   I love that everyone has taken off their racism masks post-Trump.
   The Wall Street Journal asks if SVB would still be around if the board was 12 white men instead of “diverse” ?

   Not racist, just asking questions. ??♂️

     absolutely a very real issue, i'm sure it couldn't be the white male leadership they hired from lofty positions at *checks notes* lehman brothers and deutsche bank

     feeds to their maga-like crowd, as it's a "subtle" version of "woke bank failure". "it wasn't deregulation, it was diversity that caused the crash".

     i'm sure De Satanis and his ilk on Faux News will be quoting this and putting this exact spin on it.

     I see the WSJ is declaring it's full allegiance to the network of Republican white supremacist propaganda outlets.

     Even The Atlantic's pet moderate conservative thinks this argument that this banks implosion is related to diversity programs is stupid.

     @malfunction54 @carnage4life Those counts are not exactly diverse, either -- just "not 100% white men".

     @eyrea @malfunction54 @carnage4life Are those veterans "too diverse" because they're non-white, non-male or just not the straight funnel from school to ivy league to bank?

     @carnage4life “distracted by diversity demands”. Wow. That’s a terrible exaggeration of how much effort it takes to make a diverse environment.
