"I would give ABC News credit for proper pronouns and gendering (with the exception of including Mr. Quinn's birth name which is fucking skeezy) if this entire article didn't have that subtext of 'See what happens when we hire those minorities? Affirmative action is bad, mm'kay?' and if that subtext wasn't so goddamn subtle. Its the kind of thing that someone who is not the most progressive, or who doesn't think to look for things like this, will see, will skim over and will assimilate without even realizing it.
If someone gets a job they are not qualified for because whoever hired them was afraid of being 'offensive' then blame the person who hired them, but this subtle 'See what happens when we try to level the playing field? See? White, het, cis doods really are just better at everything!' shit is disgusting."
