I am going to claim to be 50% Turk. I want to see someone disprove it.

You don't have to be black or Hispanic. Be creative. Syrian, Azeri, etc.

I'm looking for a new job. Filled out my first, of what will likely be many, applications last night. I pretty much cringe at having to answer the white male diversity questions. Makes me feel like I won't even get a look.
Tell them you're black, a lesbian, and in a wheelchair. When you show up for the interview as a white guy, tell them that you identify as those things and if they don't hire you, you'll cancel them.


That's always a cute thing to say online.

I'm still waiting for a single example of it actually working
Welcome to the Internet, it's OK to be sarcastic here.
I know this is a joke, but now I'm actually kinda curious how this would play out. If you show up to the interview and the interviewer acts surprised that you're a white male, wouldn't almost anything that comes out of their mouth expressing said surprise be against the law?

"Oh, I thought you were a black woman."
"Why did you think that? I was assured during the application process that the demographic info I provided was for data collection purposes only and wasn't tied to my application." Or even better "Of course I'm not, but I assumed you wouldn't select me for an interview if I told you I was white, and based on your reaction, it looks like I was right."
yeah it would make for a great social experiment. Or even just say you must have clicked the button wrong, but you know they'll judge you based on your qualifications, not your race, since that's illegal.

I just looked and I can't seem to find the feature they are talking about. They have said they verified it but didn't give many specifics.

Imagine if that was geared towards people of color.

Well the way I look at it is they are making it much easier for those that want to hire mentally stable individuals.

And here I was considering completely wiping my information from Linked in earlier today for privacy and "stolen identiy" concerns. Maybe it's not such a bad idea afterall.

Just say your bi. No way for them to tell and your in the preferred group lgbtq+

If it was possible to get the list of all the people that didn't get past the woke DEI filter, this may not be such a bad idea. That's the list I'd probably look to hire from.
