Agreed, and I'll add that I wouldn't want to get a job because I was black or asian or hispanic and will fill a quota or make some demographic tables look better. I want to get my job because I can do it better than all other candidates.
Racist focused hiring has no place in the modern workforce. All of this is just anti-white male and lame excuses. If you get passed over, you should look to improve yourself and keep fighting. Saying your skin color is the reason you didnt get hired is a weak excuse. Today, the only race that can legitimately use that argument are white males. Even the Oscars are attacking white males. White males appear to be the modern social plague these days. Everyone else has every advantage you can imagine.
Can we focus on being equal instead of making certain categories of race or gender a bunch of special snowflakes.
White privilege talking here?
You just don't get it. The hiring managers pass over candidates because they don't look like them or think like them.
This is not looking for unqualified candidates but the opposite. It's looking for diverse candidates that are QUALIFIED.
I've been passed over for jobs before for a less qualified candidate because that candidate was white or Eastern Indian because they looked like the hiring manager. Get over it real racism in corporate America exists in many forms.
The Oscars and the movie industry are under pressure because those that have the power continually chose people that look like them to the exclusion of others.
Anti-white male? White males are so eff'n used to getting what they want that they have no idea how to compete.
"White privilege is like bad breath. You don't know you have it until someone points it out, and when they do they are the arses."
Good old boy networks, legacies, hiring people that look like them, etc., etc., etc.
Racism is corporate America exists. If it didn't, we would see a proportionate amount of women on boards of companies and in executive rolls. Women graduate at a higher rate from college than men but don't get the executive jobs. In the tech sector black men with qualifications don't get the jobs at the director level and above because the white boy hires his buddy.
Apple, Intel, Broadcom and others have a serious problem with diversity when you walk the halls.
This is aggravated by the fact that previously they only recruited from specific schools that the executives attended.
That list changed slightly but was always MIT, Berkeley, etc.
Anyway, get over it and compete just like everyone else!
