I'm actually kind of nervous about the identity of the pilots in the Toronto plane crash potentially being released

I tried reading redditor 'rebuttals' on this but I can't wrap my head around it, something like

>It's not discrimination, it's righting past wrongs!

>They're not preferentially hiring less skilled minorities, they're just giving minorities, who happen to be less skilled, more chances to get hired

Because my memory is shit, here's some ACTUAL reddit comments:

>This is more or less it, DEI isn't inherently about shutting out white guys or lowering the standards, but if you're in a target group you'll get more opportunities, and sooner than your non-DEI peers.

This is why i had problems remembering their logic, because .. there's none

>I think in theory it absolutely makes sense.

>In practice, I feel like I got into a good university because I was a woman in CS

Woman admits DEI exists and benefited her, but still 'agrees' with it

>In theory DEI is a good idea, giving everyone an equal opportunity, however this assumes that ALL white and asian people have it easier than ALL other groups.

One guy explains the theory behind it which is basically equity of outcomes coming with the conclusion of well DEI hiring

Here's another wall:

>1)We should admit and hire based on merit instead of having diversity hires and admissions. - This falls apart like an undercooked oatmeal cookie upon further inspection. First, merit has to be defined, which leads to the question of who defines merit? That leads to a dichotomy. You can either have an exclusive group determine what merit is, which necessarily means creating a standard which favors the point-of-view of one group over another and is, thus, discriminatory, or you can reach a broad consensus on merit by including the perspectives of everyone within an industry, which requires diversity and inclusion. This perspective also suggests that a person for whom their diverse background is seen as beneficial necessarily lacks merit, which is a false dichotomy. These things are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Yeah i'm gonna stop

>are people just meant to not notice or what?

They're supposed to support it to the maximum and cheer on the countless millions of dollars that have been put into DEI initiatives and the countless affirmative action programs while simultaneously also denying it exists and saying that there isn't a single DEI hire anywhere in the country and that anyone who mentions it happening is a massive racist who uses "DEI" as code for "BIPOC".
