Pfizer is offering a fellowship exclusively to students of black, Latino and Native American descent—prompting attorneys to blast the company for discrimination while predicting that it would not survive any legal challenges. The Pfizer “Breakthrough Fellowship” is described by the pharmaceutical giant as a “first of its kind” program that will work to “advance students and early career colleagues of Black/African, Latino / Hispanic, and Native American descent.” The company fellowship is aiming to “develop” 100 fellows by 2025 as part of its mission to “increase diversity by fostering a more inclusive workplace” while “cultivat[ing] a pipeline of diverse talent.” Those who are not from the minority groups

What is all the complaining about?
Similar criteria was used for Supreme Court justice nominee, vice President selection, and for Presidential press secretary and many more selections.
However, Pifizer, might require that their selections are at least qualified for the jobs.

ALL "affirmative action" has always been pure racism. Always has been, always will be.
Using systemic, institutionalized racism as a tool to "fight against racism" is a hideous inversion of logic. It was wrong, it is wrong and it always WILL BE wrong to discriminate based on race alone - FOR WHATEVER REASON.
Claiming pure motives is BS. It is still wrong.

Biden used similar criteria for most of his appointments.

The way to fight this is to offer even better scholarships for Whites Only. When the inevitable protests or lawsuits begin, point to this as a precursor.

Is it too much to ask that fellowships,etc. go to those persons demonstrating interest, intelligence and skills in the particular field?

Diversity, loosely translated means these groups have no skill sets and can only get ahead when backed by big government.

I would expect a white person would shun Pfizer anyway.

They want a lot more "equity" and less "equality".
Equality means the right to succeed or to fail, based on your own brains, education, work ethic, common sense, and ambition.
Equity is a handout -
Black whiner - "I want to get the same thing that guy got"......
Leadership - "But he worked for six years to get a BS and then an MS, got top grades and has been performing in the top 10% of our best people for a decade in our organization"......
Black whiner - "Yeah, I want what he got, without all that time wasting hard work stuff.....I want EQUITY, and I want it NOW or I'll burn down the city".

White people need to find alternative treatments rather than pay for this abuse from Big Pharma.

Pfizer is just using racism and "equity" as their new remedy/cure for any and all past discrimination (real and imagined). It does not matter whether the applicants are as qualified as the Asian or White applicants. What matters is that they are POC and the only way to cure what ails their ability to succeed is special treatment and opportunities disguised as a new remedy called "equity" and discrimination that tastes like special treatment. Pfizer just calls it a fellowship now.

This is payback to the Democrats for making them mega rich on phony Covid vaccines. It was part of the deal.

So long as they're not trannies taking away the girls' shiny athletics medals, what's the problem? Been standard for years as affirmative action.
