This whole identity politics leads to circular results via games theory strategies:
- If I cannot question someone gender because its bigotry/discrimination etc
- then you cannot question race that I identify as
- and I can identify as any race that is treated preferentially
I identify as X, and if you dare to question it during the interview I will sue for discrimination.
In the end we end up with a layer of bureaucratic song and dance where everyone will identify as X race and Y gender and no one can say anything about the absurdity.
Its The Emperor's New Clothes where everyone is forced not to shout 'The king is naked'
- angelzen 5y agoOh, we are such a bunch of over-rationalizing social unfits. The way things work in practice is more akin to the small kids in this adorable video: https://twitter.com/Kolamide/status/1453655850447515648 https://twitter.com/Kolamide/status/1453655850447515648 Good luck having them admit they flunked you because of your race. You were just insufficiently qualified for that specific position and a poor fit at the moment.
- me_me_me 5y agoYes and no. There is an open bias in US University to make it harder for Asian students to get accepted to uni. They are discriminated based on their race not their exam scores/capabilities. If you knew that part of your score will be artificially deducted in order to meet diversity quota what would you do?
