Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?[/quote]

The next time you get on an airplane do you want the pilot, crew and air traffic controller to have been hired on merit/qualifications or DEI? I’m guessing you’d go with merit/qualifications. Does that make you racist?[/quote]

You commit a logical fallacy here. It is not an either/or choice.[/quote]

Merit/qualifications gets you the best person for the job, DEI may get the best person.  When lives are on the line, the reasonable person would want the best choice not the hopeful choice. [/quote]

[b]All D.E.I. does is get them in the door [/b]since the opportunitie[quote]s didn’t exist previously. Your contention that these candidates are inherently unqualified is in fact racist as it goes to the trope about people of color being inferior intellectually. Only a white supremacist would use this example.[/quote]

Bullcrap. 
When "equal outcomes" is the goal and quotas are set and diversity is more important than skill, talent, and ability, it isn't just getting "them in the door."[/quote]

The reality is that race impacts hiring to the benefit of White candidates much more so than candidates of color. Hiring has never been just about skill, talent or ability. And it hasn't gotten any fairer for the last 25 years as documented by numerous experiments that compared candidates that were equivalent except for their race.

[/quote]The vast majority of hiring is subject to very little oversight, and compensatory policies that address racial bias reach a very small fraction of hiring overall. Together, these trends offer little support for optimism about racial progress in the United States. While some people may assume that discrimination has declined over time, through increasing diversity in institutions along with other cultural changes, it seems as though, at least in terms of hiring, this expectation doesn’t meet with reality.[quote]https://hbr.org/2017/10/hiring-discrimination-against-black-americans-hasnt-declined-in-25-years
