You're advocating for a cure far worse than the disease and the disease isn't nearly as bad as they make it seem.
You see, what's great about the private sector is that any company that engages in discrimination only harms itself and drives potential talent to their competitors. That's why I love working for private companies, no matter who you are or where you come from if you're making them a lot of money they'll treat you like royalty. I've never seen an environment more egalitarian than a private company.

- elektrontamer 4y agoComplete and utterly false my good sir. Not only did you bring up an anecdote as an argument but you also accused me of being indifferent to the plight of others. I've personally known people who were discriminated on the basis of religion, my friend wears a headscarf, and I've been both sad for the discrimination she faced and happy when she inevitably, as a talented developer, got a much better position in the private sector. I went out of my way to encourage her to be more confident and showcase her achievements to our employer.
- ptudan 4y agoCorporations are not 100% efficient. I have seen so much favoritism in my short career. It's to be expected. A middle manager doesn't care about the company's bottom line, they care about maintaining/upgrading their own position. That sometimes means working towards the bottom line, but usually means working people relationships. Those people relationships are affected by race gender etc. You really have NEVER seen someone get on a great project because they're better connected, even if they are a worse engineer than someone who doesn't fit in as well?
