“What you might call diversity, I just call an open door.”

~ Russell T. Davies, "Dr. Who" screenwriter, in response to charges that the show is now too "woke" because it has two leading characters who are from minority communities

The “ #Skeptics ” Are Crashing Out HARD
When people who claim to be defending #science and #rationalthinking are calling for the #censoreship of scientific fields of research that irritate their often blind #ideological spot or the dismantling of programs aiming at increasing #diversity in #sciences, if they are supporting #authoritarianism and #totalitarian regimes, you know they are they have everything but a scientific agenda. #antiwoke #ExtremeRightWing

‘#Harvard will not comply with the #Trump administration’s demands to dismantle its #diversity programming, limit student #protests, & submit to far-reaching federal audits in exchange for its federal funding... “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit & hire, and which areas of study & inquiry they can pursue,”... | The Harvard Crimson https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/15/harvard-denies-trump-demands/ #DEI

In response to public backlash, the National Park Service restored original content to its webpage about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad.

[AM] Hungary to vote on legislation targeting LGBTQ+ community as campaign heats up https://am.pairsonnalites.org/2025/04/hungary-to-vote-on-legislation.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Diversity

I had this experience Saturday and I'm only now processing it.

I want to be clear that I don't think anyone in this story is antisemitic, but one doesn't need to be hateful to make someone uncomfortable, and that should hopefully be universally applicable.

I was doing very last minute shopping for Passover supplies, and we went to a supermarket in West Vancouver, the City Market in Park Royal. I went to the International foods section, there was no Jewish/Israeli section. No broths/soups/matzoh ball mix, borcht, bamba, etc.

I went to the Customer Service desk and asked, and the woman suggested I go to "Fresh Foods". I asked why fresh foods, and it turned out she had no idea what kosher food was, so she was guessing. She mentioned they had hallal food (which was good to hear but not what I needed). She called over (head of?) grocery and explained I was looking for "kosher or Greek food", and I explained no Greek, just kosher food.
