I don't have a problem with who was hired. I do have a problem with jackasses who misrepresent my letters by acting in a manner entirely contradictory to the Ritual they purport to hold so sacred. If they actually paid attention to the Ritual beyond knowing the "secrets" and actually gave a shit about what it contains, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
SAE's Ritual, from 1856 to the present, has never had any room for racism or discrimination of any kind (at least apart from the obvious gender qualification, it being a men-only organization and all). The kind of ignorance and b.s. we get on grainy camera phone footage of menchildren on a bus on their way to a function that no doubt involved underage drinking, repeating something no genuine SAE would ever say, much less celebrate, is why SAE has an erroneous reputation of having a long history of racism. It would be more correct to say we have a long history of admitting to membership those who were and are unfit to wear our badge or our letters.
Same Assholes Everywhere, apparently.
