Are you running for the job? Because this kind of thing has never been said by anybody in charge of anything in the history of the world, and all......

There's a fine line between coddling your constituency and challenging them to step up to a challenge. This mayor had NO idea where that line was.

Oh, this is NOT a good thing IMO and it doesn't end well.
Then you will enjoy a major U.S. healthcare insurance provider notifying PCPs that it would be beneficial to consider the race of a patient, and suggesting the PCP share via a PCP profile their own race, since many patients have (according to research conducted by the healthcare insurance provider) indicated a concern that a PCP that does not understand the social nuances of the patient may not be as helpful to the patient seeking healthcare, and that there is evidence that patients of a particular race and social condition are less likely to receive equal treatment when the PCP is not of the same race and social understanding. I think part of the problem is that Western society has lost sight of how good we actually have it.
I mean, in the West, even those who are not doing so well are likely living better than 99% of the rest of the world. I heard the other day that people who make $30-40K a year are in the top 1% in the world in terms of income.
And when we lose perspective of how good we have it we start to nitpick that things that really shouldn't even register on a scale and come up with ridiculous things to disagree on.
I always said that there are better ways to live than under an authoritarian rule but there are some benefits to authoritarian rule that we can learn from and one of them is that when our freedom is taken away we stop worrying about all the petty things that consume us now.

Here is the latest WandaVision villain rumor. It argues that China will not allow it to be Mephisto.
This directly opposes the most popular WandaVision villain theory, which claims Mephisto, the Marvel universe's equivalent to the Devil, is actually behind Westview. This theory, however popular it is, doesn't hold up to the strictest scrutiny. One of Marvel's biggest markets, China, banned any media that "promotes cults or superstition." A depiction of the devil in a post-Satanic Panic world may mean Mephisto is off the table.

For context, United Healthcare Apparently they're the 2nd largest healthcare provider in the US.
Are saying that it's their policy to take into account race?

Most people have no clue how much power China has in Hollywood (and in Joe Biden's family )
That's an easy fix for Hollywood.
China prevented the Mandarin, one of Iron Man's earliest and greatest villains from being Chinese Communist Party and a real bad guy in the IM films and they just changed it so he was not identifiable as Chinese and he wasn't really a bad guy. In short, it wasn't Mandarin at all.
They'll probably do the same for Mephisto. They're remove any connection to Hades / Hell and make him some neutered, Chinese-correct, dull version of himself just like all the rest of Marvel's platitudes towards the CCP.
Maybe they'll make him Serbian or Russian as many other villains have been portrayed since the late 90's.
For the record I don't care if he's Serbian, Chinese, Welsh or English. I just hate the political pandering.
