Woke panic: Nasdaq wants to require racial, sex discrimination

[Counselor706]

Nasdaq wants to require listed companies to include on their boards at least one woman and one person from an underrepresented racial minority or someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer, or identifies with the myriad of sexual identities activists include under the rubric of “LGBTQ+.”

Nasdaq, the second-largest U.S. stock exchange, filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would mandate listed companies to have a minimum of two “diverse directors,” including one who “self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+.”

The practice of requiring a quota for preferred sexual orientations and racial groups could run afoul of U.S. laws prohibiting discrimination based on race and sex.

The quota rule would require an massive churn of corporate boards. According to Nasdaq, over the past six months, more than three-quarters of its listed companies would have fallen short of the woke quotas.

It's funny that woke wants to act like they care for women's rights when they want to have men take control of women's sports and business and violate their private lives. They are not interested in having people who are qualified to fill a job, but want people who can not even describe what a woman is. Woke is racists, sexist and a bunch of child molesters who are too dumb to make a living on their own. They hate human rights and civil rights and the Constitution. But hey the Communists have great use for them as organ donaters. The word "diverse" is not in the Constitution of any nation.

just...fuck off, dude. Okay?

And this thread is three years old anyway. You have nothing intelligent or coherent to say and even if you did, why resurrect an old thread in the first place?
