I brushed off the "DEI hire" stuff as typical rhetoric but this is the first time I feel that it may be justified. My brain went to, "well, we all make mistakes in academia and grow up in the industry" at first. Then I realized these papers are from 11 years ago, and she's no spring chicken.

- nutjob2 1y agoIt's funny, because people don't level the same accusations against white people, or can't, by definition. Any use of 'DEI hire' is racist, because it assumes incompetence by default for one group but not for another.
- y-curious 1y agoYeah, you're right. I won't level that accusation, but I will rephrase to say "I did not believe the accusations of incompetence and now I do"
- xerp2914 1y agoThe whole DEI/incompetence accusation is pretty rich if you look at the people Trump has appointed? From Twitter influencers to Fox News hosts - it's the most unqualified cabinet in American history.
- cosmicgadget 1y agoWho else is incompetent based on this metric?
- y-curious 1y agoI don't know, I have a pretty pale view of politicians in general. Probably 90% of them? Hackernews treating me like I'm a MAGA #1 fan because I judged someone disliked by the right is a good reminder to stay out of political discussions online
- throw0101c 1y ago> I won't level that accusation, but I will rephrase to say "I did not believe the accusations of incompetence and now I do" Under that criteria perhaps Trump should (also) fire Hegseth, Patel, etc.
- nutjob2 1y agoBravo. I can see now that I was correct in every respect.
- y-curious 1y agoThe tribal, hyper aggressive rhetoric makes it hard to have a good faith conversation sadly. You "slam dunked" me bro, you win! Go team left wing! I'm in shambles
