Biden Campaign To Hire 'Up-to-Date Vaccinated' DEI Director For $120k Salary
There is a new job available within the Biden 2024 campaign. It focuses on diversity. And equity, of course.
One can apply today and become the official Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Director of the campaign. The job pays up to $120,000 a year.
According to the official listing, the role requires above all else to ensure "diversity" across the presidential election team. For example: if you notice two white folks standing next to each other on the election team, it's your job to separate them and hire more people of color.
The role entails teaching staffers about the importance of DEI. The director will be responsible for implementing "DEI-focused workshops for management and other staffers in service of educating and up-skilling campaign staff on the DEI space and specific initiatives.
The director must also manage and report "on the campaign’s diversity efforts, leveraging best in class tools including developing an internal dashboard to support data analysis and reporting."
Find a gig more important to the foundation of this country than the DEI director of the Biden campaign.
We dare you.
Should you land the prestigious position, you'll assume power over whom the campaign hires.
Per the listing, the DEI director will influence "hiring practices and outcomes to ensure diverse talent is represented and successful in candidacy at all levels of the campaign."
Translation: if you see the election team prioritizing qualifications too much and skin color not enough, in best you step.
Sounds racist, doesn't it?
Of course, it does. DEI is, at its core, a fundamentally racist practice. In theory, DEI seeks to justify hiring and/or promoting someone on the basis of their skin color.
Consider DEI a form of Excused Racism, the presumption that society must discriminate against certain racial groups to achieve outright racial impartiality. The presumption promotes a lie.

There are also disputes over the legality of using skin color to hire a candidate. U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission commissioner Andrea R. Lucas argued in January that DEI hiring methods violate Title VII law.
"As a general rule, race/sex can’t even be a ‘motivating factor’—nor a plus factor, tie-breaker, or tipping point. It’s important employers understand the ground rules here," said Lucas.
Yet here is the election team for the sitting U.S. president advertising a job opening for a role to police the employment practices of the campaign, thus ensuring that race is a motivating factor in the hiring process.
Anyway, you can apply for the job here.
But, wait, there is a catch.
Per the campaign, "Biden for President requires all employees to be ‘up to date’ on COVID-19 vaccination status as prescribed by the CDC as a condition of employment."
