Wow. Check out this affirmative action policy email I just received.
[Financial Firm] has clear guidelines regarding the equitable treatment of all of our people. Meritocracy the concept that career success at [Financial Firm] depends solely on ability and achievement is a core value that has been and remains critical to the firms long-term success.So in other words: We have no affirmative action policy. We're certainly equal opportunity, but zilch on the AA. I think the insanity might be almost over. Oh, and regardless of any [alleged?] current or historical repression, bias, and discrimination, I don't think, linguistically, we can call women a "minority."
