So the Federal Communications Commission, FCC, announced it’s investigating Comcast for having a diversity program. And this white guy I work with went on a long rant about how promoting minorities in the workplace amounts to discrimination against white people. Can’t even believe people like this are employed at Comcast. Tempted to report him to HR 😂

    Can we just not discriminate based on race? The DEA was pretty good and since when does the FCC have jurisdiction with employment.

      I assume you mean DEI and not the drug enforcement agency, which is infamously bad. And the FCC has broad powers over broadcasters. That said this definitely feels like a reach of power. Like, this feels like the sort of thing I wouldn’t think they have the internal skill base to do.

        The executive branch has exploded in power. Ever since the start of the cold war it has slowly become more and more powerful. Everyone from Bush to Obama has pushed the limits.
