White House launches diversity action plan for government

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House released an action plan on Thursday aimed at advancing racial and gender equity across the federal government to improve diversity.

The strategy is aimed at working to ensure the federal government is a model for diversity and equity and preventing discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, the White House said.

Each agency across the government is taking steps to improve equity by implementing new rules, a senior administration official told reporters.

The U.S. Treasury Department said it would create a new Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility to develop and drive a cohesive strategy across the department and its bureaus.

many of whom are blatantly racially segregated in a way that most Americans won't understand or even believe. Many federal contracts are complete garbage that US citizens won't even apply for. Politicians pretend that they're creating jobs by locating them in economically disadvantaged areas but the people who live there won't apply. So they'll use hundreds of H1Bs and send me there to be the one token US citizen instead of trying harder to hire one local resident who already lives there. Idiots

It's worse now during the so-called "labor shortage". They are more desperate to find a token US citizen and will say any amount of blatant BS to recruit one.

Therefore it needs to be disseminated far and wide right down to every little village in the hinterlands.
