[@neverendingcrafts4u]

His logic doesn't make any sense. When you apply for a job, the only way to get an interview is if the HR department determines that you meet the qualifications for the job. From the interview, and your references, HR decides whether or not to proceed with the job offer. Also, once you get hired you are trained to do the job based on what that company wants done. No one is just given a job just because of their gender, color, etc. Some states also have "at will" employment. So, if you are not doing your job then you will get fired regardless of your gender, the color of your skin, or your status. To stay that "diversity" is forcing companies to hire un-qualified people is a slap in the face to HR and other departments to ensure that the right people are hired. For example, I'm a black woman. I have two college degrees. The USPS refused to hire me because they felt I was not qualified to drive an LLV because I have a vision impairment. I am a woman who struggles to park. Ask my boyfriend. I'm an excellent driver, but I can't park. I don't know if it's because of my race, or because I'm a woman, but the USPS made it very clear that I could not be trained to park anything. I literally knocked all of the orange cones down and I had male new-hires belittling me because I struggled with parking. So, I did not get the job. So you see, despite me being black and being a woman....I still could not get hired for the job because I did not meet the qualifications. USPS workers need to know how to park before applying for a job. My boyfriend has tried to show me how to park, but even he lost hope in me. I'm sadly a black woman who cannot park a car. ANYWAY, I don't know why TRUMP assumes DEI means unqualified people are hired. It certainly didn't help me get hired in that situation.
