Opinion The Not-So-Secret Society Whose Members Run State

People hear DEI and think "We have to hire this black female janitor as a pilot because if we hire this white male commercial pilot with 25 years of experience we'll get in trouble.". You still have to be qualified for the damn job lol.
Well if job qualification is what really matters, then removing DEI is the right thing to do.
It allows everyone to avoid thinking some people are only there because of skin color.

We should all know that the intention is to reduce the number of minorities passed over. If all else is equal, they're supposed to pick the minority person within specified ratios. The real argument is about forced inclusion and reverse racism still being racism. By focusing in the skill color its impossible to move beyond racism. DEI though is made out to be a boogeyman leftist program through indirect criticisms. That's not to say it's a perfectly sound program. But arguing that unqualified people are SUPPOSED to be hired if they are a minority over white people is fallacious.

is it? why not move away from the program then, and ensure the "fallacy" isn't given more legs?
cause as it stands now, if i see a minority hired by some company, the thought process is - ah, very likely diversity hire. it's a very reasonable conclusion as long as programs like DEI exist.
 
Oh, now secret societies are a problem?

Also, props for the stills of a few horribly amazing films.
 
I can't read this without remembering Alex Jones and the Bohemian Grove stuff
I am already a member.
You get some sweet discount at Costco and 5% on gas.
Members being nice may also help to reduce or eliminate charges...​

It still amounts to the same thing. If jamarquavious is qualified with a rating of 90 and Adolphus Aryan has a rating of 98 you would still be giving the job to the less qualified candidate and over time making whatever field shittier each time you repeat the cycle .
 
- You got the reference of the 1989 movie Society?
Fuck! I missed it. I consider myself a bit of a cult film expert too so I feel ashamed. In my defense, I haven't seen it in a quarter century. The cover of the VHS used to give me nightmares though.

Being qualified for being a pilot is different than qualified for being a first tour consular officer in Mumbai
 
French whores would be more apropos.
Why have so many people starting using "apropos" as a synonym for 'approriate'? That's not what it means.

Also I think the French word for whore is 'salope' out of interest
 
Bullshit.
DEI seeks to engineer outcomes with specific representation in mind. I guess if you were of a mind to defend the idea, you could argue that this is not necessarily the case and it’s merely an anti-discrimination too. But I don’t see how you could look at the actual implementation in practice and miss the fact that DEI results in specific effort to boost certain representation, which has a direct impact on opportunities to members of other groups.

Re: the bold, that's a valid use of the term. Also, I speak French so I am familiar with that but I know my audience, as it were.

In any case, I am implying a lot more than "appropriate" with that comment. I know what it means.

These days I wonder a lot more about why so many people are using weary when they mean wary.
