A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

"DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower-qualified minorities could get hired instead of more highly-qualified white people, it was put in place to ensure lower-qualified white people were not hired instead of more highly-qualified minorities."

If you want to know that you're getting a merit-based selection, then expand the talent pool and let everybody have a shot.

@ned As a white guy, I'm always ashamed of the stupidity of some white people who complain about immigrants "stealing" their jobs.

It's either a back-breaking job that no "white dude" wants to do because it is badly paid and super hard
OR
It's a job that requires a level of education (e.g., Master's degree or Ph.D.) that those same white people do not have because they don't "believe" in education/science.

Either way, immigrants didn't "steal" anyone's job!
