Pride in Prejudice

At our company diversity covers a wide spectrum of attributes to include personal style, culture, age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, physical ability, education, experience, religion, family, citizenship status, socio-economic circumstances, education and life experiences. All employees are to demonstrate sensitivity to the heritage, beliefs and attributes of other employees, and those individuals they may have contact with in the course of their duties. Our company holds every employee accountable for supporting diversity efforts and creating an inclusive environment that values our employees, clients, suppliers and stakeholders.

Once upon a time the scruffy, the dowdy, the uncultured, the old, the coloureds, the foreigners, the queers, the foreign language speakers, the sick, the cripples, the poor, the illiterate, the waifs and strays, they all knew their station. You didn't have to respect people's worthless traditions and faith; you could tell others at work about them, too. You could keep them in their place; you didn't have to mix with them. You could tell stroppy customers where to go, bully your suppliers and give two fingers to busybody do-gooders. Whatever happened to the time-honoured unfettered discrimination practices?

What? Did I say something wrong? Who's pulling on my sleeve... Omigod! Am I on record? Stop. STOP!
