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.

That's not true at all.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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. Last edited by Coola Yagami; 01-25-2025 at 09:25 AM. |

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.
