Every large company I have ever worked for has had noticeably lower standards for women and minorities (except for Asians of course because fuck them in particular). They will never say it in the trainings because they know it's illegal. They will never tell anyone anything except for "don't discriminate" but then they will incentivize discrimination by things like "diversity goals" (quotas) and setting recruiter bonuses higher when they bring in favored "victim" groups. Of course if they set higher bonuses for hiring white people the courts would immediately smack them down for discrimination, but it's apparently "legal" as long as - 1. it's implicit, 2. you deny it exists, and 3. it favors a group that the liberals approve of.

- electriclove 1y agoThis is the unspoken, unadmitted truth of what has been going on. Too bad you are getting downvoted for providing perspective
- nielsbot 1y ago> Of course if they set higher bonuses for hiring white people Are you saying that (straight) (white) (men) have not had (nor continue to enjoy) unfair advantages in our society? And is that not an injustice? Saying "racism is bad" is correct but only the first step. Step two is recognizing the accumulated results of long-standing historical (and continuing, frankly) discrimination against minority groups and working to right that injustice. But would like to hear your perspective.
- fallingknife 1y agoHow is any of that relevant? Our civil rights laws ban racial discrimination. If you think that racial discrimination should be permitted in one direction then argue that our civil rights laws should be amended to allow it. But don't argue that it is legal now or that it isn't happening.
