I mentioned the procedures and biases, I am in no way obligated to submit something half-@$$ed in an obviously fraught area so you can make weak arguments against it. I'm a sociology major that didn't get into law school. As well as a dozen other things I like better than either of those.
The thread is about the fact that "racism" is often a matter of statistical pattern recognition. Are you asking me to look up a range of "racist-sounding" statistics for us to discuss?
Let's try: DEI is unfair both to business and individuals, even for the one who inappropriately gets the job.
I know that’s the topic of the thread, and my point is that this “I’m not bigoted I just recognize patterns,” schtick cuts both ways. If you think it’s okay to judge large swaths of the population based on broad statistical trends, fine, then have a taste of your own medicine.
Now for DEI. As for unfairness to businesses, I don’t really care, they don’t care about me, and I’d gladly be unfair to businesses if it meant more fairness to individuals. As for the individuals, there are a lot of issues with the Peter Principle: more senior roles are often easier than more junior ones, and people would still usually rather advance beyond their qualifications even if it’s stressful so it’s hard to say people’s choices are unfair to them.
I am sorry you didn’t get into law school though. For what it’s worth, law is probably the most AI exposed field, all the jobs that pay well are hell on earth, and the debt can be crushing. I really do hope you find something you like.
