I keep waiting for a company or university to respond to this charge by saying "Yes, but it's to make up for centuries of hiring less qualified white men."

The allegation is doing a lot of work there. It begs the question by assuming that white men are necessarily more qualified. That’s pretty dodgy.

So what they really mean is they deserve 100 extra importance points for being white men. Got it.

huh. Do they really want to go there? Seems the school can determine for itself what qualifications to use in their hiring.

…because apparently, by definition, obviously women and people of color are inherently less qualified, ie since they are by definition less white and/or less male… 🤦🏽‍♀️ Am so weary of this shite.

Hey, it's not about gender or color... it's about who's got the better brain (and morals).

I wonder which way the Roberts SCOTUS will vote on this? /s Face it. Affirmative Action and DEI are dead ducks for the next 30-40 years. You can thank everyone who stayed home in 2016 because "both parties are just the same."
