The Moose: What's the opposite of oppressed?

I've always despised 'Diversity Officers'. They're the perfect definition of job creation for the unemployable. Before Tony Blairs Government, these people would have been on the dole for life, as they have no redeeming qualities for an employer, at all

But since the hideous BLM started making waves about a dead American criminal, they've become so full of their own self-importance. So much so, that they've officially now crossed over from 'positive discrimination', to actual racism

Diversity officer guilty of racism after telling colleague ‘you must have been oppressed’

The new narrative is that if you have white skin you are racisit and if you have darker skin, you are opressed. There is no inbetween. This in itself is racist, and finally it's being seen as such

A diversity officer racially discriminated against a mixed race colleague at broadcaster Sky by telling her she must have been “oppressed” because of her Latina heritage, an employment tribunal has ruled.

I'm not sure what the term 'oppressed' is actually supposed to mean these days. None of these so called oppressed people have ever been slaves or picked cotton, so it must have a more subtle meaning

Maybe they're oppressed because they are under-represented in TV adverts? No, that can't be it...

Ms Cook, an Inclusion Advocate for Sky In-Home Services, was immediately challenged after she made the assumption about the “oppression” Mrs Bradbury must have experienced in her life, the hearing was told.

That this woman and others must be oppressed, is just an assumption. The reality it seems, is quite the opposite

The hearing was told Mrs Bradbury joined Sky as a Customer Advisor in 2010.

In March 2018 she moved to the broadcasting giant’s In-Home Services department as part of its first cohort of female trainees taking part in a new “Women in Home Service” scheme dedicated to getting more women engineers.

She started as a customer advisor, but was given a leg-up to a career as an engineer, because she's a woman

Following the conversation, Mrs Bradbury, 50, became “very upset” and self-conscious about her skin colour, causing her to take several days off work as she was worried about being treated differently because of her race, the tribunal heard.

But she has no problems at all being treated differently because of her sex. I bet she didn't take several days off work when offered a lucrative career opportunity because she's a woman

The tribunal heard that by September 2018, Mrs Bradbury – who was adopted and raised by white parents – had qualified as a field engineer and later became an Inclusion Advocate with Ms Cook.

So she was also a Diversity Officer?

After raising the issue with bosses, Mrs Bradbury was told she was being removed from her role as an Inclusion Advocate to protect her “emotional well-being”.

But not the right kind of Diversity Officer

She was later sacked for gross misconduct following an investigation that was launched when she failed to self-isolate after returning from Spain on a holiday in breach of government guidelines.

Now that grips my shit. Losing your job because you failed to follow some of the worst, most illiberal bullshit the Government has ever come out with. But that's a different story
