University of Waterloo.
Canadian university advertises for tenure track research chair in its Faculty of Environment - but only women or people who identify as transgender, non-binary or two-spirit are allowed to apply.

White, male, heterosexual, need not apply.
If white straight men are so hard done by, they can always hold protests and rallies to fight for their rights just like everyone else has done over the years.
Just saying. :138:
A nice parade in Ottawa this weekend.
That's a start. :D

Are they hinting there is also a 'gender pathetic'?

There are only two sexes, two genders, and we know what women are. Confusion leads to despair, despair leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side. Once you start making stuff up, then the flood gates are opened to making stuff up.
^^^
That about sums it up.

Gender pathetic? Is that us "normal" people?

In case you're wondering,
GENDER APATHETIC:
Not caring about identifying as any gender.
Are those the people that will be putting an X on their passport and DL?

And the dumbing down of western "civilization" continues.
The fact that so many seem to care about the definitions amazes me ... in what way does someone else's gender make a difference to you? (generalization) ... I feel that most of the argument against recognizing diverse people is a lack of respect for an individual ...

As usual in these more recent times, the "flavor of the month", whatever and whoever it may be keeps getting JAMMED down everyone's throats........and if "you don't listen to ME you are a bad person."

.......does that sum it up?

The difference is you can't exclude to claim inclusion. If you do that is bigoted. Plain and simple.

Again, the way you describe it sounds like a personal problem ... if you don't agree with something and yet can't do anything about it, why vent to the nethersphere and just get angrier?

Nice deflection... how about explain how it's a good thing.

So for example rentals. Should they be able to advertise for their target audience and exclude other they don't think would be a right fit????. It's the exact same thing. You CANNOT advertise discrimination. It doesn't matter, sex, age, color, sexual orientation, religion. Discrimination is discrimination. Just cause you agree with it doesn't make it right. Bigoted is bigoted

:up: :up: :up:
Your 100% right. It's not right. It is all part of certain movements being used by certain governments to support their PC policy and stance. It doesn't help teach anyone, anything but is purely discrimination and "Bigoted".
It is funny as we are seeing across the board in N. America that all these uses of claiming the new Woke PC stance clearly is showing a complete lack of the very thing they are trying to make happen.
The very thing they are wanting to claim and grand stand on.
The supporting people of these such incidents are hypocrites as their own support of it fails immediately when other uses of similiar discrimination is used in other area's as you point out only one.

But exclusionary rentals are advertised all the time ... buildings that only allow 55+ tenants ...

There is a huge difference between occupancy (may limited by infrastructure/safety) and racism.

Other than OP putting "racist" in the title of this thread I'm just not seeing how that term applies to this job listing ...

And most of the 55+ rental buildings are that way because they don't want the noise/activity that comes from the younger group, building insurance is cheaper for the older group exclusively ... and if you have a building full of people 55+ it will be easier to secure more tenants in the same age group since they are all of a certain group who like to have people to interact with who they can relate to ... sounds a lot like the fact that you hire someone diverse to attract other diverse people ...

So by your logic you would support adds that said no Trans or no colored or no jews???? Because it's about finding the best fit to attract others of the same. That is BIGOTED... woke is just the new racist/bigot.

Wokeism is a perverted new religion.
Wokeism is a Marxist inspired movement that started off with well-intentioned people that wanted to stop racism and social injustice. It has now morphed into a cult that seeks to silence all of those that disagree. At first, using social humiliation, but now graduating to violence through Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots.

Wokeism demands equity not equality. It seeks to destroy all norms, to redefine words, and destroy objective science in order to create a Marxist Utopia. Instead of reducing racism, this new anti-racism is just racism by a different name.

Considering the odds of having someone with a diverse background applying for a particular job I don't think that would need to be said ... the employer could easily just be silently discriminatory and not have to worry about the fallout

If the job in question had a requirement that would cause a particular classification of people to fail I would expect that to be outlined ... do you feel that a rabbi should be applying for a job with the catholic church when their is an opening for a new priest?

You just compare a rabbi applying for a Catholic job ( which is insane as he s not even qualified for the position). To purposefully excluding people in advertising. Try to justify bigotry is just more bigoty.
