The fuck >_>
But it doesnt make sense though, if you already were a skilled pilot whether or not you are a minority or woman shouldnt matter and you should have already been getting the job. And thats the point people are trying to highlight is if you are purposefully hiring based off race or sex then that means you arent hiring by merit.

That's... not true.
I reread his post several times and isnt it? If youre hiring based on sex or race then that means youre hiring based on something other than merit (best person for the job). If you were hiring based on merit then sex or race wouldnt factor into it.Being a diversity higher does not prove the standards were lowered despite Musk's "fears." Even then, true merit based hiring is a rarity, and yet nobody will wonder of a white dude met the standards.
I feel like one or both of us might be misinterpreting something here.

Companies with DEI programs aren't hiring unqualified people just because they're a minority.

The problem you're having is assuming these hiring conditions are mutually exclusive. They aren't.
Im not insinuating anything, I just read his post in what was probably a vacuum.You are assuming that if you don't think what he said is untrue. You may just not have actually thought it through.

Yes. I responded without likely knowing the full context. I havent even followed the link in the OP.
Yea the issue is that like 99% of the time the people running with those arguments are just using it as an obvious cover for racism.
If were talking about why are they hiring black people just because theyre black, thats not fair to hard working white people! then yes I definitely agree.
With people like Elon and his simps its more like they immediately jump to the conclusion that the black engineer is a diversity hire without having any additional context.
The clear implication they are making is only white people are qualified.

It was "I don't hate them but we shouldn't lower standards for them" when the only proof of standards being "lowered" was who was hired.

Yep; that about tracks for Apartheid Clyde.And the other user has some hella takes so I for one am done with giving him the benefit that he wasn't running in with a "what he really meant."

How long until they start bitching about the disabled getting jobs and "unfair" assistance to do those jobs?
