Do you just not understand the meaning of the word "If"?
Yes, "if" implies that there is a way it can be one way or another. "If he committed the crime" implies that a crime was committed and the sentence is looking at whether or not "he" did it. In your sentence, "if he's hired as a diversity hire" implies that he was hired and the sentence is looking at why they were hired.
You could very easily say you screwed up and typed the wrong thing. It happens to all of us. I often say, "you too" when a server says to enjoy my meal or when someone says "have a nice flight." Instead, you double down and insist you didn't say what you said.
Which is exactly what I meant. Glad you're clear on that now.
OK, so you are saying that it is possible it can be one way or another. He can either be hired or not hired. This is a mayoral spot, so there is no possible way he was hired.
Or are you saying it is possible he was hired either as a diversity hire or not as a diversity hire? Again, nobody was hired. It was an election. In no interpretation of "if" can you be correct.
