Isn't that supposed to be the ideal? Being hired purely on merit, without any other quality you happen to be born with mattering?

No that's now racists don't you know. Unless you consider the person's skin color before anything else, you are a racist. Actually if you dont favor POV over white people, you are racist.

I've been seeing this more and more. It's not the end of racism, it's just more racism with different targets. POC and minorities don't want equality anymore, they want privilege. It's all punching down at 'karens', back to racial quotas, and the evils of 'white feminism'.

Respectfully disagree. These articles aren't being written by POC, they're being written by white virtue-signalling morons with way too much time on their hands, and they're actually purposefully provocative for clicks. Anger is the most effective emotion to get people to share articles online. Equality doesn't exist yet, so how could they overshoot? Look at America. This is only happening online. In real life, minorities are being murdered every day.

So hiring musicians for an orchestra should exactly match the demographics instead of blindly looking for talent? The blind audition increased diversity in an organic way, and was proven to work.

"In real life, minorities are being murdered every day." Statistically speaking, by other minorities. A vast majority of homicide and crime is intra-racial, regardless of what those provocative click bait anger inducing articles want you to think.

Blind hiring is wonderful. Never said that I disagree with that concept. I doubt that the people writing these articles believe it should change either, they're just written to be provocative.

If even 2 black people were being murdered every year by police that would be too many. Yes statistically black on black violence is a huge issue, do you think that that shouldn't be addressed? That it's somehow okay just because it's interracial? All murder is bad, not just murder that fits your political view. White people are murdered by police too. That's also a problem. You cannot however deny the institutional oppression on a huge scale that minorities face. America was founded on racism and imperialism.

No one ever mentions repealing the second amendment and taking away people's guns as the solution even though it will obviously help decrease the deaths. But guns are sacred for Americans on both sides. I wish the far left was focused on something sensible like that, not on performative wokeness and oppression Olympics.

I wish the far left would focus on the working classes, but we can't have that can we?

Spoiled little upper middle class brats.

They've long since abandoned the working class. The working class don't get all the campus woke speaks, woke ideologies, and PC culture. A lot of them are cultural conservatives (oh the horror!). If anything, they've been at war with the working class because "those people are uneducated and stupid."

Don't forget racist Bible thumpers who cling to their guns.

It really angers me.

I agree with your first paragraph.

With the rest: you put the lack of equality next to minorities getting killed, as if to infer being murdered by their evil oppressors. I stated a fact to the contrary. So now I'm magically an evil person that is ok with intra-racial violence.

I have a feeling you're reading more into my statement and replying emotionally. I will end the conversation here.

"Equality doesn't exist yet, so how could they overshoot?"

Well said.

I saw studies that most POC in America don't agree with many of the "woke" dogmas about them. It's mostly white saviors that push the ridiculous agenda.

I stalk on LSA and Twitter so I both agree and disagree with you, simultaneously.
