You are correct DEI is racist - Finally everyone, no matter color will have a fair shot

Whites have always had a fair shot. Only a disenfranchised uneducated white man would think otherwise. White men have been hired over more qualified minorities, just because they are white.

So you would agree the way to move forward is to hire someone based on their qualifications for the job and nothing else?

Honest question: if your son is having brain surgery tomorrow, do you want the blackest surgeon or the best surgeon? Personally, I’ll take the best surgeon. If he (or she) happens to be black, no problem!

You are assuming that black surgeons are not qualified. They go through the same rigorous training as white people.

I’m not assuming that at all. What I’m stating is that DEI initiatives were a route for minority surgeons (and pilots, and pretty much anything else) to get jobs over more qualified counterparts. That’s not debatable, it’s fact. I want the best surgeon, regardless of race. But I dang sure don’t want a lesser surgeon that got the job BECAUSE of race, which is what DEI accomplished.

So, did the minorities have to go through the same rigorous training or were their test easier? Unqualified white people get jobs all of the time.

DEI allowed them to get jobs over people who performed better in the training and tests. Quit pretending you don’t already know this.

There you go with your personal attacks, which are against the rules in this forum.  This is your public warning, if it continues you will get a time out.

Yeah whatever. It gives qualified minorities a chance. How many white people have been chosen over a more qualified minority simply because they are white?
