Word "discrimination" has a negative meaning that's not
always true. Wouldn't you discriminate against 200 millions Americans who can't write FizzBuzz when interviewing for coding position?
- randyrand 9y agoBut what if those FizzBuzz-failing people are racial minorities? Surely we should then ban FizzBuzz because those people tend to be a certain skin color. \s. That's all this criminal history check ban amounts to, IMO.
- sokoloff 9y agoIf you can't FizzBuzz, you can't code; if I need a coder, I don't need you. Nothing to do with skin color, sexual orientation, or anything else relevant to me as an employer. I'm not following how a criminal background check ban is equivalent to a bonafide occupational qualification.
