This take assumes a priori that inclusive hiring results in mediocrity. Sounds more like a reflection of biases, to be honest. Inclusive hiring means expanding your search criteria beyond "hire those that look like me, speak like me, have awesome education like me, and are basically smart like me". It turns out there are plenty of exceptional people outside of that narrow band.
- pessimizer 4y ago> have awesome education like me, and are basically smart like me At least this is meritocracy, the kind of thing that people (e.g. eugenicists) can make a serious argument for. > look like me, speak like me ...is something that can't be justified except by terrible people. Even worse is "likes the same music and movies that I do" or "we coincidentally have mutual friends."
