CBC’S Casablanca moment
Re: CBC Hiring: “Any Race Except Caucasian,” April 30.
Every once in a while the curtain on the left’s agenda is inadvertently pulled back to expose their true intentions. Such was the case when an employment ad for a position at the CBC slipped out declaring the job was open to “any race except Caucasian.”
Larissa Mair, of Larissa Mair Casting, wrote the ad to literally reflect what the CBC wanted. While she is genuinely sorry for her mistake of being overly literal, any regret on the part of the CBC would only be because of its willful discrimination was exposed for all to see.
Leftists remain intent on legitimizing this form of discrimination, which many of them view as appropriate “payback time against whitey.” The hypocrisy of such leftists, who vaunt themselves as valiant fighters against all forms of discrimination, is galling to say the least. I do not believe a casting agency plucked the nonCaucasian requirement out of the air for CBC’s advertisement. Someone at the network had to give that exclusionary requirement suggestion to the casting agency. I suspect it was probably verbal as I cannot believe anyone at the CBC would be stupid or arrogant enough to commit that direction to paper — wait, actually I could. The funniest part is that a communications consultant who is identified as being “of mixed race” is among those said to be “shocked” by the CBC job listing on Craigslist “specifically said that white people need not apply.”
This needs a casting call for Claude Raines, who played Captain Renault in Casablanca to utter the immortal line: “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”
