Comment on DEI, more like DIED

  This is a reasonable fear in a world where pilots are hired based on their status of being a minority. Is it not? That was the whole point, DEI practices enforce the ideal that minorities aren’t qualified.

    At least you admit being a racist. Good for you!

      If you learned that your new surgeon was hired strictly because she’s a white woman, is it racism to be skeptical of her qualifications?

        DEI means hiring a diverse pool of qualified employees.

        But you know that. You’re just arguing in bad faith.

        See why these “debates” are so pointless? It gives a thin veneer of intellectual rigor to bigotry and white nationalism. And the guy “just asking questions” will argue in bad faith or just outright lie. Like Charlie was when he was shot, trying to pretend that the majority of mass murderers aren’t straight cis white men.

        He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

        So, how would someone debate “kill homosexuals”? What’s the counter argument?

        If if if.

        When in your life did you learn that someone doing something important for you was hired BECAUSE of the color of their skin?

        Shut the fuck up you fucking loser.

    A simple DEI policy would be, for example, to remove the name from a resume before passing it over to the hiring manager for initial selection. That reduces bias against ethnic groups, religions, or genders.

    This should in no way reduce the qualifications of the candidates. Quite the opposite.

    How is this a hard concept? You still have to be a pilot, you just can’t have a policy - tacit or explicit - of only hiring white men.

    Couldn’t you have gone with the idea that it’s “taking jobs from white men?” Then I could point out that there isn’t a limited pool of specific unemployed people you have to pick from, and that even if you give a job to a white man it’s still taking a job from a different white man?
