Didn’t take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.

    White people are not better at doing anything than other races.

    I think this is doing a disservice to one of the goals of DEI. White people are more qualified for certain types of jobs because historically they’ve had better access to education and healthcare. Even if access has become more equal lately, there are still other barriers that take longer to remove (eg. being the first person in the family to go to university, not having wealthy parents, etc.)

    DEI can counterbalance this.

      That has nothing to do with racial attributes though, just with racist systems. This distinction is important, and intentionally ignored by people who whine about diversity, equality, and inclusion.

        Of course. I just think it’s important to mention that there are societal reasons why there is a higher percentage compared to the general population of qualified whites applying for a job.
