Didn’t take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.

      There’s always room for colored workers at the back of the bus or the front of the chain gang. Segregation has been a tool for dividing and conquering the working class, by shoving a minority of the population down and telling everyone else they’re next if they resist.

        Very true, but what I’m saying it’s a chain where it goes from ‘diverse employees are bad’ to ‘white employees in front, black employees in the stockroom’ to ‘white customers get to use the front door, black customers go to the loading dock’ to ‘white customers only.’ And that is the end goal.

    Dropping DEI makes sense. Just hire the best person for the job, regardless of skin color.

      The worst thing that actually happens is if they happen to meet with two applicants with the same exact skill level, they will hire the one from the more diverse background.

      Also if a bigot happens to be e.g. a “10x developer” (does not truly exist), I wouldn’t want them anywhere near my company.

      What you and most other anti-DEI people fail to realize is there inherent value in having people on the team from different backgrounds with different views and ways of finding solutions. The best person for the job is not necessarily the person who has the most training or experience in an area. Outside the box thinking often leads to better outcomes, so there is value in having people who think about/see the world in different ways.

      Good thing there’s absolutely no evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people, am I right?

      But do tell me you think a resume by a woman named LaShonda has a chance of being taken as seriously by a white HR manager than a resume by a woman named Mary often enough for this to not be a problem.

        “1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White Men”

        “48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications”

        -Source

        I have now shown you evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people. I would appreciate if you would not make such a statement in the future.

          You didn’t “show evidence” you utter fucking cabbage – you just went conclusion shopping on Google to find the first fucking piece of unsourced “trust me bro” garbage that you thought would support your opinion.

          What you call racism is actually society pushing back against racism. We would all appreciate it if you stopped supporting bigotry now and forever.

            Telling one to stop hiring individuals based on their race isn’t pushing back against racism, it’s just racism.

              You just won’t concede that racism exists, and has existed in this country since its founding, will you?

              I mean, that’s the crux of the argument.

              Either our country’s education system failed you terribly and you’re just incapable of continued learning, or you know fhe history and don’t care.
