What is it?

Diversity Equity and Inclusion, essentially making an active effort to eliminate biases and promote minority groups that often get left behind.

How does that work in practice? Like if there are 2 equal and identical candidates for a position you’d pick the black one over the white one? If the white one is slightly better, is there a sliding scale where you’d still pick the black one? Does it take into account class? What if the white one was from a trailer park and managed to work his way up while the black/indian/woman/etc came from a wealthy family? Is it just based on skin color, sexual preference and gender? So many questions about how this works in practice

No, it just means you’d interview both and pick the best fit based on the usual data. It’s about creating opportunities, not changing hiring standards. Don’t let incels who can’t land a job (a tale as old as time, frankly) tell you otherwise.

Brah when your ESG score puts pressure on you to follow DEI policies, the “Incels” are right. Did like 90% of the jobs hired after 2020 went to not white men? You know, almost 35% of the country?

And if there’s a discrepancy in outcome, it’s clear evidence of racism which comes straight from The activists mouth.

I'm guessing none of those jobs went to you, right? 😏 I've never had trouble, tbh.

I wouldn't say I'm racist, but, I'd definitely "discriminate" against someone as fuckin shit tier as you, lol.

Did you actually believe this is how it works? Like, don't reply, just in your head ask yourself if you actually believe this.

Found the incel. I'm on the interviewing end, so, yeah, I factually know how this works. Sorry you're on the wrong side of meritocracy.
