Trump Ends Diversity Test, Declares Merit Means White-ish
In a move thatâs about as subtle as a foghorn at a meditation retreat, the Trump administration finally ended a forty-five-year-old decree from the Carter era that tossed standardized tests to prioritize racial diversity in federal hiring. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon insists this 'hampered the federal government from hiring the top talent of our nation' and boasts about reopening jobs 'based on meritânot race.' Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro quoted MLK Jr.âs 'content of their character' like itâs the latest iPhone feature explaining why dismantling decades-old anti-discrimination efforts is progress.

Trump & crew just hit 'undo' on 45 years of anti-discrimination like itâs a bad Tinder date. Merit-based hiring = white noise? Put that MLK quote on a coffee mug and call it irony.
Removing a decades-old diversity test because 'merit' is finally here sounds like canceling math because you prefer counting on your fingers. Welcome to 2025, where 'equal opportunity' got evicted.
Trumpâs DOJ shredding civil rights legacy like itâs yesterdayâs homework: 'Content of their character' now means a Guy Fieri mustache and a white privilege checklist.
