cisgender straight white males need not apply

That’s the message from a Democratic National Committee data services manager, currently on the hunt to fill multiple vacancies in the tech department.

The political organisation, which routinely makes grand statements about inclusion, recently sent an email to its employees looking to recruit people for eight open spots including IT Systems Administrator, Product Manager and Chief Security Officer.

Though the October 30 email says that the DNC is looking for a “staff of diverse voices and life experiences,” it apparently doesn’t mean white men.

DNC’s Data Service Manager Madeleine Leader purportedly wrote in an email that the desire for diversity excludes “cisgender straight white males”.

Leader adds, “I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males, as they are already in the majority.”

And the Democrats wonder how they lost to Trump!
