Offensive Squaw Valley - Hired On Merit

100 places in California carry derogatory name. They could all be renamed

A new federal order to remove the word “squaw” from the names of public lands across the U.S. could have significant ramifications in California, where an estimated 100-plus places carry the derogatory name. These include peaks, streams, trails and other geographic features, as well as a pair of small towns in Northern California both called Squaw Valley — one in North Lake Tahoe, the other in Fresno County.

Should the community of Squaw Valley change its name?

Over a year after launching an effort to rename the community of Squaw Valley, a group of about 15 protesters gathered in downtown Fresno to urge the Fresno County Board of Supervisors to change the name that many argue is racist and misogynistic.

Multiple people spoke out during this week’s board meeting, which at times turned tense and ended with the group’s leader escorted from the meeting by police.

New Study PROVES Liberals Are MORE Racist

We’ve been saying it for YEARS…

Excluding white supremacists from the conversation (from EITHER side), white liberals are WAY more racist than any regular conservative.

They simply look at minorities as weaker than themselves – which is why they’re always trying to “help” them.

Liberals see minorities and people of color as underprivileged victims…

Conservatives see them as Americans.

Conservatives don’t look at what minorities or the disenfranchised are lacking and try to make up for it…

They simply say, “You’re an American… do whatever you want to do with your life.”

‘Sense of Lawlessness': With 500 Killings, 2021 Is Deadliest in Philly History

When Jamal Johnson started his hunger strike against the gun violence endemic in Philadelphia on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January, he said there were 27 murders at the time.

He ended his 26-day hunger strike after Mayor Jim Kenney finally agreed to meet with Johnson to talk about new steps by the city to address rampant gun violence.

"No one else took it very seriously at the time. Now that we’re at 500, I think people have finally taken some notice,” Johnson told NBC10 in an interview this week, referencing the grim milestone in Philadelphia’s long history as police announced there have been 500 killings since the start of 2021.

Minority professor denied grants because he hires on merit: 'People are afraid to think'

I don't care about the colour of your skin. I'm interested in hiring someone who wants to work on the project and is good at it,' Prof. Patanjali Kambhampati says

An award-winning Canadian scientist said he has been refused two federal government grants for his research on the grounds of “lack of diversity” — even though he is originally from India and has repeatedly suffered racism.

Patanjali Kambhampati, a professor in the chemistry department at Montreal’s McGill University, believes the death knell for the latest grant was a line in the application form where he was asked about hiring staff based on diversity and inclusion considerations. He says his mistake was maintaining that he would hire on merit any research assistant who was qualified, regardless of their identity.
