Our thanks to George for this:

“For most of my career I worked as a mechanical engineer in engine research and development  – a type of work heavily dominated by white men. It is hardly new to say that in such environments women and nonwhites are preferentially promoted. This is a given – it is the nature of the diversity racket. Or rather, the one-sided diversity racket, as there’s never a problem with workplaces dominated by women or nonwhites. Somehow, these are okay.

In my personal experience, there’s an angle to this racket that I’ve never seen mentioned.

During my career, I spent hundreds of hours of my own time writing two large texts on engines. These books established my name internationally – but not with my employer. Rather, my own management continued to treat me as an unpromotable nullity. I never got beyond senior engineer, and, in fact, barely any knowledge displayed in the books was ever used by my employer. I was tolerated and humoured, not valued and acknowledged. Promotions were strictly by ‘invitation only’. And I was never invited. 

Now if you listen to the diversity grifters, they will say (or imply) that there’s a nefarious tribe of ‘white men’, the members of which look out for one another, and nudge aside women and nonwhites. This is BOLLOCKS. A white man can still be excluded or ‘othered’ by white men. The reasons, however, will be very subtle and not easily determined; not obvious ones like gonads or skin colour. A couple of colleagues explained my situation by saying that I’m ‘different’. When I asked what they meant by that, they were not able to say. But in my opinion, the managers were an odious clique that promoted men most like themselves. They were prepared to promote women because they were women, and to promote nonwhites because they were nonwhite, as, otherwise, awkward questions would arise.  But they never promoted white men, just because they were white men. Instead, they promoted white men who were most like themselves; men that slotted nicely into their little clique.

Now if I were a woman or black, and I were dissatisfied with my situation, I could grab a copy of my cv and trot along to an employment lawyer. I’d describe my experiences, and concoct a case. I could say, ‘how come when promotions appear, I’m never considered?” I could say, ‘I’ve provided concrete evidence of what I know, so how come the management never make use of what I offer?’ In other words, I could claim discrimination. Now very probably, there would be no discrimination  – but I could CLAIM it.  And this would give me leverage.

But since I’m a white man working for white men, what case would I have? NONE. White men never discriminate against a white man because he’s a white man !

This is the REAL discrimination. I am discriminated against, because I cannot claim that I’m being discriminated against.”
