You know... sometimes they might be more qualified than you.

Some are truly fantastic at playing victim.

I'd like to know where my special treatment is. We've been out of oil for the furnace for over a week due to backed up deliveries, right when it got super cold. (Hopefully today?) Some special treatment would have been grand.

I'm on the fence about the DEI abolitions. What should NOT happen is the repeal of the 1965 Equal Opportunies Act. That basically lets employers go back to discminating on any grounds not to hire people without justifying why. Another white male power move.

It's gone because of the affirmative action requirements within it, no other reason (you know, hiring people strictly because of race, which absolutely should be illegal). All of those things need to go into the fire before any kind of "common sense" rebuilding can begin otherwise what they can do will just be half measures.

If all protected class laws are abolished, then the fit, white man will defeat all of his competition with ease.

You know who else this really benefits? Asians, who are disproportionately and regularly denied opportunities in both schooling and employment over far less qualified candidates who happen to be black or Hispanic. The left really hates talking about this but it's been going on for quite a while now.

One reason why black and Hispanic people get an easier than everyone path to jobs and schools, because they'll scream "racist" or "unfair" when they don't get their way. But employers don't seem to care when a white (specially male) or an Asian person gets screwed out of opportunities, because I know, I'm a white male who was robbed of a post high school career; my race, gender and autism worked against me, by bigoted employers.

Uh huh... And someone did reach out encouraging you to reapply in coming months, which is more than most get when they don't get hired on the first try.

Of course, the evil DEI pushes hiring to be inclusive of people with disabilities, like autism, so if that's gone, well, good luck.

Not really. There are separate programs and grants for that. Like here in WA, I've worked at a couple properties where there are individuals who are... noticeably impaired/handicapped. Their roles are useful but somewhat limited, so they're not actually taking away any jobs, and the company pays them full rate but then the state pays the company back about 50%.

So you're perfectly fine with being turned down for a job simply because the hiring manager is black and won't hire whites? Even if you're the best candidate? That's basically what the EOA did. Prevent companies throwing out candidates because they are women, gay, too old, or the wrong colour. Nothing about promoting their hire, which is what the DEI was about.

If they're running a for-profit business and want to make money and be successful, it's in their interests to hire the most qualified candidate irrespective of race. As opposed to being FORCED to fill roles with this gender or that race, regardless of anything else.

Yes, this also forces people to be good at their jobs or their trade. I'm sorry, but this shouldn't be any kind of epiphany. It should also fall well under the umbrella of "common sense."

Now make higher education more affordable and accessible to all, so that people can learn what they need to become better candidates for those jobs and have a chance to compete with those who were born into better access to education and opportunities.

That was DEI.

EOA basically meant you were not allowed to discount anyone based on a characteristic (age, sex, colour etc). Their competency for the job was irrelevant, that’s what the hiring process would find out. Two completely separate things.

Effectively now it’s legal for racist or misogynist white male hirers to only hire other white males. Asking women if they will be starting a family soon is now legal. Dismissing someone because they are not Christian is now legal. MAGA is really MAWMA, Make America White Male Again. Might not affect you directly, but it will affects millions of others.

Sadly this was a monster of the left's own making. We've had years of anti-white hate and white youngsters pretty much told they're naturally evil and racist just because they're white and all that, which ironically brings in all the actual racist types. This is a violent 'course correction' from them. The pendulum swinging the other way. Add to that all these skinhead neo nazi extremists that Trump is conveniently not disavowing and you get this mess. Like why exactly is Elon not clarifying what he did wasn't a nazi salute? Like... just say it. Unless of course....

I was afraid this was gonna happen. All the anti-white stuff and the trans stuff and DEI, all that pretty much handed Trump the election. No one wanted 4 more years of that, despite what 4 more years of Trump would look like.

What the f was that?!? Dude, I can't stand the skewed worldviews of many of the people here, but normally it's from clear-left-leaners but then you come in with that?

There are a tremendous number of reasons that your statement isn't even remotely accurate. It's not even a cogent talking point....

Well said and I'm glad you said it. And Mayhem and others already know it - he's just married to his bull$#!( at all costs. Too much working from home instead of getting outside to the "world outside his window".

As you know, I'm the most far right person on this board. I have no hate for white people at all and I sincerely think whites have contributed more to civilization than any other race.

All I'm saying is that in a country like America which is still majority white, if you were to scrap all these laws which have protected classes, then fit, white men would flourish for the following reasons in the workforce:

1. Being in a majority white country would make them favoured as fellow whites would feel more comfortable with whites as opposed to (insert other race here). That's just basic kinship.

2. Being men would also give them a distinct advantage in hiring due to them not getting pregnant, being physically stronger and more stoic than females.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.
