    You do agree there are different levels of "qualified"? It is not some specific measurement. And that that is only the first criteria. Then comes experience and work record and a track record of success. But this IS about race and sex and whether that should trump qualifications and experience and a record of success.

    If you are hiring the top 10% then you are hiring white or Asian men. Where is the diversity?

    Nah, I'd take the arrogant guy and let him work alone if need be. If someone is getting along with the team how is he thinking outside the box.

    I don't have a problem with you picking your own team.

    Your team might end up better. People are individuals, and not their demographics, so it's always a gamble.

    Speaking of Doritos:
    Doritos Fires 'Brand Ambassador' Who Tweeted About 'Doing Thuggish Things' To A Minor

    'Well that didn't take long...'

    How is it "diverse" to be represented by a trans and admitted pedo who mocks victims of child rape?

    Samantha Hudson: -'Admitted to being a pedophiIe -Identifies as a non-binary trans girl -Openly mocked victims of child rape -An advocate for "annihilating, completely destroying, and abolishing the traditional family"'

    And not a fan of law enforcement.

    How about we just go back to wholesome, normal, and hire the most qualified rather than these folks?

    So you don't believe that anyone but white or Asian men can be in the top 10%.

    The absolute stupidity of the left is always on full display. They want to treat everyone like elementary school kids, finding something to give even the dumbest kids medals for. This indoctrination doesn't stop in elementary school, it continues into adulthood where the left promote people solely due to DEI rather than have the best people in jobs. Maybe that's OK in jobs that don't matter but when it comes to jobs that are important for the country and for safety, we can't be promoting people just because they use letters instead of names.

    That will be a benefit for some jobs teams, irrelevant to some, and even a detriment to some.

    And equating that primarily (or entirely) to race is... Racist. Why do we always presume race equates to different life experiences and mindsets, rather than say, political views?

    Really, your argument seems to call for hiring by politics; ie to hire more conservatives into academia, and tell liberals there are enough of them.

    I agree with you. I don’t want to appoint people by their color, race, ethnicity all that. We need to appoint them by their qualification.

    You and I are not racist, we judge people by their character and not by their color.

    But my problem is, not everyone who are in authority like CEO of a big company, president of a big university are like you and I, who judge by character and not color.

    What do we do with that racist who judge others by color and not by character?

    What brought this fresh hell upon you? What makes you think people are hired that are not qualified for the job? Are you lamenting the rise of Donald Trump? If so, I am on the same page with you.

    You should ask how that worked out for Silicon Bank..... And just asking but when you're running a bank, and you don't hire bankers with experience, and instead hire the "variety of backgrounds" and your bank fails, should you go to jail for gambling with other people's money?

    It occurs to me that those most pushing DEI are also those most against Diversity, Education or Inclusion within their own ranks. When is the last time you saw affirmative action for conservatives as gender studies professors? Do they seem out diverse and opposing views to their own, or try to cancel them?

    I agree with you 100%.

    But my problem is , not everyone who is in authority to hire look qualification. Some do hire people based on color or gender.

    "Nobody gives a sh*t what color you are, who you live with, or what god you pray to"

    the right does....

    that said, I agree, hire the best you can for the job.... race and religion should not play a part in the hiring

    which is why corps hire foreign outsourcers that people can't understand.... so I guess sometimes a corp is will to trade quality for lower wages

    anymore, diversity in hiring, means hiring more Americans

    The problem with not having diversity or affirmative action enforced is you end up with various forms of nepotism, which ultimately leads to racism.

    Nepotism being for example, white Jewish Europeans employing other white Jewish Europeans, rather than someone more qualified.

    There are clearly benefits to nepotism but is it healthy for society at large?

    Interesting. Why is zero diversity okay in other parts of the world?

    "We are all beneficiaries of 300 years of the best and brightest dedicating lifetimes of innovative hard work to make this country the best there has ever been." Make America great again! Did you insist on rose colored intraocular lenses when they did your cataract surgery? Well that may be kinda true if you were a white male, but daddy's connections and if you had the right religion helped (Jews were excluded from Ivey League schools), but let's go to your point.

    "Diversity has spectacularly failed". Do you have any proof of that or is it personal bias, gut feeling or your already morose view of society? Facts matter.

    Do others make it there in comparable numbers? I don't read where the person said ONLY Asian and white men CAN but that if you have filled those positions with the most qualified and experienced with track records of success and without regards to race or sex then the majority will be white and asian males. Do you disagree with that observation?

    You don't believe this "nepotism" exist with blacks and women? Show me something that demonstrates the prevalence of white and asian males in top positions is due to nepotism and not the individual work and success of the person.
