The thought is that the cards aren't currently just falling as they will, and instead they're falling in a biased way due to prior decisions (and current ones!) that disadvantages certain people. The over-eagerness towards diversity programs and such therefore is in effort to push things to a neutral state so that the cards can indeed just fall as they will.
- OtterCoder 9y agoWho's to say what a neutral state is? And what mysterious conspiracy is holding back the admission office of universities and HR departments across the globe? I just think you're fighting ghosts. Additionally, I don't buy that employing 100% of women is actually helpful. Children need a parent at home, and a mother makes more sense for younger children. We should be working towards decentralization of work, and allowing dads and moms to both have more time in the home, rather than racing to lock the entire human race in a cubicle.
