You've just hired your fourth disabled non-binary gender-fluid Asian-Pacific American and you think you're done?

Think again, bigot:

Being the first woman to hold the position of executive editor for The Washington Post, Sally Buzbee notes that no amount of diversity is ever satisfactory.

"I'm also conscious of the fact that we can never rest on the issue of diversity. My feeling is, no matter how much progress we've made, it's never enough."

This explains a lot.

It certainly explains why even after you've apologized profusely (dozens of times) for something you did years ago, you still get fired (ask Alexi McCammond).

You simply cannot bow deeply enough. You'll never be able to do enough. The woke mob and their enablers have too much at stake. Their livelihoods, their social status, and their sense of self is too wrapped up in feeling oppressed.

Buzbee, who comes to her new role from the Associated Press, was hired over three leading insiders (both current and previous) for the job, two of whom were white men (so they were obviously out). The other was a black man who left his post at ESPN earlier in the month to join the Los Angeles Times.

They lost their only obvious diversity play.

She replaces the previous editor who left earlier this year:

"In taking one of the most high-profile jobs in American journalism, Buzbee will inevitably face comparisons to Baron, who guided The Post to 10 Pulitzer Prizes. Baron also faced some internal dissension over his handling of matters involving race and diversity, among others."

Sure, 10 Pulitzers are nice and all, but what were the reporters' skin colors and genders? That's what is really important.

WaPo is making it clear where they stand on that tension going forward:

"We looked carefully for someone who shares our values of diversity and inclusion, and who is committed to prioritizing them in our news coverage as well as our hiring and promotion."

A newspaper is going to prioritize race, gender, sexual identity, and so on over the news.

Just a heads up to the folks running The Washington Post, the top 10 of which are listed below:

"No matter how much progress we've made, it's never enough."

It's certainly not enough if you think – like Blue Brain Ocean and so many other companies have – that you can get away with making your one black hire the managing editor of "Diversity and Inclusion" and call it a day.

And as long as we're keeping count, let's take a look at Jeff Bezos, owner of WaPo. His leadership team at Amazon consists of six top executives, five white men and one white woman. His board of directors consists of 6 white men, 3 white women, and one Indian-American woman.

Apparently, diversity is only for the little people.
