This kind of claim is ridiculous and hurts your cause. If you are going to hire people based on the color of their skin you are actively being racist, even if it is in order to promote diversity.
EDIT:
I would add, if you think that I'm wrong I encourage you to reply to me to let me understand why. If you just angrily push the downvote button I'll not understand your point of view.
- lokedhs 6y agoBecause once racism is systemic, actively avoiding racism will continue to perpetuate the current situation. Great if you're part of the privileged group, not so much much if you're hoping for a change.
- birracerveza 6y agoI feel like this is an issue that must be fixed at the root (education), not at the leaves (actual job). I agree that there is a systemic discrepancy that needs to be addressed, but in my opinion this is a completely wrong way to approach the problem.
- lokedhs 6y agoI'm not trying to tell anyone what the correct solution is (I've experienced societies with wildly different approaches to this), but doing it at the leaf (as you express it) is a solution. It's not the only solution, but it is one. Furthermore, this solution does work to some degree, and it has quite quick results, compared to education which takes generations to impose any real change.
