    No it is not, not for Veronica Stein. Here's an excerpt from her LinkedIn job description:

    • Develop and implement anti-racist transformation efforts...

    Ok, so I guess that the arts are going to become the domain of nonwhite people.

    If this becomes a trend in the general workforce, then I guess white people will have to form white businesses to remain employed. Whoops!

    wondered that too, you can be a volunteer, or you can be paid employees

    that said, if employees, do not agree with firing them cause they are white

    sure the story is biased though, so not sure we can go by just that

    "Docents are trained volunteers who lead tours of museums, and at the Art Institute, they averaged 15 years of unpaid service."

    how much diversity will they get, just lucky to get that many to work for free, regardless of race

    They'll get ALL they're willing to pay for...hope someone gets back to us later with just how much "diversity" ( i.e. LACK of white faces ) they paid for. :D

    They intend to hire a diverse group of employees and pay money. I thought a museum had to be extra careful spending money as it's not a profit making business.
