Excuse me for thinking that one's skill and merit should be the only qualifications. Wait until you learn that you got your dream job as a DEI hire, to fill a quota. That happened to me. All it did was make the feeling of inadequacy worse.

Is that what you think goes on in this world, that w/o DEI, skill and merit are the only qualifications? Are you 12? Take DEI away entirely, and that's still not how it works AT ALL. Look around! It's not minorities screwing you over, pal, it's the bosses.

I'm saying this as one of the "minorities" DEI was created to help in the first place.

Lots of ppl get beat out of jobs and imagine they've been somehow cheated out of an inheritance. But sometimes, they just picked someone else, for reasons you don't know or understand. Maybe your impulse to blame others when you fail was a red flag? IRL, this sort of thing is a much bigger issue:

So things like the massive scandal of Asian kids having to reach much higher requirements to get into Ivy league schools than black kids from the same under privileged backgrounds just never happened...

Huh. Lemme get this straight: Bc of a court case that doesn't affect you, but regardless was decided the way you prefer, you sided w/ race grifters who immediately, once empowered, began stripping away discrimination protections against *you.* Got it. Thank you, Mr. Roper, for your service.

In any event, as I said above, legacy admission at Harvard are responsible for FAR more seats taken from high performing kids than DEI programs, and pretending otherwise is either misinformed or disingenuous.

"when Asian kids have higher test scores than both white and black kids I get mad at the black kids specifically" is always an interesting tell.

If that's your take away from the facts of the story, you're racist...

It's my take away from your response to it, which is hardly unique. The thing that upsets you isn't "merit" across all Americans, it's that you think that black kids have it too easy.

Just because legacy admissions are an issue doesn't make the story I mentioned any less valid. FFS you sound as dumb as the people that defend males in female sports by claiming "it's only a few athletes".

Actually, it kinda does. The court ruled they way you wanted so that's not happening now. And ofc, it didn't affect you anyway. Every time someone calls BS on you you change the subject. Now your own to trans sports. Really you're just a bigot who blames their failures on others.

How the fuck is defending women's rights in any way a form of "bigotry"..?

Oh, now you're a defender of women's rights as well as a racial justice champion. 😂 Your opinions change w/ the wind and you're just a bigot w/ a fairly obvious, scattershot approach viewed over the course of this string. You're now boring me. Let's pls agree to disagree. Muting you now.

The reality is that DEI devolved into diversity = everything but Anglo Saxon, job requirements/skill set became secondary. No, stating a fact isn't racist, before you even attempt to go down that road.

That's exactly what DEI devolved into...
