The Democratic National Committee is hiring IT people for these positions:

The Daily Wire, a conservative blog, posted an e-mail purportedly from Madeleine Leader, the DNC's Data Services Manager, showing her announcing the openings and writing

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

The Daily Wire blogger posted a different screenshot of the e-mail on Twitter.

    The BBC has reached that point too.

    Racism, after going rather firmly out of fashion for a bit last century, is suddenly coming back with a vengeance, and it's coming back from both sides. Being racist and proud of it is the one thing the SocJus and Alt-Right lunatics all seem to agree on.
