diversity goals


That's just stupid. Companies should want to hire the best people, no matter their race. Hiring to meet some kind of established diversity goal is bullshite.

 "The meeting was incredibly constructive... I walked away being incredibly surprised at how genuine and sincere he is," said Alex David, president of the Black/African American Connection Team Member Network.
For saying this, he'll get called an Uncle Tom.

They’re supposed to set up a program for black people so they can skip over the qualifications/requirements everyone else has to meet?

Real banking and fuhnance jobs require more than just checking a box. You have to be smart

Assuming he has the numbers to back it up, he's literally telling them a problem they are facing while trying to become more diverse. What the hell else is he supposed to do? Lie?

We can’t find certified black teachers to teach at our school. There is a shortage everywhere. I would imagine it is so much worse in the world of finance.

Damn him for telling the truth.

What % of black high school graduates are in proficient in either/or/both math and English? Compare that to other groups.

Yet they are supposed to be tokened into the right ratio in every entity in every industry at every level.

East Asians born and raised here are getting fricked over, but somehow, we´re not privy to their plight.

But several Black senior executives across corporate America said they are frustrated by claims of a talent shortage, and called the refrain a major reason that companies have struggled to add enough racial and ethnic diversity to leadership ranks, despite stated intentions to do so.


Ok. What difference does it make at all? Other than diversity for diversity’s sake, what difference does it make who is running what? If the most qualified person across the board is in charge, and every person is one color or one sex, what difference does it make? Do people want true equality and the most profitable, successful businesses? Or do they want to patronize people and give them a job just because of the color of their skin or what is or isn’t between their legs? Because that is NOT equality.

Latinos also work their arse off, and do benefit from the current system, methinks. I don´t know. I´m too old and too removed from this crazy system.

How does a teacher get certified black? Is there a melanin test with a certificate after they finish college?
