    Diversity cost a good mate of mine his career, he was patrolling with a female constable. They had to detain a rather large islander, my mate had the offender in a headlock and told the constable to cuff him. She was unable to get the cuffs on him and my mate was back slammed on to a curb. This injury finished his career in the police force, this ended up costing the NSW government heaps and they lost a fair dinkum cop.

    Let’s get things straight here: a DEI hire is almost always going to be unqualified or under qualified for the job that DEI had a role in the hiring. PERIOD. This LA female fire chief never carried a body up or down a ladder which is exactly what all men had to perform in order to pass training for qualification as the lowest caliber as firefighter.

      Having a woman fire chief in a department is a heavily statistical outlier, even among the "equality focused" West. A lesbian woman fire chief? Even lower. This is counting the Chief of a Department AND the Deputy Chief.
      Somehow the LA Fire Department has 3 of them, and that is only possible due to LA breaking up their services into a bureaucratic mess. For the same reason that my city can have 1 sheriff department "precinct" to handle the entire city and LA has literally dozens alone, LA's fire department is broken up into a bunch of smaller departments.

    Re: the rape scandals, Rita, we don't accept it, in UK, we just do things by rule of law, unfortunately ..... but it's time for vigilantism, maybe. We welcome Elon and the other louder voices that have not allowed this to be buried any more.

    Hallo Rita and Douglas,
    I just need to 'vent'. My background is in nursing (mainly Paediatrics) and primary school teaching. I'm now retired.
    When I did my PGCE (my degree is in Anthropology) we were taught that books read to, or provided for, classes, needed to be about characters that reflected the lives of the children. What a load of codswallop! As a child I spent many summer hours reading in the apple tree, going to places and meeting people I would never go to, or meet, in real life. I didn't want to read about 'people like me' - I KNEW what my life was like. And this idea is terribly patronising because it assumes that children aren't able to understand other people or places or cultures.
    The problem with 'diversity' is that in the end everything becomes a rather nasty grey-brown colour - just mix watercolours to prove this. It gives no-one the chance to shine, it celebrates the good, if there is any, in no culture.
    I worked in India for just over a year as a nurse/midwife helping to provide health care in a refugee camp, and while India does have places where it's full of colour, when it rained the muddy roads would become a horrible 'colour'. I don't have a word for it.
    I wish I was as intelligent and articulate as Douglas, but sadly I'm not! I'm clever enough to know the limits of my own insight and need other people to teach me. I appreciate both of you, how you're able to explain things so that people like me can understand them, and I'm appalled.
    And what's more empowering? Is it reducing the greater to the less (the hero/heroine to the level of the reader) or is it to take the reader to places they could never otherwise be?
