What are DEI initiatives for $200 ,Alex.What is you solution to the fact that employers prefer white or asian employees?

What's wrong with this DEI picture? Where is your DEI. Strange how I don't see one white face. Do you think they would hire Billy Ray Joe Bob? Hmmm.DEI iniatives are meant to train those hiring that biases like these exist and how to avoid them when selecting candidates. But of course conservatives are systemically fighting those as a matter of policy.
I'm not trying to deny anything. Racism is totally real. But this is still a shitty way to study racism. All they've really shown is that 9.4% of the time, employers shy away from applicants with weird names.We must never question the legitimacy of any study, ever.
DURR
The study is just a snapshot of a few national employers. It doesn’t take much to extrapolate that data across all employers to see just how large of a problem it might actually be.I'm sure institutional racism is going on today. But the study is pretty weak.
Regardless, I think most people think of institutional racism and racism infecting our legal institutions. Maybe the equivocation is deliberate?
So it’s not really a problem then?Even if we take the "study" at face value, 9.5% sounds more like "exception" than rule.
How about 13% across all employees.So it’s not really a problem then?
How about 10% across all employers?
How many people would that affect?
In the Black owned business owners?What's wrong with this DEI picture? Where is your DEI. Strange how I don't see one white face. Do you think they would hire Billy Ray Joe Bob? Hmmm.

Ok. But what makes that "institutional"?The study is just a snapshot of a few national employers. It doesn’t take much to extrapolate that data across all employers to see just how large of a problem it might actually be.
Meanwhile government contracts can include MBE/WBE requirements that basically force contractors to give 10%-30% of their contract to these subcontractors, basically blocking out males and whites from these enterprises.
But that's OK because "reasons"
Who said that?So it’s not really a problem then?
Yep.How about 10% across all employers?
A lot.How many people would that affect?
Not necessarily…a businessman in real America probably should…one running a rent-a-wheel shop or weed store in any of Americas ghettos and barrios should not…he should probably hire this amazing specimen.So he should never hire a MAGA hat wearing shit stirrer… true?
They believe they’re substandard by their name?You want to micromanage business and force employers to hire people they believe are substandard?
LOL - I was just think of having you post your picture, for a side-by-side comparison.Not necessarily…a businessman in real America probably should…one running a rent-a-wheel shop or weed store in any of Americas ghettos and barrios should not…he should probably hire this amazing specimen.

Agreed.See, it’s a two-way street. Companies should have the right to hire whoever they feel best fits in and advances their business.
It’s not hard to see that such biases exist.The public has good reasons for assuming that black people do not make the best employees
Who wants to hire people who cant read and write?
No one is pretending to be anything other than a qualified candidate.
It’s your biased imagination that draws any distinction.
So it’s a big problem for diverse candidates to overcome then?Who said that?
Yep.
A lot.
Re-read your post. If you can't figure it out for yourself I can't help you. Just keep in mind the subject matter is discriminatory hiring practices for applicants with equivalent credentials.
They used to do that because it is such a pain in the ass to stop in and explain your name repeating it over and over for some dumb ass like you with ears made of meatloaf. For the most part, people don’t do that anymore.Why do you suppose Asian immigrants change their names to something more ‘American’?
Is it because they’re smart enough to know how to properly assimilate and the importance of fitting in?
Of course you don’t know that anyone saw them as fake.They are PRETENDING to be something they ain't.
That's the key to the whole study.
And anyone who is wasting people's time by anonymously pretending to be something they are not, actually should be rejected- regardless of what race they are or are pretending to be.
Sure. I only have two points here. First, "institutional" racism suggests more than just employer discrimination. I think it's a deliberate attempt to conflate general discrimination with state discrimination. Second, making all these inferences based on names is bad science and not convincing.So it’s a big problem for diverse candidates to overcome then?
