> the fact that the Republicans are telling companies "You can't discriminate against employees because of their race or gender"
That’s not at all what’s being said. What’s being said is “you can’t ever do any outreach if you wonder why women aren’t applying for your roles. You can’t ask if a college degree is actually necessary for your role. You can’t ensure that veterans, who may lack professional experience but nevertheless have relevant non-professional experience, are considered.”
It’s weird how many people have bought into right-wing messaging on DEI, woke, and CRT before that - terms most of y’all probably can’t define.
But even beyond that, I work in data. There is negative value to having a team of people who all think and approach data questions the same way, because they have the same background. There is immense value in having a diverse team. I don’t particularly give a shit if that makes some 20something white dude sad because he thinks hiring should be purely checkboxes who has the highest score in the bar chart. He was probably going to be a garbage employee anyway, regardless of his credentials.
