Pete Buttigieg is doing some serious damage ‘woke control’ on himself and it sounds like his campaign. It’s no secret Pete has not exactly polled well with Black Americans, especially after that snafu with using stock photographs of Kenyans to claim black South Carolinians supported him.
Yeah, it was bad.
Wonder how this new tactic will go over:
Buttigieg staffers circulated a survey of microaggressions on the campaign.
"Please only fill out this survey if you identify as a Person of color," it read. Answers "will be used to inform our white colleagues about privilege and microaggression." https://t.co/UulPh9UkaA pic.twitter.com/oCRELaOopT

Yes, yes this is real life.

Don’t make that face.
We’re not the ones pushing the silly survey ALTHOUGH maybe we should look for Twitchy microaggressions.
Yeah, that’s it.
In the last two months, the Buttigieg campaign's effort to address its diversity issues included a staff retreat at HQ, additional sessions in three states, and two employee-led meetings to discuss grievances.
We have a recording of one of them. https://t.co/UulPh9UkaA

This is weird, right? Doesn’t treating people like they are ‘special’ sort of negate the whole idea of being equal? Just spitballin’.

Seriously.
I love when these politicians get dinged by the insane culture they helped create.

Yup. The Left created a monster and now they don’t know how to deal with it.
If I were a person of color I think I would call "person of color" a microaggression.

The whole thing just comes across as desperate and fake.

But MICROAGGRESSION!
Dems need to stop with identity politics! Just treat all people the same and encourage our people to find opportunities! That’s what will make our country great for all! That my friends is also treating the root of the problem!

Divisive much?

Just a little.

That’s what it really looks like.
