We are often told that “diversity” enhances business performance, the bottom line and the economy in general. But the more we elevate “diversity” to a religion and discrimination lawsuits to one of its sacraments, the more the costs would appear to pile up. While not excusing boorish behavior in the workplace, if “diversity” were truly the godsend promised, it would be up and functioning smoothly without the need for endless litigation. But once people get religion, it seems, rational criticism becomes heresy.

As several people pointed out, for that kind of money, you’d have a line of people voluntering to help you insult thmselves.

Dropping the reward like that might make a tiny dent in the number of people in that line, but that’s about it.

My grandmother worked hard at minimum wage as a widow to support herself and four children.
