- Affirmative Action = Hiring people because they can’t do the job well.
- Diversity = Hiring groups that cannot do the job well.
- Inclusiveness = Seeking to hire people who you know cannot do the job well
Here is how Fred Reed put it in the original article:
“Affirmative action” means hiring people because they can’t do the job well. Near-synonyms are “diversity,” meaning groups that cannot do the job well, and “inclusiveness,” which means seeking people who you know cannot do the job well. These underpin American society and have ruined education. For some time the sciences seemed less susceptible to the prevailing enstupidation because mathematics would present an impenetrable barrier to the the insufficiently bright. This, astonishingly, is changing. The sciences are being dumbed down to–are you surprised?–spare the feelings of included affirmative diversity.
A bonus word:
- Minorities = Poorly performing minorities (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and so on don’t count).
