DNC: White men shouldn't apply for tech jobs | Fox News

White men need not apply.

That’s the message out of the Democratic National Committee’s hiring team, currently on the hunt to filll multiple vacancies in their tech department.

The political organization, which routinely makes grand statements about inclusion, recently sent an email to its employees looking to recruit people for eight open spots including IT Systems Administrator, Product Manager and Chief Security Officer.

Though the Oct. 30 email says that the DNC is looking for a “staff of diverse voices and life experiences,” it apparently doesn’t mean white men.

DNC’s Data Service Manager Madeleine Leader purportedly wrote in an email that the desire for diversity excludes “cisgender straight white males.”

Leader adds, “I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males, as they are already in the majority.”

Cisgender is a term for people whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned to at birth.

The Daily Wire, which first reported the incident, posted a screenshot of the email sent to DNC insiders.

A request for comment to the DNC was not immediately returned.

Welcome to the “new” Democrat party!
 
The real racists
 
I saw that earlier. As an IT professional, while it is true that white men as well as Indians and to a lesser extent, East Asians, dominate IT departments, it is not because of discrimination. Instead, it is because that is by and large who goes into the field. If your pool of qualified candidates is largely white guys and Indians, then your department will largely be white guys and Indians.

The DNC needs to figure out that you can't win with identity politics when they other side is doing it too, and their demographic (whites) are far more geographically spread out than your demographic (minorities).
 
In the name of diversity, they should higher lesser qualified candidates based solely on race. To monitor their servers and email networks. I mean...what could possibly go wrong?

Right. The DNC will just end up hiring an indian guy in order to meet these requirements. How that's considered inclusive is anybody's guess. Certainly not the case in this industry!

We have 3 women developers in our group. They are really good. If the DNC is concerned about diversity in IT, then they need to encourage more women to go into the field.

Application & Hiring
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a job applicant because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. For example, an employer may not refuse to give employment applications to people of a certain race.

An employer may not base hiring decisions on stereotypes and assumptions about a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

Democrats Hire McDonalds fry cook, felons, and thieves as their IT staffers. Some even had no experience.

Awan’s brother Abid had a rap sheet with multiple offenses, including a conviction for DWI a month before he was hired, and filed for bankruptcy in 2012.

Is he currently wanted for a crime?

Now I agree that race should no longer be the criteria for hiring and firing and one might wonder if this is not a violation of federal law...as race and sex (not excluding white males) are protected against such discrimination by law.

But the question I posed was about having a criminal record. Perhaps this individual did have sufficient IT skills for the job, and if so...as long as he paid for his prior crimes why shouldn't he be allowed the job?

I agree there are two women on our team. People are always surprised when they come out and see that.
 
The DNC was also considering writing off white voters as part of their party's base when they were trying to find a chairman. To see this doesn't surprise me in the least bit. They've already proven to be racist against white people, and for those white Democrats, they love to shame those that are white and not Democrats themselves.

Race isn't a trait that should qualify or disqualify someone from a job..... There shouldn't be quota slots specified for any race of people. That is the definition of discrimination.

So once you have hired the requisite number of white males, you are excused from following fed. law?? Personally, I like what the DNC is doing - they are potentially avoiding hiring the most qualified people (no, I'm not saying that the only qualified people are white males, just that if the best is a white male, they just excluded him from being hired), they are most likely getting people who are less qualified. That means that they will be less efficient and anything that makes the DNC worse at doing it's job is A-OK with me.

I didn't see anything suggesting that they should be disqualified, i simply saw someone in charge of a diversity initiative encouraging more diversity.

I also didn't see any mention of quota slots.

Any more strawmen?
 
Debbie Wasserman Schultz already follows that policy...

Are you under the false impression that encouraging diversity violates federal law?

I find it shocking that right wingers, who refuse to hold public sector police accountable for racial discrimination, seem to be overzealous in whining when the private sector does anything to threaten white supremacy.

In a system that includes racism where white people are in the majority, the qualifications of whites will be overstated relative to the qualifications of minorities. The fact that the minorities qualifications are understated may be less of a difference in performance and more a difference in opportunity. Diversity initiatives attempt to overcome the opportunity disparity of an imperfect system.

Wow...
So you tell me, if a white guy applies to that job and gets declined... because he was white... does that not mean he was disqualified from the position... because he was white? As you know, they intend to NOT hire ANYMORE white males... simply because they are white and male.
The definition of Qualify I am using is to: be entitled to a particular benefit or privilege by fulfilling a necessary condition. The condition, in this case, is you have to not be white, male, or cis gendered... to Qualify for the position. Since you are not Qualified... you are disqualified on the basis of not fulfilling the race requirement for the position.

Also tell me...when a limited or fixed quantity of a particular thing that under official controls can be fullfilled... what does that mean? I'll save you the research.... it's a Quota. And how does this apply to the situation? Because the employer has determined there are too many white males(their personal "quota" of white men whatever they deem as too much has been fullfiled) and now they ask to not have any more straight white males, because they have reached their quota.

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but I am really confused by your response... it seems completely obvious.

We've hired enough white guys, so don't hire anymore = quota slots in any language. No straw an about it.

'The pursuit of race, gender, ethnic & economic equality is utopian.' The passion, of architects, pursuing this mostly leftwing notion
seems to be the product of envy & resentment.
 
I wonder if all these SJW's are going to come out against this actual deliberate racism.

This **** is 100% unacceptable, disgusting, and should spark national outrage.
