Lol. Did you not follow the recent Supreme Court case dealing with race based admissions at universities? The bias that administrators were showing in favor of URMs was extreme
One reason why I made this community is because on a GRE subreddit, the mod would actually lock threads that even talked about how URMs can get accepted into graduate programs with low scores compared to whites and Asians
So I will give you credit for explaining everything in a step by step fashion, but it's a fact that university administrators were weighting candidates based on race, which, thankfully, was recently made illegal.
I also would like to point out that I haven't attacked you for your position, yet if I were to explain my own anti dei position, I'm at risk of being fired from my job, doxxed, etc. So the spirit of free speech is essentially dead when it comes to anything surrounding "people of color" or any other group that gets to claim oppression in order to get money and preferential treatment
To say that it's equality is actually funny to me, considering that to get into a certain university in my state the white applicants need SAT scores that are 200 points higher than the black applicants. That involves a lot of extra study and even a certain lifestyle. And this is the major issue that I have with DEI -- it's like giving an honorary degree to a 'diverse' candidate, then putting pressure on a company to hire this candidate, and then inventing a position for this candidate, and then promoting this candidate to a leadership position.
That is not 'equality'. To have someone who comes into a tech position with no relevant experience and no relevant knowledge, because she has a vagina or has black skin, is the opposite of equality
I think you and many others make the mistake of thinking that if group A and group B differ in outcomes and success, group B must be striving to keep down group A. What you don't consider is that different races and people in different subcultures exhibit massively different behaviors.
The problem is that we can't talk about this anywhere without being threatened by HR or even threatened to be banned from certain social media sites.
So there's really almost nothing we can do about this until your side admits that you're anti-free speech and anti-free inquiry, even at the highest academic levels. If you can admit that then we could actually start listing behavioral differences between African Americans and Whites or Asians, and then perhaps start really figuring out how to approach this problem of 'inequity'
So, I would like to share an experience from my job that has various 'affinity groups' for EVERYONE except white males. We have affinity groups for Arabs, African Americans, Asians, Latino's, Women, LGBTQ, etc, but none for white males.
This is rather discriminatory because the leadership at our site, as per one of our HR representatives, is 50% 'non-white' and I would say that for the non-leadership portion of the company, it's about 40% white, with probably 60% being women. My point being, there's not really that many white males in this building, especially in non-leadership positions.
I'm somewhat offended by this considering that at these affinity group meetings, leadership interacts with employees and tells them ways to get promoted, etc. It's quite discriminatory, IMO.
What are your thoughts on DEI?
I would love to hear your experiences and your thoughts on this topic. If you have pro-DEI or anti-DEI positions, I will read them, consider them and respect your right to your own opinion.
My position is that I'm anti-DEI as I consider it a form of discrimination against white males and also consider it very deceptive. I'm open to discussing it!
Is this a joke? I hate incels and this is why I said that this is for PEACEFUL MGTOW's. Buddhist Monks and Catholic Clergy are MGTOW's as well as numerous other people who choose to forego romantic and sexual relationships with women for their own choice. My other post about the work place is really just showing that humans tend to bully people who are different or live their own life differently.
I also don't think MGTOW is necessarily healthy or useful for more than a small fraction of the male population, but people who do like this philosophy should have a place to congregate and share their experiences and ideas(I also think that it can be a cure to 'incels' since they tend to be obsessed with sex with women and this philosophy is pretty much the opposite of that)
What gives you the authority to invalidate my experience? I'm saying that I do not have this problem when I was thirsty. Women were literally setting thirst traps for me and then getting angry if I was cordial and treated them like a fellow worker and not as a 'bad bitch'. I've had this happen for many years and in many situations so I know it's a real phenomenon that some women engage in, particularly younger ones who seem to want attention from this mid 30's fat guy
