Discrimination in Chief Diversity Officer Hiring?

Doesn't it strike you as racist to take the position that poverty is linked to genetics?

When you claim disproportionate representation in poverty is not social, what are you claiming?


As posted, I didn't deny that there are small remnants of racism still today.

That's idiotic. White grandparents went to college and gave inheritance. Black grandparents were slaves. See the difference?

And society is still racist. Housing, employment, justice system... all unfair to black people as a group. There's no aspect or sector of society that's unfair to white people as a group because white people are the majority power.

But I am also taking the position that society today is the least racist society that we've ever had.

Better that you don't claim positions for others.

Better that you recognize disproportionate representation in poverty as a result of society.

Sue, don't cry.

P.S. By sue, I mean litigate. I'm not referring to you as a boy named Sue.

It's illegal and unethical to attempt higher representation of targeted members of a protected class by creating a hostile environment for the none targeted members of the protected class. In plain English: You can't create a hostile environment for men in the pursuit of getting a higher proportion of women.

The white trash you're inciting cannot afford attorneys. When they take a stand for white people, one will be provided.

That's not a claim that I made. You really should stop assigning positions to people who aren't taking them.

So what? At this point in society's history, there are fewer barriers to equal outcome than there ever have been, and more are being removed as time moves forward. What you are demanding is reparations and equal outcomes, regardless of the decisions individuals make for themselves. This is as ludicrous as it is neigh impossible to implement in any practical manner.

And society is still racist. Housing, employment, justice system... all unfair to black people as a group. There's no aspect or sector of society that's unfair to white people as a group because white people are the majority power.

If you want to self identify as a victim, no one is stopping you. The first step in not being a victim is to not think that you are a victim.

It is the fact, regardless if you think it's a platitude or not.

Better that you recognize disproportionate representation in poverty as a result of society.

Discarding the most important determinant of poverty, the choices that the individual makes for themselves? That's not a strong position to take in my view.

If you want to refer to people like James Damore as white trash, that's on you. Things would have turned out better for him had he lawyered up at the first sign of trouble. Look up the term contingency based legal fees and you'll see why your premise is all wet.
 
As if.

That (bolded above) premise fails based on simple math - there are 17M poor white (non-Hispanic) and 9M poor blacks in the US. If the proportion was based on poverty (alone) then one would expect that no more than 1/3 of NBA players would be black. If you further divide the poor by urban vs. rural/suburban and declare basketball to be primarily an urban sport then you get closer to racial parity (60% black?) but still not the substantial black majority seen at the college and professional basketball player level.

Discrimination in employment is not based on the total population. It is based on the pool of qualified applicants

Being poor does not qualify you for the NBA

He missed explaining it, though I do know what he's getting at.

The issue is that while many of these offices that are looking to uphold diversity. It can be surmised that they aren't exactly doing that, especially when it comes to many of them favoring minority hires over majority hires, all the time, or a majority of the time.

The actions of such group can be defined as pushing out one hire for the other, using the guise of diversity. Not to mention, the fact that hiring someone on the merit of their race alone. Is something that many people who've had to work hard to attain their position in life, simply don't like to imagine.

It would be just as wrong if every business, opened an office to ensure that everyone hired was of a certain height. Hiring them over anyone else that was shorter, despite whatever skills they may have, or whatever work ethic they possess.

I don't even know what a 'chief diversity officer' is and I can't imagine what woud make me search Linkedin for it. It looks to me like such a small niche it's safe to completely ignore it. Who cares? This complaint is no more valid than complaining that there's not enough Native Americans working at the Washington State Tourism Office, or whatever. It's all just looking for something to whine about which, come to think of it, is probably the reason for making that Linkedin search in the first place.
I hate to sound insensitive to SDET's sense of social justice but there it is...
 
SDET said:
I have an experiment for some of you to try: Go to www.LinkedIn.com and do a search on "Chief Diversity Officer". How many white males do you see out of the first 100 results? One, maybe two? This should tell us the true meaning of "diversity". It demonstrates that "diversity" doesn't include everybody.

Offends your sense of social justice?
If you searched Linkedin for 'chief diversity officer' you were just looking for something to whine about. Unless you're putting out your resume for the position which seems unlikely. Whatever- you Social Justice Warrior types will never stop looking for inequities to remedy, which I guess is your role.
 
"Chief Diversity Officer" is just another creative way of wasting money, and all the while capitulating to a group of whiners.

The city I live in has a "Chief Diversity Officer". The guy get's a 6-figure annual salary.
Meanwhile, the city is running a loss, canned several firefighters and cops and closed a fire station.

Where did I say that? All I said was a "Chief Diversity Officer" was a waste of money. Especially in a city which is facing budget shortfalls and laying off cops and firefighters.

Trying to paint me as a racist or something?

You're the guy with the personal story about how diversity programs are destroying his community. Got it.

So the Raygold fan boy wants to keep going...

If all you can do is call someone a white victim. Then it's obvious that you've got no actual ammo in this discussion.

Then again, you never do bring any intelligent talking points, no postulation based on facts, or merit and all you can manage to do is either personally attack someone, or denigrate their character.

But at least it's good to see that you never will change.

I have no idea who Raygold is but I know Rense is a Holocaust denying nazi and you push his blog.

Actually you find such positions in large companies and even in colleges, from high tier, all the way to community tier.

The job is basically what it sounds like though. To ensure that a work space has the right amount of racial diversity, with capability being a far third, or fourth consideration.

Actually, I used his blog to kick your ass and summarily make you lose your ****. Which is an event that you obviously continue to suffer from, to this very day. Because I didn't care for his holocaust denying, as that was not the focus of the topic. Which seeing as I'm resorting to telling you this once again Ecofarm. You suck at sticking with the topic.

The funny part is that even though I'm telling you this fact to your face, for what I think is the sixth time now. You still don't get what it was that I did to you. Which only continues to display why you are not well enough equipped to attempt conversation with me, or anyone else on this site.

You're still good for a laugh though, so there is that.

Now can you please attempt to stick to the topic and in general resist being you for a little while at least.
