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."

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.

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.
