Lauren "Racist" Boebert Outed as Racist.

No. She falls under the porn star demographic. Which isn't a protected class.

There is a fundamental assumption among anti-DEI conservatives that there is only one Best Candidate for any job, one who conveniently looks like them. Anyone who look different, then, obviously can't be the Best Candidate, so someone must have "tipped the scales" to get them in.

Diversity is important because it leads to better ideas, particularly in matters of public policy that affect everyone. I think it's perfectly appropriate for a PR team to use, as one of its hiring guidelines, a goal to assemble people from different backgrounds, which will make everything they produce more relatable to the public. But since Conservatives don't see the value in that at all, all they see is "They wanted to hire a black woman to tick a box", not realizing the value that particular candidate's lived experience brings to that team.

I rely on 30+ sources. I do not work for any of them, although I (edit: pay to) subscribe to 3 or 4 (edit: NyTimes, WaPo, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Wired, if anyone cares). Every weekday, I ensure ProPublica’s work gets posted somewhere on Lemmy, that’s probably the only one I never skip.

I don’t alter site headlines and can’t force any outlet to write a better article. The news here is that Boebert said a racist thing. The low-quality journalism thing where they do the “what does twitter have to say about this?” isn’t really important.

Who is it the author says called her a racist? Nobodies on Twitter.

That would only be because our media doesn't have the balls to.
