BuzzFeed Canada Looking to Hire Writers — but 'Particularly … if You Are Not White and Not Male\

BuzzFeed Canada is hiring — but white males need not apply.

That's according to BuzzFeed Canada senior writer Scaachi Koul, who announced the openings in a tweet Thursday, saying the company would "particularly like to hear from you if you are not white and not male."

1. Would you like to write longform for @BuzzFeedCanada? WELL YOU CAN. We want pitches for your Canada-centric essays & reporting.

Koul went on to encourage her followers to send her pitches, with very specific instructions to email her at the address listed on her Twitter profile.

Koul later reiterated that if anyone is a white male and looking to pitch stories, "I don't care about you."

8. Last thing:

IF YOU’RE A WHITE MAN UPSET THAT WE ARE LOOKING MOSTLY FOR NON-WHITE NON-MEN

I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU

Koul clarified that white men are still allowed to pitch stories, but that she's "just less interested" in them doing so. "Because, ugh, men," Koul added.

.@danspeerin White men are still permitted to pitch, I will read it, I will consider it. I’m just less interested because, ugh, men.

Koul later stated that she is "looking to diversify."

@miguelesquirol @BuzzFeedCanada All are welcome, just know I am looking to diversify.

The online pushback to Koul's tweet was quick — and some held nothing back.

@Scaachi @BuzzFeedCanada finally, somebody who is honest about their racism and sexism against white men

One person even warned of "impending lawsuits" because the practice is in "direct violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act."

@Scaachi @BuzzFeedCanada This is in direct violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Enjoy the impending lawsuits!

The Canadian law, passed by Parliament in 1977, makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of "race, national origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability, or certain past legal convictions."

Koul did not immediately respond to an email from TheBlaze.
