I wish him the best and he should most certainly have a winning case.
I have bumped into this white privilege psy op too. Met a new hire the same day I was hired. He was a freedom minded person, read many of the same books, familial with Jones, Icke, Jordan, ect and even The Rappoport. We would be friends for the next few life times. 30 feet in the air on a construction sky lift, I finally responded to a comment he made about an hour prior. He said, the problem with everything is white privilege. The reason for my delay wasn't because he was a chiseled big stone black man. It was I wanted to give him my best reply. I said, bro, I'm white, and I have no fu**ing idea what you are talking about. I paused, and said please don't throw me off, but I don't know what you mean. We'll, I was disappointed because I lost a new Luke minded freedom loving friend to this psy op. And I have no idea how I am privileged because I wasn't told.
I've told this story to others, and one Justice warrior looked me in the I and said, of coarse you wouldn't know. And I say, are you telling me I'm incapable of of understanding where you are coming from?
I'm white, and nobody know me, then they don't know me. So I sometimes broadcast to others when I'm the only white person around, hey I'm white privilege don't mess with me, croak of crap like that. I seem to have to do this kind of thing in front of others, to teach.
It is madness. And I would expect the same tyrannical response from most any US employer.
Isherwood is lucky to be in the UK, where employment law at least has a legal category of "unfair dismissal" and there's an employment tribunal that might gave him a semi-fair hearing. In most US states, you can be fired for any cause whatsoever (except sex or race discrimination).
I hope that Simon wins his case and sets a precedent against this groupthink tyranny.
What do you figure? Was it between 1985 and 1990 that HR arrived in every corporation? I think that's about the right time frame. HR departments are always a cost center, they never have a P&L to manage ... or to worry about. They're not there to grow the business, they're there to social engineer. I used to wonder where they got their ideas. Did they take annual junkets to Las Vegas, to attend the International HR Con? Not long after Personnel was replaced by HR, I had to attend pointless meetings designed to heighten my awareness about problems that did not exist. I was a living remnant of a Meritocracy. If you had the skill, the facility, the creativity, that's all that mattered. No one worried about skin color or sexual orientation. I worked with women that could draw circles around me –– could draw like angels. Then came those compulsory meetings. An hour and a half presentation asking us, Why doesn't Disney have any black princesses? During Q&A it was always a business manager with a P&L who gave the simple answer: "Currently, there's no money in it." ...And whilst I was cooling my heels in HR meetings, back in my office my assignment deadlines remained fixed.
