    Well would you rather have a DEI hire black doctor who has a GPA slightly less than a non-DEI white doctor? /s

      The answer to this of you hear someone say this earnestly is: Why would they have a slightly lower GPA? If anything usually when equally qualified candidates go head to head the white person still has a statistical advantage, even with organizations that have DEI in their mission. This would imply people in disadvantaged groups usually have to be more qualified to get hired.

      Can we just have the most qualified doctor regardless of race in place of the unqualified heroin addict? I’ll take that. They can be a black trans lesbian (or not for any/all of those) for all it matters, so long as they actually know their shit.

      Like RFK has already blown his stopped clock moment, and it was about food additives - can we get someone who will still do that bit but is also otherwise competent?
