How about the NFL? Any time a new head coach is needed they HAVE to, at least, interview a black candidate. Why not just interview the BEST candidate. It demeans a black head coaches qualifications. I think everyone would want to be hired based on talent and qualifications
9 of 32 head coaches of NFL teams are black.

This is different than what your OP was about. You said nobody on this board questions the qualifications of a white man.
In the context of the post, it is clear that means that no one claims that a white man got his job because he is a white man.

I'm telling you that everybody I listed has been called unqualified at times on this board.

unqualified and unfit are two different things.

You think people hire unqualified black people because they are black to save money?
If someone is hiring an unqualified person, it must be so they can pay that person less than a qualified person. What are you insinuating?

Statutorily as in a matter of policy. Not necessarily law.
Learn to comprehend the English language.
But Affirmative Action fits that bill if you really want to go there. Too bad for you the SCOTUS shite all over that.

That would be as quick of a route to get sued as hiring white males.
“Hey, Tom. You can put the new hire in a lower pay band. He’s black.”

i love when stupid threads like this one get anchored. it's the board equivalent of "you kids go outside if you're going to fight"

Good post.

Why must that be?

by definition, a statute is a law. maybe you should learn to comprehend the English language? Or learn the definitions of words? Or learn to use precise language?

he civil rights act provides the entire foundation for granting protected status for minorities, sexual deviants, and women. It means that if a person in a protected class feels they have been wronged they can sue on that basis. This translates to private business, public institutions, etc.
This prevents discrimination, it doesn't require anyone to hire a minority or woman over a white man. If that were the case, no white men would be employed.

I'm having a hard time understanding your claim about DEI. Do you believe DEI is a federal law that requires private companies to hire minorities over white people? What do you think DEI is?

Agreed, but he was no more unqualified or qualified than any other president.

What's your hypothesis?
My "hypothesis" is that there are external forces "encouraging" the hiring of minority candidates who are not as qualified for their jobs. ESG is an example of an external force that has had a huge impact on the HR behavior of companies. Direct Government pressure via the procurement of government contracts/grants is another.
We see it in the University admissions process as well. White and Asians are 100% being discriminated against. It's simply the norm now. It's impossible to deny.

The Great Resegregation?
It's now official. You are dumber than Tboy. Congratulations!

What is DEI? What you're describing does not align with my understanding of DEI. Can you define what DEI is?
This is a great question actually, considering most don’t truly understand it. DEI, at the federal contracting level, is a requirement to document candidates and hires that equate to an ethnic group’s percentage of the population. There are several different ways it gets enforced. Mostly in actual contract and/or grant awards. As a contractor, you have to prove that your hiring practices align with that policy (this is an over simplification, but it’s difficult to explain in a short text format). Basically you end up curtailing your recruiting practices to try to meet these demands and it results in losing out on qualified candidates.
quote:
If you're the employer, can't you determine what hiring practices you use?
You can to certain degree. But as I mentioned above, if you operate as a federal contractor, you will 100% lose out on work.
The other part of this is “woke” corporations who enforce the same type of rule on their contractors. Usually it’s cloaked in some Diverse Spend clause within contracts. Basically a percent of a contractor’s spend must be on DEI personnel.
