[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. Diversity is the new modern religion/ideology (or kool-aid depending on your views) for certain people. You see it in their tones on this thread, firmly believing in the sanctity of diversity without a single shred of evidence it delivers the benefits they claim (amazing engineering coming out of, say, Japan or China, which are hardly diverse,  so the idea that diversity for the sake of diversity gives you better ourcomes is more akin to religious beliefs than anything factual or truthful). And we all know what is really meant by diversity here. It's not more Asians or nowadays South Asians, who incidentally have had large presences in American engineering in the last 50 years. If we are being truthful, diversity mainly means the right quota of blacks, and in a profession like engineering, more women. Does it meaningfully make the outcome better? No. Does it make people feel better? Yes. Just like religion. [/quote]

The current anti-DEI push has laid to rest any pretense of DEI getting in the way of hiring qualified people. The administration has hired wildly unqualified candidates who meet their ideological requirements under the pretense of being anti-DEI.[/quote]
