Huge difference between socially acceptable and legalized discrimination.
Affirmative action and all those EEOC laws specifically authorize and promote discrimination against certain groups.
As I mentioned earlier, race and gender have no bearing on academic achievement and job performance.
They shouldn’t even be listed on an app.
In my world, candidate’s names would even be concealed when people are looking at resumes and judging qualifications.
That would be true fairness.
So you're saying you think 95% white and male is unfair? What's your goal, 100%?
Women are slightly over 50% of the nation.
People with African descent are about 25%.
Yet these groups represent less than 5% of the industry. Why?
Ever think maybe "back in my day" people only wanted to hire those who looked like them and shared common interests?
That's why HR does the hiring now, not pilots.
