Hiring based off of physical characteristics rather than skill, what could go wrong !?

For one thing, it is illegal under civil rights laws in the USA to hire or decline to hire based on physical characteristics.

ANY consideration of DEI in hiring will diminish merit absolutely. Even if discrimination did exist in hiring, the solution is not to counter it with another form of discrimination - that is hypocrisy. A genuine solution cannot be found until we face reality.

The trouble with this class is that it did not include an explanation of how diversity, equity, and inclusion actually affect the workplace. For most jobs, diverse perspectives are less important because job tasks are performed through standardized procedures and judged to be successful once the purpose of the task is achieved. Equity, as opposed to equal opportunity, is implemented through seeking equal outcomes by group identity, rather than by job performance. The fairness sought by equity tends to replace merit. This turns fifty years of social progress on its head as one is no longer to be judged by one's "content of character," but rather by one's identity in a given group. This seems designed to be divisive rather than unifying.

The problem isn't about being 'excluded', it's about making the effort and paying your dues to make yourself 'includable'. Everyone in America is just as 'free' to become a/the: - world renown scientist as Neil deGrasse Tyson, - POTUS as Barack Obama, - Hollywood icon like Sammy Davis Jr., - supreme court justice as Thurgood Marshall, - sports legend as M. Jordon, - king of pop as M. Jackson, and on and on... even POC if people haven't noticed. Everything else is just excuses.

You said "DEI can be a good policy to use for choosing the right person in whatever job." It's actually the opposite of that. DEI allows for the lesser qualified person to be hired only because of a persons race or skin color.

@@KemetledAfrica I’m a minority and was fairly confident with my progress until jobs became more DEI driven. I worked my way up, am a veteran and have an MBA. I thought I would apply for a leadership role but now I feel ashamed that majority of folks might assume I’m a “DEI hire”. I have also applied for positions that specifically call out DEI hiring and was not even referred for a job. It’s an excuse to promote some people. If you got “DEI certified” within the last 2 years you’ll definitely have a chance.

One major problem is accepting the fact that every issue carries equal weight. If you believe so much in DEI, for your next interview go in with a professional headshot instead of a resume/CV. See what the hiring manager says. Unless it's with a modeling agency, you won't get far; people want to know what you can do/have done rather than how you will look sitting at a desk.

A meta analysis just showed diversity does not increase or decrease your business productivity. Countries with more diversity are statistically not more successful than those that are more homogenous. Equity is based on myriad misleading or falsehoods about supposed historical discrimination, and the idea that inequality is inherently inequity, which is sometimes true but definitely not true all the time. Diverse opinions are not synonymous with racial or any other diversity, it is a Trojan horse to replace actual viewpoint diversity with only left leaning people.

@malissiajones77612 ай бұрын
I'm in favor of equality in opportunity or under the law, not equity. Resources are finite and redistributing them according to boxes checked means rather than merit that one group must be harmed while other groups are rewarded regardless of added value. And, no, different ideas or perspectives isn't reason enough nor productive enough to justify it. The whole suffers when productivity suffers because there is less to distribute. It's simple math. In the real world, some ideas just suck.

I would love to have had the chance to take your class and am excited to find your actual KZbin channel (I’m glad you have one). I trickled in here and heard you in other videos on other channels comment on ratios of female hires at Penn State. I’m currently working on a historical piece about the history of intellectualism and literary institutions in relatively near by Hampshire and Hardy counties in West Virginia and we’ve been finding that our institutions before the civil war were coeducational and became predominantly or exclusively male postwar during reconstruction and our formal recognition as a separate state (for a period of around 100 years from 1760s to 1863). I’m excited to watch more of your offered lectures and I know this has nothing to do with dei but as you were kind of prompting your student to consider gender in his frustration, considering other videos, and trying to at least find the right channel to share this on, I decided to share this here this evening. I’d be interested to know what you know about Pennsylvania during that period and to hear your thoughts on that discovery generally as it connects to our concepts of progressivism etc.

Forget what the right-wingers say about DEI, listen, carefully, to what the activists say. Activists use "diversity" to refer to individuals rather than just groups. An individual "person of color" is "diverse" and a white person isn't. An individual woman or female is "diverse" and a male or man isn't. An individual "LGBTQIA+" person is "diverse" and a "cisgender" person isn't. Activists promote "inclusion" as "centering diverse people" and "decentering non-diverse people." What do you call it when you move someone out of the center? Marginalizing. "Equity" is considered "fairness," where it is "fair" to take from or deny resources to "non-diverse" individuals in favor of giving to "diverse" individuals. Those are all how DEI activists use the terms; pay attention and listen to them, carefully.

I don't find the history of DEI particularly interesting and perhaps Richard thought the same thing. BUT I think it would have helped if he could have defined what DEI is so that everyone is operating off the same definition. He kinda/sorta defines these. Diversity is different skin colors, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Equity is that every person gets the same reward for the same effort. Inclusion/belonging is that everyone gets a chance to contribute equally. I'm still interested in hearing from you on what you think DEI is and its practical application. By the way, he also pointed out that about 10% of workers in the US think that DEI is a problem. Meaning that 90% are either OK with it or have not voiced concerns about it.
