Which two?
(lemmy.world)
I can hear the conservative knuckle draggers chanting "DEI HiRe!! DEi hiRE!!"
Huh, weird. When I heard about those firings (without knowing the demographics of the people involved), I figured Trump was purging the officers who might prioritize their oaths to the Constitution over fealty to his dictatorial regime. It's almost sort of reassuring, in a comprehensively fucked-up way, if it was "just" an act of petty bigotry instead.
(I suppose it's also possible that being willing to betray their oath for Trump could just happen to correlate 100% perfectly with race and gender, but I would be really surprised if that were the case. Surely at least one of the white guys is a genuine patriot, right?)
It’s both.
He replaced Brown with Caine, a man who was quoted as saying, “I will kill for you.” Caine also wore a MAGA hat in uniform, which is against military regulations, showing he puts Trump over his oath.
Some white guys, I assume, are good people. 😉
With a sample size of 6 chosen decidedly not at random this is not THAT difficult a correlation to exist. We can hope that one of them stands up to Trump, but I wouldn't bet on it.
For sure it’s the 2 old white guys.
which two old white guys lol
Why the black old white guy and the female old white guy, of course.
Ah sorry, the administration has taught me to ignore minorities. I should have thought of the female old white guys
Wait, I was aware of Gen. CQ Brown, who else was fired?
To be fair the Hispanic dude is probably next
The woman, of course.
Heh you're right I had to research her name (she is Adm. Lisa M Franchetti). There were not many articles about her, like Gen. CQ Brown.
Oh the old white guys right?
All 6 of them, yep... /s
I was playing the odds, and lost
Probably the diversity hires. The two guys in green. /s
