Why do you automatically think diverse hires are incompetent?
by definition. If a person is being hired because they're diverse they are not being hired because they're competent. There can be overlap, sure, but intentionally prioritizing anything over competency definitionally means your weeding out competence intentionally.boy09 said:

Lord knows that privileged white men have NEVER been put into positions that they don't deserve...
So, they were put there for reasons other than competence and you think that's bad?Quote:

There is ZERO proof that diversity produces better outcomes. History shows that people with common backgrounds and values are responsible for the world's greatest achievements.

So if we had a hypothetical scenario where all the candidates were of same caliber but there were different races/ethnicities you think we should hire just the single dominant race?

Since no one is posted the context, I'll try to explain it. Ubisoft is a major, major, major game developer.
They own some of the more lucrative IP in the game industry including the Tom Clancy games, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, etc. They were one of the most respected brands in the industry.
Their last two major release games went full woke.
They decided to create a Star Wars game. The lead writer, who is a female, initially designed the game with a male lead in mind. Ubisoft Executives overruled them and told them they had to create a game with a character that is dark skinned female. Then they made her androgynous. This is an open world RPG where you go in explore and meet people similar to GTA or Skyrim. Instead of focusing on gameplay elements they chose to make it impossible for your character to steal, kill, or otherwise harm anyone but the designated bad guys. It basically takes a lot of the fun elements of this style game and neuters them. Most people would have overlooked the lead being a caricature but the game itself absolutely sucks and is not fun.
Their next release is worse. They created an Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan. Guess who one of the main characters is? A black guy. That's right folks. They made a samurai, one of the most important figures in Japanese culture...black. And not just any samurai. He's portraying a real, historical Japanese person.
The Japanese outcry against this game is significant but Ubisoft has already invested tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars into developing this one and they can't go back and change it. They are announcing a 3-month delay to try to figure out how to fix the character. This game may end up bankrupting the company.
Their stock price is down to a decade low until Friday as buyout rumors surfaced.
Then pick the one with the lowest salary requirement.hedge said:

No dude, they've got the unattractive Asian chick shoved off to the side there in the first picture. At least the've got their heads on straight in 2007 - put the good looking women front and center.NoahAg said:White folk. All I see is white folk. Ain't no diversity.infinity ag said:
They are so open and brazen about it. No wonder Ubisoft has gone down the drain.
They say "diverse" and show only women (and maybe LGBTZQSHKJETYUV)
How many women care about video games?
DEI replaces old underachievers with young zero achievers that lack the skill or talent to even underachieve.Husky Boy Jr. said:

I would like a women to start a company and hire only women. Go ahead, discriminate against men all you want. Show that you can turn it into an Apple a Google or an Amazon or Tesla. Go right ahead.
No woman will take up the challenge. Because they want a ready-made winner. They don't want the struggle to create one. Same with all the other "disadvantaged" groups who play victim. They want all the plum high paying jobs but not the low paying or dirty/dangerous ones.
