You could use a variant of the term that applies to Never Trumpers and Concerned Moderates that keep the Republican Party totally impotent: functionally Democrats.

Your argument is some of those practices of open discrimination are functionally Marxist, and that's absolutely true. Or as fixer put it `communistic' -- -which is an invented word, so meaning is clear in context.



Two wrongs make a right, got it.

That doesn't make sense. Nor is it applicable in a divide.

So assuming there's truth to this , what's to keep someone from just lying and saying they are gay? Do you have to prove it somehow ? If so that seems like a sex discrimination case waiting to happen.

Someone needs to make money submitting URM applications and be paid by the search committees so that they can move forward with their process.

Have to get the SJWs out of HR...

Dumb kids go to school and get their brainwashed-Socialist degrees and can't get a job "in their field" in the real world, so they wind up in HR at BIG Corp and apply all ther social justice "knowledge" to hiring, firing, training, etc.

Have to stop this practice ASAP

The pool of minority candidates who choose to go into STEM and do what it takes to be competent or better is fairly small, but all of the businesses' HR and senior executives are in a vicious battle to appear more socially progressive to investors and customers that make purchases based on sanctimony and self satisfaction of want to perceive themselves and be perceived as morally superior. This leads to biased hiring to try to satisfy that demand prioritizing this unfortunately small pool of candidates.


This is correct. Tech companies have requirements for a certain % of minority/women candidates that advance to onsite interviews. Likely if this imaginary candidate was real she'd get interviewed along with 3 or 4 better qualified candidates, gets passed over, and the hiring team can say "Hey 25% of our on-site candidates were D&I".

It's bull**** but that's how it works.
It's much worse than just the candidate pool. I worked for a large engineering/tech company and while hunting around for some info, ran across a powerpoint for managers. It was all laid out explicitly: we have a deparment goal to hire and promote X% of minorities and Y% of females. I'm trying to recall the numbers, but they were in the range of 30-50%. When you work in a profession overwhelming dominated by men, and half the promotions are reserved for the few women in the department, it's more than a bit demoralizing.

And this was roughly 10 years ago. It's much worse now. I think it was Nasqaq that recently made a rule that there must be minorities and women on the executive board of a company for it to be considered for an IPO on their exchange.
The 50% goals in STEM fields is a sick joke. This is a zero sum game. If they aren't raiding teachers, nurses, and janitorial staffs which skew heavily female, where do they think they will even find the numbers, let alone qualified individuals.
