Calling anyone a racist or a bigot is name calling. Name calling is the lowest form of discourse. When my adversary resorts to name calling I know I have won the argument.You're not the target audience of the article. It's primarily for people who work in Talent Acquisition who have to deal with both implicit and explicit bias when it comes to hiring pilots for the airlines.
You are not qualified to work in that role because you are a raging bigot and racist and would get your company sued unless you managed to somehow do your dirt without anyone being aware of what you're doing.
How many more people need to die before the Supreme Court rules against affirmative action in hiring decisions?
There you go again - ignoring what I’ve actually said to make up some false attitude and attribute it to me because you insist on seeing racism when it’s not there.Not if the Black candidate is more qualified but I guess in your world there exists no such person right?
I was working a project management job where I asked the agency if they didn't have any females that they could send over for me to interview. They did and I wanted to hire her but I was outvoted by the males, one of whom was the company president.
As far as I was concerned she was perfect BECAUSE she had experience in the language that the legacy system was running on, as did I. None of the guys had this experience so had I simply just accepted the best of the bunch (of males) I would have missed out on the perfect candidate, even though I was overruled as far as bringing her onboard for my project.
There is no such thing as the best qualified. That's stupid.There you go again - ignoring what I’ve actually said to make up some false attitude and attribute it to me because you insist on seeing racism when it’s not there.
I never said the best qualified would NEVER be a black female. I said that in 94% of the cases, the best qualified would be someone else. That’s because only 6% of the population is a black female, and when you prioritize that above getting the best, and thus exclude everyone else from consideration, you end up losing out on the best qualified in 94% of the cases.
It’s simple math.
There you go again! Who said whites are entitled to 100% of the jobs they want?So whites are entitled to 100% of all of the jobs they want?
Personal insults are the second worst form of discourse. I have not said anything about your qualifications or intelligence. I have posted facts that indicate that blacks tend to be less intelligence than whites and Orientals.Surly you jest. You're here on U.S. Message Board denigrating Black people and accusing us of having inferior intelligence to you and every other race & ethnic group in the country, bragging about your own superiority and when asked questions about your profession, that's none of my business when you offered up the information when I asked the first time, just not the details?
By every objective measurable criterion, you are full of shit and not nearly as intelligent as any the Black members on this message board in spite of your cries to the contrary. We were discussing intelligence as it relates to excelling in one's career and now you're trying to deflect with the red herring of "higher crime rates"?
I asked the questions I did because just as I suspected, you are not nearly as accomplished as I am yet because of the vestiges of institutional racism, you are believed to be the end all and be all of a successful [white male] professional software developer AKA computer programmer while my accomplishments mean what exactly to you and the segment of America that is still very much racist when it comes to Black people?
As IM2 has already pointed out, you don't have a case, but I can provide you with one if you so desire.
It is stupid to think "there is no such thing as best qualified."There is no such thing as the best qualified. That's stupid.
Simple math has sometimes been considered racist because blacks tend to have more difficulty learning it then whites, Orientals, and especially Jews.There you go again - ignoring what I’ve actually said to make up some false attitude and attribute it to me because you insist on seeing racism when it’s not there.

Is that your example of an intelligent explanation?It is stupid to think "there is no such thing as best qualified."
It is intelligent to realize that the best qualified applicant is rarely a Negro, unless we are choosing for sports teams.
"The Inequality Taboo," by Charles Murray, From Commentary, September 1, 2005There you go again! Who said whites are entitled to 100% of the jobs they want?
But why are blacks, as in the example I gave of my local police department, entitled to 50% of the open jobs? Why should it be 3x as hard for a white to be hired as a black?
It has become so extreme, especially in the federal government, to prioritize hiring or promoting blacks over whites that you end up with the extreme cases of racism against whites. Do you think it’s fair that a white friend of mine, who had worked for the government for 16 years and had a masters’ degree, was passed over for a promotion given to the black female hired 6 months earlier, and had a mere high school diploma, and with very limited work experience?
Lisa knows that she is very intelligent.Is that your example of an intelligent explanation?
Lisa knows she's too stupid...
Is that why neither of you can give me an intelligent explanation for how one finds the objectively best candidate for a job?Lisa knows that she is very intelligent.
In The Bell Curve, Charles Murray and Professor Richard Herrnstein claim that an IQ test is the best measure. I would add that an IQ test and a test of knowledge one will need in the job will find the objectively best candidate.Is that why neither of you can give me an intelligent explanation for how one finds the objectively best candidate for a job?
What about a bank who doesn't want to risk lending to black people. Should that be allowed?"Qualified" is in the eye of the hiring beholder. There's any number of potential criteria, and there's any number of ways to rank the criteria to match that business.
Either way, the decision should be left with the employer, the one who is taking the risk. Not artificial mandates that force the employer to distort their criteria.
Regardless of skin color or gender or nationality or (whatever else) of an individual, assuming that an individual is inferior or superior based only on immutable characteristics is ignorant and short-sighted.
Yes you idiots who like to point to the Bell Curve don't actually understand it or the fact that they have to keep recalibrating the tests because IQs have been increasing over time. The average IQs of Black Americans today is around what it was for the average white during the supposed greatest generation. Where those whites incapable?In The Bell Curve, Charles Murray and Professor Richard Herrnstein claim that an IQ test is the best measure. I would add that an IQ test and a test of knowledge one will need in the job will fine the objectively best candidate.
Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein mention that in The Bell Curve. It is called "the Flynn Effect." Although scores go up, the race gap persists.Yes you idiots who like to point to the Bell Curve don't actually understand it or the fact that they have to keep recalibrating the tests because IQs have been increasing over time.

To the right you have two men who can clearly articulate their points with facts. On the left you have the embodiment of the DEI crowd, two women who are only capable of babbling bias and emotional chatter. Try to sit through the whole seven minutes if you can, but it will be challenging.
