Use of the word "aesthetic"???
I've just used this word on 606v2 talking about the Premier/Football League creating their own version of the NFL's Rooney Rule.
It felt like the right word to use. Have I used it correctly?

It's well intentioned but flawed and can be easily manipulated so someone who doesn't want to hire a minority can just hand out an interview as a going through motions act.
It's also been called out recently by former black NFL coaches who think it should be altered to give minorities better chance of actually being hired. This offseason two head coaches and a GM who were all black were fired and replaced by white men. There were 13 job openings all together (8 HC & 5 GM positions) all filled by white men.
It's just an aesthetic thing. Like when they said gays can marry in churches, but every church in the country can legally refuse them.

Re: Use of the word "aesthetic"???
I know what you are getting at but I would say no, a word like image would fit better.
Doesn't seem to fit unless I am mistaken
aesthetic

Re: Use of the word "aesthetic"???
I think the 3rd point kind of covers it. It has the sense of beauty but it isn't? Like it's just to appease the ones who feel wronged without really changing anything.

CJ and Jonzee will love this semantic styled discussion

Loving it!! Completely the wrong word by the way. But can't think of the correct one off the top of my head.

Haha. It's bugging me that I can't quite come up with a more suitable word. I know what you're trying to say, but 'aesthetic' just doesn't quite work.
In fact, I'd probably be inclined to use a word you used in a later post - 'appeasment'. Ack, but now I look at it, that's not quite right either.
Buggrit.

At work, some people like to have these types of discussions during meetings (in Latin sometimes!) and I do try to avoid them (snooze). However, I am not sure facade covers it.
It is more delicate than facade- semblance or veneer perhaps.

"sop" was the word I was thinking of. But 'token gesture' is probably more polite.
