They have since admitted it was a mistake and then rehired all the white ones.

I hate that I can't tell if this is satire.

it must be because in the case of RFK Jr he wouldn't really care about race; he'd just want anyone with proper medical education gone so he wouldn't have to hear the phrase "that's the biggest crock of shit I've heard" every day.

It's 30% satire. Some of the white ones were terrible Lefties that have been to a college and so they didn't re-hire ALL of them.
