yip

on every level

And should have disappeared 30+ years ago

pushing people into positions they are not qualified for never helps anyone

and if they are qualified they do not need affirmative action to begin with

It was necessary in to help out the generations devastated by Jim Crow, but Jim Crow laws haven’t existed in over 50 years

it was the wrong way to go even then.

There’s literally no justification for keeping this shit

don't hire unqualified people, turn them into qualified people and then hire them based on their qualifications

might be more expensive in the short run but will end up with a working system in the forseeable future... affirmative action ensures that you will have unqualified people forever

I agree, affirmative action was always a shit solution. I like to compare it to a gun shot. Black America was shot repeatedly by the Government. The government then realized they were in the wrong and decided know what, we’re sorry, let me help you. Then they went to the bleeding black guy and handed him a Band-aid called affirmative action. The band-aid doesn’t actually make the bullet wound go away, & barely stops the bleeding. All it does is cover up the wound so nobody has to look at it anymore.

The black guy is still on the ground bleeding out, and the government gets to pretend like it actually helped

Meanwhile all it did was make everything worse like usual

but hey... feminism is working on making affirmative action redundant... so there is one good thing coming out if it 😄

Plz no

if you can self identify as a black woman you get all the affirmative action you want 😄

replacing the unqualified black workers with unqualified female workers as a forced quota wont help the business or hard working people

and saying that you are not a black woman makes them a racist, transphobic bigot 😄

funny thing is that if women just accepted a 23% pay cut they'd actually achieve their hiring amount 😛

they could also just work higher paid jobs to fill that 23% black hole

and "they" does not include every single woman.

no it wouldnt

if they only work 77% of the time they'll get paid 77% of the 100% wage at any salary

they work more than 77% of the time.

but the adjusted pay gap is somewhere between 4% and 6% and still does not include every variable.

because you can't include every variable

there is no variable

you accept the wage to work in said job

if you're not happy with it, you don't take the job

i worked a job where we got 2% of every sale. that is a variable that can not appropriately be included in a statistic like that.

that is the accepted wage then

the accepted wage was the base salary 😉

and the additional 2%

sure.

but how do you reflect that in stats like that?

you really can't - which gets reflected in that 4% - 6%

which is just there and will not go away

you don't have to

its not my reponsibility to ensure what you get paid is fair

you have to if you want to have accurate statistics
