The reality remains. If you were running a business would you not want to hire the best talent? That's just common sense. But you know what they say. Common sense ain't all that common.
It's marvelous TO SAY we hire for MEI, merit, excellence, and intelligence. But saying it and doing it are two different things.
Had “all things been equal”, there would be no need for discussions like this. But there are still people doing stupid stuff. Can I provide an example? Uhh … yeah. Kamala Harris. What was the first thing Trump and his team jumped on when they realized he was going to run against her? DEI and a question about her racial identity/ WHY? Because they could not think of anything to say to prove she was not qualified. Such as ... she's a convicted felon or .... She grabbed men's crotches BECAUSE SHE COULD! Etc. They had to do something to cast a shadow.
I applaud businesses that say they recruit based on MEI. That type of hiring should have been in place all along. It's a way of moving forward.
HOWEVER, it won't erase DIE (Discrimination, Inequality, and Exclusion) that's been going on FOR CENTURIES.
Just look at all the laws America had to pass to try to fix this CRAP!! The Emancipation Proclamation, The Indian Citizenship Act, the Repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and on and on and on. What was the purpose of those laws? Official oppression for specific groups of citizens, human beings, that other citizens, human beings WANT TO KEEP DOWN!
Anyway! Keep on pushing, Mr. Wang.
