The Diversity Racket

by Will on May 19, 2009

There are more than a few compelling reasons to avoid a completely homogeneous workforce, but Matt Labash’s look at sclerotic diversity industry is still pretty damning (and hilarious):

Indeed, Peggy Norris, a private-sector contract consultant who used to work on the government side in procurement, tells me that another consultant, after getting one of her clients through the 8(a) process, told her he could get her the certification as well, since she’s from West Virginia. Another 8(a) guru I found after the conference, Vincent Villa, whose website is literally 8aguru.com, says he once got a woman through 8(a) certification who claimed a sexual harassment disadvantage. “She did wear dresses you could have said were revealing,” says Villa. “And she had big tits. But so what? You shouldn’t be looking!”

That’s the funniest article I’ve read all week.
