Well..he is an accomplice... treason does carry the death penalty....
I am starting to get this feeling that you just call everything that you dislike, don’t agree with, or don’t understand, a “liberal.”

"Explain to me in detail what about djpannda's meme implied liberals are okay with both. The precise point, the words, everything about that meme that specifically is beyond the scope of your comment and deserved to be commented. If you can't, then It's arbitrary and you're just silencing liberals like you have done unabated for the last 6 years."

Nah, I doubt it. This is just going to reinforce his cowardice, even though they'll hate him no matter what since he denied Trump a request (one he is legally incapable of fulfilling, but they don't give a fuck).
Also, I find it beautifully ironic that my 666th message is partially about Donald Trump, a man who would absolutely sell his soul for power or popularity without a second thought if given the chance.

That sums up my opinion of conservatism.
Living in China I can confirm it is not a bias though.
Looking at math grades or testing math ability would be ideal, but even if the manager didn´t, his chance of getting it right based on his bias/gut would be higher (than if he sought to give the work to a different person).
Forcing equity will make life in America less efficient and more dangerous. Do you want your plane to be steered by the best pilot, your heart to be operated on by the best surgeon or by an affirmative action non-binary vegan vision-impaired person of courage?

Thing is, it shouldn't be a chance thing.
If someone wants to assign certain work to certain people, they should properly test said people's aptitude first. Don't put someone on a job because you're biased to believe they're particularly good for it, put someone on a job because they've been shown to have the skills that would make them ACTUALLY be particularly good for it.
Also, that last sentence nearly gave me a stroke. I assume "person of courage" is a typo and that it was meant to be "person of color", because the rest of the sentence is just slapping extra categories on top of "vision-impaired" so that you can get away with sounding reasonable while being bigoted. (After all, gender, dietary lifestyle and skin color do not affect someone's ability to fly a plane, perform surgery or basically any other occupational tasks.)
And if it's not a typo, the rest of the sentence is still bigoted bullshit.

The last sentence was obviously mockery. I think person of courage sounds quite good. It might actually be used one day. I do not want to trademark it though.
As I said, a test would be ideal. But if testing is your criteria, you get a very African-American NBA, very Jewish and Asian universities etc. This has been declared problematic - at least if something is "too white". Just google it. Even bird-watching is too white.

why couldn't the best surgeon be an affirmative action non-binary vegan vision-impaired person of courage? if they are allowed to do the job, they meet all basic standards or better. does it freak you out that slightly disabled people, or people with different gender identities might be better than you? also, with American health care the way it is, it is bold of you to assume we get to choose who our surgeons are.

because they are different, and different scares the insecurity
The biggest straw man argument I've read all day. You have to know that the amount of people who genuinely think this is true is microscopic. But yeah, let's just generalize all liberals as thinking that bird-watching is too white.
I want the best pilot. I don´t care about anything else regarding his person. But then you don´t get enough diversity - the end-all be-all of American ideology. Wouldn´t you be afraid if the person steering the plane got his job for any reason other test demonstrated capability?
Because, on average, interests and capability regarding any field vary between ethnic groups, men and women.
if you come from an Area that does not have diversity. People get scared from different views and might develop invalid and just pathetic Supremacist views.
it sounds to me that you are implying that certain races aren't as capable of tasks as others. diversity is an ENTRY requirement, not an EXIT requirement. if the surgeon can't cut with accuracy, or the pilot fucks up his training, they can't continue their careers. you're hypothetical scenario doesn't exist in reality.
when is the last time you looked up the name of your pilot and said "i'm gonna cancel my flight, this guy looks iffy"?
