You could hire both a rich white guy and a poor black guy, in order to get diversity, and then find out they both love classical music, basketball, knitting, went to the same college and vote for the same political party.
If you're telling me you can look at the color of someone's skin and tell me what their cultural beliefs and background is then you're the crazy racist judgemental one!
- gluelogic 11y agoI am glad to see this kind of doublethink addressed directly.
- eloff 11y agoI'd say you'd have better luck predicting the weather with a dartboard. But knowing a person's skin color or cultural heritage or gender etc would let you make better predictions, that's a fact. For building diverse teams I think selecting people based on their skin color would be pretty dumb. Rather pay attention to their background. But you should be putting their skills first in either case.
