Circles. You remind me of the aliens in the Simpsons when they were wearing Clinton and Dole skin suits.

That doesn't sound like the guy who will do the best in that role, so not sure why you'd think I'd hire that person? I've been pretty adamant I'd do the exact opposite.
what if every person you thought would do the best in the roles for which you were hiring happened to be white US-born males?

would you hire them all anyway, because they were the best person for each job based on your personal opinion?

If the short asian woman can ball then why not?

Cuban didn't say hire unqualified people


Ok cool tell us more how Claudine Gay was qualified to be president of the most prestigous university in the known world after submitting a resume full of plagiarism and very underwhelming publishing and research.

That is the most important tenet of DEI though




What minority metric does DEI mandate?

Black people were turned away at the doors of job fairs in the past?



No. Nor did I say that.

Then what "other areas" do you want "explor[ed]?"

I have a few guesses - just want to hear it from the expert.

Want? I don't want anything; especially from someone trying to run their own business.

Just don't think the entire premise is flawed.

Do DEI practices have to result in a minority hire? Is that the only result?

No, in the case of the Mavericks it could be a white woman.

Mark Cuban is not nearly as smart as people think he is. Most of these CEO’s and elites aren’t. Out of touch
You think the startup with little cash and a good idea is worried about the diversity on its engineering team?

Same reason you may hire outside of the most qualified. Potential, cost, gut feel.


That's not what DEI is

DEI goal is not to force someone to hire a less qualified individual. Despite what you KNOW and have been told.
