Florida governor Ron DeSantis put the brakes on discriminatory job fair the NHL was planning in Fort Lauderdale where anyone except heterosexual white men were welcome.

Hockey league scuttles criteria after administration criticism.
The Ron DeSantis administration is able to declare victory over a major sports league, which changed plans for a diversity job fair in South Florida.
Fox News Digital first reported that the National Hockey League has abandoned plans to hold a job fair that would have opened up opportunities to various groups historically marginalized in the United States.
The so-called “Pathway to Hockey Summit,” to be held Feb. 2 in Fort Lauderdale during the NHL’s All-Star Weekend, was originally tailored to “diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey,” according to a now-deleted LinkedIn post that raised the ire of the DeSantis administration.
“Participants must be 18 years of age or older, based in the U.S., and identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability. Veterans are also welcome and encouraged to attend,” asserted the previous event description, which drew the ire of a DeSantis spokesperson.
“Discrimination of any sort is not welcome in the state of Florida, and we do not abide by the woke notion that discrimination should be overlooked if applied in a politically popular manner or against a politically unpopular demographic. We are fighting all discrimination in our schools and our workplaces, and we will fight it in publicly accessible places of meeting or activity,” Bryan Griffin told Fox News Friday.

The revised posting eliminates any reference to ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and military veteran status.

“The Pathway to Hockey Summit is a career event, especially to encourage those that historically have not been exposed to hockey and all who are interested in learning more about career opportunities in the sport.”

The NHL distanced itself from the previous language as “not accurate,” suggesting that the intent was really to reach out to people unfamiliar with hockey.

“The Pathway to Hockey Summit is an informational and networking event designed to encourage all individuals to consider a career in our game – and, in particular, alert those who might not be familiar with hockey to the opportunities it offers,” the NHL spokesperson said.

The NHL seems to have extended its deadline for registration in light of the revised criteria.

Florida’s Voice reported that the original deadline for registration was Friday the 13th, with accepted applicants to be told on Tuesday Jan. 17. The updated posting says that they will now be told a week later, on Jan. 24.

Though the wording has been changed, reminders of the previous job search remain on career boards, such as ones from the University of Southern Californiaand the University of Pennsylvania. These postings still maintain that participants “must … identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability,” or be military veterans.
Rhonda is quite the dude. Here he saves the world from COVID vaccines.

I'm really happy that I'm not young today. I would hate if I had to treat the Cancel Culture demographic like peers, and I won't be around anymore when they inherit power. It's not as if any of them are going to earn it through talent or charisma.

There is no genocide occurring. Only population displacement. Use Toronto as a microcosm.

In 2041, 4 out of 5 Torontonians will be foreign-born or born to immigrant parents

Population of Canada would be declining if not for immigration. And these immigrants are top notch professionals making a significant contribution to our society. For example, most of the professors and graduate students in engineering and science faculties in universities across Canada are immigrants. Most of the doctors in the GTA are first generation or recent immigrants. There will be no software industry in Canada (or the US) without immigrants. So stand up and applaud immigrants 👏

The mere idea that POC can't be racist against White people is a belief taught and promoted at the highest academic institutions . This goes to show how strange and corrupt the social science are.

This is one of the unquestionable woke "laws" of scientism.
They can be and some of them are. Either in a negative way or because they fetishize white people. But what impact does their racism have as opposed to racism from white people? Perhaps if a significant minority were to live in countries where POC were the majority population, you'd have a valid argument. Not so in Canada or the US, where the majority white population dominates everything. So the racism from POCs doesn't matter. White racism on the other hand does because it has a significant impact on people and lives.

THE most important factor is culture. Culture matters. Crime rates, marriage rates, graduation rates. All matter much more than being 'an immigrant'.
I think you characterizing Mandy's comment to mean that immigrants succeed just because they are immigrants is disingenuous.

Yes culture matters. Nothing new here. Usually model minority immigrants - say Indian-Americans for example, come from cultures were the family structure is very strong. It is infact the case with Indians and Chinese where parents micro manage their child's performance in school etc., So they are more successful and they are model minorities.

But that is typically the case with people who immigrate. To immigrate to Canada they need certain educational qualifications, language skills in French or English, work experience and they need to be under 40. So essentially you are bringing in young, educated people who are likely to get jobs and succeed and stay here for the long term. That is why they become model minorities.

I grew up when Betty Crocker was a famous cook that make cakes and Aunt Jemima was a famous cook that made amazing pancakes and maple syrup. My understanding now is that Aunt Jemima was removed because it was racist but I guess in my own ignorance - I can't figure out why. Was it because she was a black cook ? Was it because she wasn't a skinny white woman like Betty Crocker ?

I apologize to those insulted but my perception of Aunt Jemima as an amazing cook is one I'll warmly embrace as a childhood memory.

Don't confuse performative anti-racism to actual anti-racism. That was done in the aftermath of George Floyd. Corporate performative nonsense is what it is.

Except for refugees, Canada admit immigrants based on a merit system. Ever notice how the majority of the top high school graduates in Ontario are Chinese and E.I.'s with a few Jews (yes, I know the wokies will say this is racist).

You might want to check on the validity of your claims. Aunt Jemima was a corporate mascot modelled after the plantation house slave archetype as seen on a vaudeville poster. Never was a real person. Neither was Betty Crocker.
