      A minority got promoted instead of him and he can’t admit that they deserved it.

        That’s a fun made-up story to tell yourself about a person on the internet you clearly have no information about. Keep telling yourself you don’t stereotype people though. You know all, clearly.

          Seems like I touched a nerve. Did you not get the promotion you wanted either?

        I’m a manager who’s tired of wasting my time interviewing candidates that were picked because they are a minority but actually not qualified for the job

        It’s a waste of time for me just as much as it is the candidate

        Also the last unix admin I hired was black who didn’t indicate on their application that they are a minority. He got the interview and then the job because he knew how unix worked. Not because he is black. Do you follow me?

          As a manager I have the ability to screen resumes and not interview people who aren’t qualified so as to not waste everyone’s time.

          You need to work on your hiring process.

          Do you follow me?

        That’s true but that’s not what DEI is for. It’s aim is to simply be inclusive and not exclusive. DEI was never intended to be a quota or to hire someone less qualified simply because of race. That is actually racism.

          Yet that’s how many orgs implemented it which is why so many people are against it. It’s not that DEI is bad, it’s that badly implemented DEI is worse than no DEI at all. But the pendulum ever swings and always with more momentum towards progress.

            Utter trash. Please show me the organization that hired more women and minorities than white males.

            The DEI pendelum allowed a few woman and even fewer minorities the chance at a job they could never get and now it is time to swing back to all white males again.

            It is an extreme sexist and racist overreaction, end of story.

              Could you explain how DEI works in practice. Not in theory or what it is supposed to do, but rather how companies implemented it and carried it out.

        Woah there buddy, it is women who have benefited the most from DEI. Depending on your reaction to this you can tell if you are really more sexist than racist.

          Doesn’t your point simply mean DEI encourages more sexism than racism, but doesn’t actually deny it encourages racism too?

            If you think giving a minority or women a shot at a job they would have never had the opportunity to get is racist or sexist then you have your answer.

              I honestly don’t understand your point. Can you clarify?

                You merely have to answer the question. Please state whether you feel it is sexist/racist or not.

                  I do think DEI programs are both racist and sexist. Now, what’s your point?

                    This is why DEI policies exist. To help people who are sexist and racist deal with their emotions and learn to respect all people. Thank you for sharing.

          That’s sexist

          You basically are saying women are inferior to men if they need to be given special consideration in the hiring process

            You are the one that said they are inferior. DEI teaches us that all humans have value and that diversity is good for decision making.
