I don’t math as good as some but..

Taking this workforce diversity training and it tells me 60% of the workforce is made up of minorities….
I thought %60 was a majority of %100.
And if we are to teach respect to diverse peoples why are we pointing fingers at them and placing labels. Why can’t Sue just be Sue. And James just be James?
Sorry off topic.

Don't fail logic - some places it counts as a math credit.
This is a fallacy, specifically, equivocation. - aka calling two different things by the same name. Equivocation fallacy resulting from the use of a particular word/expression in multiple senses within an argument.
Thus you are considering the term "minority" with two different definition and using the difference between the two to claim an argument. In this case "minorities" would be a group of specific demographic categorizations, while you are also mixing the more descriptive "mathematical" definition.
For example,
All coots [waterfowl] can fly. Sue and James are a coots [a member of the illiterate bed-wetting poor football-playing sister-lovin' university OF south carolina and correctional facility)]. Therefore, Sue and James can fly. (splat)

A rhetorical question

...I'm sure, but I'll bite.
The answer to your question is Cultural Marxism.
Equality and equity cannot occupy the same space. Cultural Marxists hate equality (equal opportunity) but love equity (equal outcomes). The only way to accomplish their goal of equity in America is to destroy it's culture, foundations, and re-write it's history by mis-representing and distorting the truth.
The strategy is simple. Divide and conquer. America ends up like a version of China, The Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, etc...
Cultural Marxists are really just Communists barely in disguise. They hate America and want to destroy it.

Ill bite too
Not quite.
Be careful, "cultural marxism" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Tread very carefully in those waters.
Marxism is actually very much about the "equal opportunity" it is kinda a fundamental tenet. However, there is also a value to both measuring the process and outcome. If there is an inequality during the process that also results in an inequality in the result, well, they have that critique too. However, that isn't necessarily applied within the modern American political context.
Next, don't assume that authoritarian "communism" is the same as marxism (and really you need to dive between what Marx and Engel said too). We can point to some really bad authoritarian capitalistic examples too. The issue isnt the economic theory there, but rather the issues with tyrants. Sic semper....
Now, I am far down the line of Mills/Smith in my approach, but if you are going to call out the "other" side, then you need to know it better than they do.

I've seen zero proof of that. Marx was a World-Class bigot though.
"Next, don't assume that authoritarian "communism" is the same as marxism (and really you need to dive between what Marx and Engel said too).

I don't, and I understand the difference between Marxism/Communism, and Totalitarianism. But, I understand your point.

Some light reading below. I think you put sociosm, marxism and communism in the same bag and shake them up long enough and you can't tell the difference. I love what Margret Thatcher said about socialism "the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Three Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It | The Heritage Foundation https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/three-nations-tried-socialism-and-rejected-itThree Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It Socialists are fond of saying that socialism has never failed because it has never been tried. But in truth, socialism has failed in every country in which it has been tried, from the Soviet Union beginning a century ago to three modern countries that tried but ultimately rejected socialism—Israel, India, and the United Kingdom.

Unfortunately we all know that the south didn’t win. We also all know that you never see southerners move to the north to get away from the political climate that exist that was created from that win. Now rationalize that all you want but southerners aren’t rushing to escape the toxic climate of the south.

Sue sometimes wants to IDENTIFY as James. So, "normal" people don't have a prayer of not falling afoul of some kind of Cancel Culture, the rulz are changing faster than a Joe Biden political position.
