As bad as the
New York Times can be right now, that will be nothing compared to how truly miserable it can become if it institutes the asinine race quotas and other demands that the paper's worker union is demanding.
In a
series of tweets on Friday, the News Guild of New York, representing the
New York Times editorial staff, laid out several race-based items for the paper's leadership to start working on.
Among them were
for the company's workforce demographics to reflect that of New York City (race quotas); for each stage of the hiring process for a new position to have
at least 50% of the candidates be minorities (race quotas); and for the establishment of "mentorship programs" that create a track for minorities to move from junior positions to more senior ones (race quotas).
Oh, and the union demands that
all articles be given "sensitivity reads," the purpose of which would be to censor and edit content that offends or has the potential to offend minorities.
There would be nothing wrong with hiring more black journalists, but it's hard enough to find one good journalist, let alone 18 who meet additional exclusionary criteria.
Black people only account for about 12% of graduates with a journalism degree each year. Just as with every other race, only a very few will go on to get a job at a newspaper, and even fewer will get a job at a major metropolitan newspaper.

In fact, they are REAL anti-fascists.
