been pretty clearly established that white Jews can enter the corridors of power — including former Harvard presidents Larry Summers and Neil Rudenstine [Summer’s predecessor],’ she wrote on Twitter.”

(Msssss Prescod-Weinstein needs some schoolin’ I sentence writing. Oh. She’s in theoretical physics. That explains a lot.)
