People in there arguing that we need race based hiring on the basis of “fairness”, which tells me they either are themselves diversity hires or never had to actually work with one.

In fact, I would force anyone who insists race matters more than merit to supervise only diversity hires. And their own performance will be evaluated based on how well their team performs. After a few weeks of having to retrain LaQueefa ever day (once she shows up around 10:30) might have these folks singing a different tune.

Comments are pretty interesting on this one. There's a quite a few that are trying desperately to dance around the actual point of the headline and pin it all on white people regardless, but they're being rebutted pretty firmly.

Yeah, there’s also quite a lot of the “it’s from Quilette so it’s just race realism”, despite the fact that Quilette is pretty much centrist on everything and a long way from far right.

Quilette is pretty much centrist on everything and a long way from far right.

You're forgetting that, to quite a lot of people, anything to the right of them personally (we've long since passed using the likes of Mao as a marker) is far right. And centrist/moderates are especially despised because they somehow should know better or something, but they deliberately choose to be wrong, wrong, wrongy Mcwrongpants!

It's the internet so any real subtlety of opinion or intelligent discussion is gonna get sublimated under a billion hot takes.

To be fair, this is kinda the fault of white people, sort of. I'd not knee jerk against anyone who said that. It's not a conceded effort by white people to keep Asians out or anything like that, it's just the idiocy of college board type middle to middle upperclass types who are on average predominantly white but not exclusively so going about getting their panties in a bunch trying to enforce equality because it makes them feel bad and putting in a bunch of policies they think are equitable but in reality are actually super racist since they treat people differently based on skin color rather than simply judging them by their abilities.

They just like to get hung up on this idea of fairness. Yes it's beneficial to Asians that they tend to have more stable family structures and a cultural focus on education. That is what it is. Nothing stopping a black family from doing the same thing, and the ones that do have good success.

Sighted people have an advantage over the blind. We shouldn't cut the lights out at school because of that to make things more equitable for all.

I think the problem is one where you get too many emotional types, largely women, who just can't stand the idea that life is unfair, it is unfair, the goal shouldn't be to get bent out of shape trying to make it fair. There's some leeway that needs to be encouraged to look at people's backgrounds and maybe give some a break if they've got some significant barriers there that they've overcome, but they make it all about race which is pretty stupid. Not sure why that should come into play at all. And I would think there will be a lot of liability for the college if and when white people figure out how discrimination lawsuits work. The Asians are already starting to do that.

From college all the way down to kindergarten, the whole institution of education needs to be gutted and restructured. Too many corrupt motherfuckers with bad ideas and insidious agendas are running the show now.

The problem then becomes how to make sure that you don't just replace the outgoing blatantly compromised people with incoming people just as compromised but smart enough to keep it quiet until they're not being watched. And you can't just watch them 24/7 either, it's not feasible and it's not the sort of precedent I'd like to give anyone in charge either.

The marxists don't plan to replace anything they destroy of ours. Why should we plan to replace anything of theirs? Destroying a Marxists ability to eat is good in and of itself as it reduces the suffering they inflict on their slaves.

Fair enough but doing nothing is not a good answer. Architecting the solution is above my paygrade but just off the top of my head maybe start with a federal spending law that eliminates or severely restricts the budget for all of the overpaid DEI staff and initiatives. I'll take baby steps over no steps.

Quality before diversity and not diversity instead of quality.

I'm in 99% white country. Do you think I would care if my local hospital had mostly Asian doctors instead of white ones? Fuck no. Statistically Asians are the smartest and most hardworking people.

As for Harvard and the other Ivy Leagues, I think they are damaging their own brand to the point where it won't matter if you went to one. They are indoctrination centers at this point. We've all seen the videos of privileged students at these places attacking professors over things like Halloween costumes. Employers will eventually start looking at schools that admit people with talent and educate them well, regardless of whether or not they're "Harvard."

Not American, so I don't really understand the prestige of places like Harvard. I assumed it had more to do with their fraternity organizations that provide opportunities in business (due to signing away your soul in secret cult rituals or whatever.)

Connections basically. I'd argue that is the main benefit of college.

You can of course study and learn the academics of it all largely on your own if you want. But the main benefit of college is that you've got a lot of other people around who share your interests, or don't and force you to expand your understanding of the world. Then later hopefully if you're socially competent you're gonna have potentially beneficial career connections.

Which is ironically why going to college to party isn't actually a bad idea. Just need to learn to balance it all.
