Reply #3: I think you're wrong...

"I don't think people here realize that this is the language that conveys the idea that a woman or person of color should only get the job if they are so qualified that they literally walk on water and then turn it into wine."

That's bullshit, and I don't believe the majority of DU buys into such simple ignorance and prejudices. It may convey that idea to someone who obviously does not understand the simple fact that "the best person for the job" does not require certain physical, or lifestyle attributes. I have never understood the left's loud objections to the very thing they have fought for. Equality without prejudice one way or the other. I cannot count the number of threads I have read here that decry the use of physical, or lifestyle as criteria for judging someone. Sadly, when it happens, it is the left that condemns it's own beliefs. What's so hard to understand that if a person is emminantly qualified for a position, it should not matter whether they are black, gay, straight, white, female, or male etc. The only consideration should be whether the individual will use the best judgment in carrying out their duties to the betterment of all the people who reside in this country. Sometimes the left is their own worst roadblock, good intentions aside. Thanks.
