Discovery Channel should send her a letter stating that they would love to have her as a shark expert but that focus groups show that viewers like to watch people that are likeable and not bitter wet dishrags.

WaPo is almost as bad as the National Inquirer. All they care about are clicks and stupid stories like this work because stupid people click on them.

So Washington Post did an article on a woman who wants more diversity during Shark Week.
So Fox News then does a story on the Washington Post doing a story on a woman who wants more diversity.

OK.

Doesn't mean that the Washington Post THIUNKS there should be more women -- it means it reported on someone who wants more diversity.

And can we agree -- I think this was done tongue in cheek. (note the article was written by an intern at the Post).

The programming featured more White experts and commentators named “Mike” than women, said David Shiffman, a conservationist at Arizona State University who was a co-author of the study. https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...versity-study/

Let us all embrace our mantle of racism, bestowed by the left, as the honed weapon it has become, rather than how it once was defined.

And like the left uses projection, project it back onto the accusers.

Consider one person made this claim, not an entire movement. the media steps in and does its best to kick up a storm to make their sites more attractive to paid ads.

Media, in that way is racist.

Now that we established all breathing humans are racist, the left will have to take another tack to destroy and invalidate people opposed to their hate and fear mongering.

Well sharks are kind of Racist. There is one that is called the Black Tip shark but sitting at the top as the apex is the GREAT White. I wonder if the KKK had anything to do with naming that one? They are not even that white but more of a grey.



Is it really racist that not as many Black guys as White choose to study Marine Biology? If memory serves Shark week has had plenty or Black celebrity hosts. Is it Misogynous that there are more men than women in the field ? Where is the representation from the LGBQTIxyz community?



When will this nonsense end?

You racists --- I'm more concerned about the number of Mikes who wre chosen as shark experts. Clearly there is a bias to Mikes.

Systemic preference for Mikes in the world.

I can only hope that in this era of wokeness and pointing out too many "white men" and "lack of diversity" and just how common it is that your attempt to describe the complaints as a joke were done tongue in cheek.

Also, a number of other news orgs reported on the posts article.
