Diversity Thursday II: Electric Boogaloo

A member of the Salamander underground found a goodie. Here is the all-important Diversity presentation, given at the Navy-wide Career Counselor Symposium this week, can be found here, or just enjoy it below.

Our insurgent though is a happy warrior. He has decided to help us digest it a bit by making a drinking game out of it. Here are the rules:
  • Slide which contradicts another slide: 1 shot
  • Slide which utilizes quotation marks to emphasize exclusivity: 1 shot
  • Slide which introduces the definition of an acronym which has been used for the prior 4 slides: 1 shot
  • Slide in which the term "minority" is represented with more than 50% of the pie chart: 2 shots:
Oh, as for Slide-10. I owe URR a beer. Yep - empire building. I wonder though if they will ever consider the genetic fact that most "Hispanics" are as "White" as Sven Hammerstrom? No, that would be too hard for them to get their heads around. I wonder if they also understand that a much greater percentage of us are mixed. Heck, my family is White, Hispanic, and/or Amerid depending on the needs.

That makes their numbers messy. Funny thing too - they don't mention Asians in their academic stats much, do they? I wonder why? Ahem - then again - this is never about truth anyway, is it?

Sigh. Enjoy.

UPDATE: As this blog's readers continue to leave me gobsmacked with their attention to detail in outlining an unbending parade of fail that is this PPT. In case you were wondering if this was some poor NC1 who only had a few minutes to push this out in time to brief it - well - here is the CV for the author. Read it and cry the beloved Navy.
