In this thread: A bunch of people from the U.S. not realizing that employment laws and norms are quite different in Canada, where this kind of "employment equity" (or what is called "affirmative action" in the U.S.) is required, especially for public institutions.
- bruiseralmighty 5y agoI guess it is always just sort of gross to view such blatant discrimination head-on regardless of where its happening. I suppose in the U.S. we just sort of brush this under the rug by allowing a hiring board to say it behind closed doors rather than making it public and in print.

It's tempting to bring up something else more severe to prove the point: Should we be okay with what's happening with the Uyghurs in China because it's not happening here (wherever that is)? I would say no.
