Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: Everything within the lens of race; nothing outside the lens of race; nothing against the lens of race.
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…

Racial and sex discrimination is the official police of one of the world’s biggest investment firms, State Street. Oh, White men can still be hired… if they are given a special dispensation, which which will likely not be given freely since executives pay is tied to having less White men in the company vis-à-vis non-Whites or women:
“Staff at one of the world’s biggest investment companies have to get special approval to hire a white man, rather than a woman or an ethnic-minority candidate.
“The policy is part of a drive by State Street, which employs 2,500 people in Ireland, to improve diversity within its middle and senior management. The multinational aims to triple the number of black, Asian and other minority staff in senior roles by 2023, and executives’ bonuses will be lower if they do not meet the targets.”
