    I think qualified people should be hired. May the best person for the job be hired, without even considering race, or anything other than skill. DEI is veiled discrimination.

      I don’t think you understand what DEI is or how it works if you feel that it is discriminatory.

      It just exists to make sure that people are given a fair shake not that anyone gets an automatic leg up.

      DEI programs are what let the best person for the job be hired. Without them people are discarded simply because of their name or race or etc etc.

      If you truly want the best person for the job to be hired you support DEI initiatives because that’s the whole idea and point of it.

      Shenanigans. We’re not hiring unqualified people. It’s capitalism afterall. There’s no tolerance for throwing out money.

      DEI is about making sure you interview people you normally wouldn’t for whatever reason. If they suck, they suck and don’t get the job. It’s not a quota.
