Men’s Org Finds Perfect DEI Candidate: Tan, White Man.

Facing pressure from the university to diversify their membership roster, prominent Men’s Org Aggie FELLAS found a diversity hire candidate in Brock Swanson, a tan white man. He is allegedly sought by FELLAS for his ethnically ambiguous look which includes a  Bahamas vacation tan and $300 perm. Swanson is set to fast track through the FELLAS’ three-stage recruitment process and join within the week.

“I don’t really think it’s a problem,” Swanson said when asked for comment. “I mean, in a lot of ways I do count as a racial minority, since I’m, like, a quarter Italian or something. I’m pretty proud of my heritage there.”

 When asked for comment, FELLAS president Teddy Pilgrim responded.

“It’s the perfect solution,” Pilgrim said. “ After we fast-track him, we can put him in the front of all the recruitment since it looks like he could almost be not white, but in a cool way. It’s always a bit stressful going into recruitment season with the expectation of recruiting some non-white people, so it’s a big relief going into this fall knowing that we don’t have to do that this time around.”

 Swanson can be found front and center on the FELLAS instagram page with a polo and nametag and surrounded by  pale blonde execs, highlighting his ethnic features.
