Is this the "what about white history month" argument? I don't see inclusion programs as discrimination against the majority. Neither does the majority of corporations or the US government. >Blind interviews have nothing to do with this Seems like hiring is decided by merit. Any diversity recruiting program seems like it's about outreach to identify underrepresented candidates but the bar is the same once those candidates are interviewed.

>>I don't see inclusion programs as discrimination against the majority. Well, I guess there's a line between an activity specifically designed to include minorities and an activity specifically designed to exclude the majority. The first one is not discriminatory towards the majority - the second one obviously is. I am fairly certain there is a difference between the two, no? Going back to my example - if you specifically only offer parental time off to one gender, you are specifically excluding the other one. That's discriminatory, even if that other gender is in majority. If you run a black history month, you are not specifically excluding white or asian or any other history - you are just focusing on the black history month for now.
