Buzzfeed Canada's senior editor Scaachi Koul has a lot of explaining to do after tweeting that while they were hiring, the company would “particularly like to hear from you if you are not white and not male.”
When Koul received criticism for her Tweets and race-base hiring practices, she proceeded to fight back.
“IF YOU’RE A WHITE MAN UPSET THAT WE ARE LOOKING MOSTLY FOR NON-WHITE NON-MEN I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU GO WRITE FOR MACLEAN'S,” she said.

I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU
GO WRITE FOR MACLEAN'S
Koul added that while white men can pitch reports, she is looking for 'diversity'.
“White men are still permitted to pitch, I will read it, I will consider it. I’m just less interested because, ugh, men,” she said.
“Women, minorities, non-binary, queer, trans*, aboriginal people are still my first priority,” she added.
She then proceeded to go off the deep end...

As of four hours ago, Koul tweeted a picture saying “you owe these pale demons nothing.”
Can you imagine the backlash if a media outlet's senior editor tweeted out that they were mainly looking for white males?

You mean like forcing the government to force businesses to hire minorities because none of them want to work? Should we hold minorities at gunpoint and make them get jobs?
Couldn’t you use this same logic when you complain about “not enough minority groups represented in comics?” Then why don’t you tell these minorities to start writing their own comics? This skank is just looking for a free ride like all of the other minority groups.
1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2: racial prejudice or discrimination

As you see, no reference to white,pink or green and no mention of gender.
I hope this helps, you leftist progressive fucktard.
Hiring based on anything other than hiring the best always results in poor outcomes. I’m sure this mediocre publication will have a similar outcome.
Bombard Buzzfeed head office with emails about the racist hate pig Scaachi Koul who works for them. Let’s see if Buzzfeed cherishes hate mongers like Scaachi Koul.

After reading a portion of the above article I thought I would put this out again – if only because this white male has had nothing given to him – but explosives and bullets – while trying to protect some women who were entirely ungrateful at our success it seemed
And when I read this:

Which is why I call them feminazis and often have women make excuses for them
I am certain others are getting tired of me putting this up

Actually, that was a good intellectual debate. No one wins or loses, we just understand ourselves better.
We need more of this here, but we probably need a forum. :)
Rebelation,
Couldn’t respond, I had my hands full with Sarah. :)
But my point isn’t whether the content of any particular message of what Scaachi said is or is not an actual law-breaking expression.
The point is that regardless of whether it is or not; and up until that time that a ruling body (including TOS violation) itself explicitly issues a ban on the said item of expression; a person is free to say as they wish without fear of censorship or being banished.
The faux-rulings by all the ‘armchair judges’ (everybody’s a lawyer right? ;), regardless of what they think, is no reason to censor. No matter how clear-cut the case seems.
If this could be the case then I’m sure Milo Yiannopoulos would have been banned a long time ago from most all social media; (not just simply losing his verified user symbol); for so-called illegal acts of expression.
The fact that he’s still pissing up a vitriolic storm is good, no matter how many people he’s insulted or has made to feel uncomfortable.

If we hear through the grapevine that Buzzfeed has sacked this woman and/or adopted policies that don’t discriminate against white males, then we can always re-install Buzzfeed.
It would also be interesting to see if it is possible to get hired by Buzzfeed without a personal interview. Some jobs allow you to work from home all or most of the time without having to set foot in the office very often or maybe ever. If writing for Buzzfeed works that way, then it might be possible to tell this woman that you are a lesbian from Libya or a tranny from Taiwan or whatever, get hired, write some good articles that she praises, and then unveil yourself as a white male, preferably in person. Wouldn’t it be fun to watch her head explode – metaphorically – right in front of you? Bring a videographer: I’d LOVE to see the look on her face….
Did not mean to milk a pointless back and forth
Apologies
The men got tired and went to sleep.
“…The Richmond Fire Department had to apply to a B.C. Human Rights panel to get permission for a “diversity” plan which allows 75% of new jobs in its fire department to go to visible minorities and women. The plan will last from 2007 to 2010…”

The ‘help wanted’ ad, placed by the Richmond fire department, that appeared in the Vancouver Sun (that I can’t find) was mind blowing at the time…look what has been done about it – or has come about – since then!
White, heterosexual, Christians are still the majority in Canada – why are we putting up with the dismantling and deconstruction of our country and all the rest of this lefty/liberal/progressive BS? WHY?
I agree that you can can feel as you do and express as you do.
And I’ll defend that you can feel and express yourself as you wish about her.
But, just as an example of my point, if you were to take action to attempt to her suppress her free speech, I could not support you.
I defend to the death her right to say as she wishes.
Any legal consequences are another issue, that’s not for me to decide, that’s for the courts.
But that aside, even non-violent hate speech is protected in our free-loving country.
@climatefallacy
Yes, I do agree that she can speak her mind about whatever she wants, I don’t want to take her opinions to away from her. I’m not looking to censor someone like a thought police. But you are right in that when you are in a position of power and hold such bias, then you should held to a higher standard and I hope that either Buzzfeed or someone applying takes this further. Obviously I don’t fit the criteria of a plaintiff, I just think that when someone so vocal in the feminism community makes such assertions in a professional forum that they need to be held accountable. If she continues at Buzzfeed and there are not consequences, then she’s proven herself bigger than they are and given her more leeway than she should have.
She should apologize and take a leave of absence if not leave altogether. She has a book coming out and is a great writer otherwise, but perhaps being in a position with a company like Buzzfeed where the brand is bigger than anything she’ll do is limiting to the things she really wants to say. As you say, that’s not for me to decide but hopefully Buzzfeed will share the sentiment. The fact that you can’t even bring it up because of fear of a backlash claiming you’re against feminism or equality is fucked up though and I fear what the ultimate result here will be. She’s the one promoting inequality but gets to stay because of equality? It doesn’t make sense.
If I were to apply for a job and not get hired, not knowing anything about who did or the hiring practises of the company, I would move on to the next place. I wouldn’t use my gender or race as a token or card to get me to the front of the line. Nor would I use it to give me an open mic to be vile and hateful towards men just because I expect them all to be hateful and vile themselves. I expect the same consideration, evaluation and respect that anyone of any background or gender does. I am the opposite of Schaachi Koul, who is a cancer to feminism and part of the problem as to why other women feel the same way. When people champion and cheerlead these kinds of asinine thoughts, they’re just promoting ignorance and not diversity.
I agree with you, and I don’t believe we fundamentally disagree with each other.
It’s correct that the employer may have repercussions.
And that’s up to them to take that risk, and that’s up to her to risk her job.
But I’m certainly not going to stop them, or tell them they don’t have the right to say it.
But if a white male fails to get a job there and he feels he was discriminated against, more power to him in his attempted lawsuit or other legal processes.
Some people push the boundaries of the law, and I respect that.
Laws don’t change unless you push the boundaries.
Another allegory,
If people hate oil, pipelines, oil sands, fossil fuels, go ahead and rant to your heart’s content.
Be a total irrational nutcake, I don’t care.
But once you get into areas of policymaking, and start performing actions that negatively affect other people’s lives, like Nutley’s and her NDP, then we have a problem that needs to be attended to.
Also, Nutley can hate the Rebel, she can ignore the Rebel, but she can’t do anything to stop the Rebel.
Once she starts doing that, then the issue needs to be attended to.
But of course like the white male job seeker, she has the right to serve paper and let the courts decide.
But Ezra and the Rebel have the right to push their rights to the whatever limits of the law they choose. It is not my right to be the ‘armchair’ prosecutor against his actions by way of attempted censorship or other negative action.
But I will defend to the death his right to exercise his freedom of speech, whatever it may be, regardless of whether I agree with it.
