This is how the government appartus operates: first it creates a "problem", then it creates (well-paid) jobs to "fix" said problem. Case in point: a posting on governmentjobs.com according to which "the City of Seattle's Race and Social Justice Manager will provide leadership and vision to ensure innovative, effective strategies to achieve racial equity in the City of Seattle." The job will pay anywhere between $90,000 and $115,000.

Don't have a university degree? Fear not: clearly geared at millennial candidates, the posting seeks "any combination of education, experience and measurable performance that demonstrates the capability to perform the duties of this position."

Any aspiring race-equality crusaders must be ready to answer the following questions:
