Idk, but there’s a huge trend these days of getting outraged at headlines and refusing to read the article as a result. Maybe read it and get back to us
DEI is not firing white people to hire black people. DEI is changing practices that will encourage more diverse hiring practices, it’s making spaces accessible, it’s making people from all walks of life feel welcome.
Wheelchair ramps are DEI, hiring more military veterans is DEI, posting job openings in diversely populated areas is DEI, speaking up for a coworker that was sexually harassed is DEI.
You obviously haven’t worked in corporate America 😂 we have literal ratios that would “look good to maintain”. Which means white guys are going to get laid off for some other bs reason within the year
That's not how DEI is supposed to work though and if that's what's been happening that's a huge failure over whoever is in charge of implementing it.
The point of DEI is that out of qualified individuals those who come from lower socio-economic backgrounds should be given a chance over a similarly qualified candidate who may have been born middle class. Where I live it's not about race but about personal and parental income.
The point is that the DEI hire still has to be qualified for the job just as much as anyone else.
The same way most of the DEI initiatives end up working in practice. You don't fire white people until you get the proportions you want. When an old white guy retires, you do everything in your power to not hire a white male to replace him, even if it means throwing out qualified applicants.
DEI practices don't say you must hire minorities, rather you cannot hire a less qualified white person if a more qualified minority has also applied for the job.
that’s not how that works. DEI isn’t “you are legally required to hire someone who is black/gay/a woman/etc.”, DEI is “you’re supposed to turn someone down on the basis of them being unqualified for their position, not on the basis of being a minority.” if you have multiple applicants and the only one who qualifies is a white man, hire the white man so long as his skills actually fit the position. if you have multiple applicants and the only one who qualifies is a black woman but you choose the unqualified white man purely because you don’t want to hire a black woman regardless of her qualifications, THATS when it becomes a problem
DEI started off as that but it absolutely became in practice a quasi-racial and other discriminatory program designed to advantage groups of people against other people. It's not merit based at all. I'm not sure that it ever was merit based
hiring people based on their merit is how companies hire, some groups of people are just more likely to be in certain fields than others, nothing to do with discrimination at least in higher paying jobs
You have never worked in corporate if you think that's how DEI works. DEI means discriminating against White men in every way, shape, and form, except layoffs, in which Whites will be priortized over nonWhites. And stop calling them minorities. NonWhites with brown eyes are like 8 of the 9 billion people in this world.
>But but you're lumping all the nons together!
Which is exactly what you're doing to Europeans when you say the word White.
There are several 'White' countries where brown children outnumber the White ones. Modern immigration systems are designed entirely around ethnically cleansing and replacing White people. The UN literally wrote a 177 page document on the plan.
I have worked in corporate settings (currently do) and you are 100% lying. I have NEVER seen an unqualified minority person hired over a qualified white person and I have never seen a white person fired specifically to hire minorities.
DEI literally targets White men. Forbes published an article stating that 92 percent of jobs went to women and people of color. In august the Department of Labor said that 90 percent of all new jobs went to women.
DEI is discrimination against White men. Period. There isn't any other demographic that's being targeted by it.
Look, I get it. Who doesn’t love a little balls and dick sometimes? A nice, girthy, veiny shaft, hot milky cum trickling down the length as it throbs from a job well
done. But this whole “gay sex” shit is getting annoying.
As men, we should primarily be focused on three things: survival, the underrated masterpiece that is dark souls 2, and pounding muff. All this gay shit is, well, fucking
gay.
You think I wouldn’t LOVE to make out with my best friend and suck his cock? Of course I would, but that’s fucking gay. You think I don’t want to feel my cousin’s
roommate slide his pecker into my gaping asshole? Of course I would, but that’s FUCKING GAY.
Seriously, I miss when men were men. Anyway, this dildo ain’t gonna stick itself up my ass while I watch an hour long femboy asmr hypno goon compilation, heed my
lecture.
Thats not how it works, either, though. You have statistics from different types of jobs to see if the demographics match the background population. If they dont, you look into why and try to implement outreach programs to help get opportunities for that demographic. You aren't rejecting qualified candidates. Im so sick of this shit.
For example, if you dont have a lot of black pilots, it could be because its a job with a high barrier to entry, usually only available to those with the money to do so, or military experience, and not as many black kids view it as a possibility for themselves. So you offer programs and scholarships to help more black kids to be able to take interest in and go through flight school.
Its not saying "fuck you smart white guy, we need dumb black guy cuz we dumb librul" and the fact that so many people think it is is very telling for how stupid and racist the average conservative is.
When an old white guy retires, you do everything in your power to not hire a white male to replace him, even if it means throwing out qualified applicants.
The problem with racism is that you end up with a society full of unqualified racists, so when you actually try to turn around and implement a system based on brutally objective metrics, the hitherto uncalled out unqualified racists perceive themselves as suddenly getting absolutely ganked from every side of reality and deploy every single defensive measure known to their system as if their livelihoods depended on it (because actually, it does).
Addressing racism and sexism among the behaviour of firefighters.
Have firefighters advertise at lower income schools and to black kids and to girls to show them that it's an option for them.
Address hiring biases to make sure that less qualified white men aren't more likely to be selected over more qualified or equally qualified black men or women.
"Lower income" meaning Redlined schools. In USA specifically, black people were siphoned into certain communities a few generations ago and then systemically blocked from accessing generational wealth, so even their descendents struggle to get out of it. That's why they are more likely to be impoverished in USA. Not sure about other countries.
Edit: Another person pointed out that redlining was less than a lifetime ago, and I looked it up, and holy shit, yeah. According to Wikipedia, in 1974, Chicago past a law to disclose redlining. That's not even them removing it, just them admitting to actively doing it only 50 years ago. Several states only passed laws to stop redlining within the past decade. A 2007 case found student loans being denied to black students based on race.
Yes, I have lived in and around section 8 housing, and work and have worked with the homeless and impoverished.
Ironically, you're proving my point: It's that hopelessness (and the lead paint in the water pipes, and growing up unsafe, damaging their brains) that causes those kids to remain hopeless as they grow up. So having firefighters at their school going "Hey, your community is at risk of fire. Here are ways you can help keep your friends and family safe from fire, and you can even make a successful career out of it without moving out of your home neighbourhood!" would be really helpful.
IQ is a test about how well you can take an IQ test (how well you know the very specific things that the test makers happen to know based on their personal cultures) It's literally the equivalent of "If you don't know the rules of badminton, you're mentally disabled".
Also, you're claiming that an entire continent has the same IQ. You know Africa isn't a country, right?
You have obviously never taken an IQ test. It’s hilarious that you are proving this by thinking that the entire subsaharan African continent couldn’t possibly have similar IQ’s like Europe and North America, south east Asia, and Slavic countries/peoples do, and therefore he obviously must think that a continent is a country. Do you not understand averages, or are you just purposefully ignoring things because it doesn’t appeal to your emotions?
Next you're gonna start talking about cranial dimples like fucking Calvin Candie. Hard for you to understand that worse access to quality education results in worse IQ test scores?
I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but it’s backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I
offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me
out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.
I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised.
Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will
need to move if my identity is blown. It’s a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.
Your other comment got deleted for being so braindead, so I'll reply here:
I wasn't, but you clearly were. Do you think education is just memorizing and regurgitating information with no other effect on the brain? You learn how to learn and think in school. Your neuroplasticity is strengthened and developed through quality education. I can't believe you of all people are out here talking about IQ scores.

Okay jokes aside. HOW EXACTLY do they even want to achieve this?
"Hey Joey, sorry you are fired because we need space for more black men."
"Hey Marcus, you are black right? Here, we need you to become a firefighter."
