Ok. Well here’s what you said: > Considering a candidates suitability for a role based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation is the opposite merit base

Ok. Well here’s what you said: > Considering a candidates suitability for a role based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation is the opposite merit based selection. > You haven't addressed what I said. You've identified a problem (let's just assume you are correct about the problem for arguments sake). I've pointed out the problem with current "solution": making decisions about individuals based on their race, sexual orientation or gender seems far from good, but you haven't addressed that. I didn’t think there was anything to address. I think you defined the ideal we are meant to achieve. If this is a question on whether things should be fair - yes we are in agreement on principles. I want a fair system, for everyone.
