DEI practices are trash in any sector, spare me the optics. You're telling me that out of the most competent people available to be hired, 90% of them were non-white in a field that is majority white? Oh please...
I don't know where you're getting your stat but it's clear that you've made up your mind already. According to you, white people are better at engineering. Which means I cannot expect any good faith conversation with you, as you've already subscribed to a racial hierarchy of competence.
This debate is old, and I am surprised that people still don't get it. It is not because DEI practices are stupid that there is not good reasons to consider some parts of the population discrimined against. There is no lack of people that can do a job with good training. In theory you can mix DEI with good workforce. Why and how it may seems to lead to fucks ups should be beyong this thread, but Baki argument that more data is needed is true. Not the same country, but South Africa as the same problem, just with another minority. I am curious of your opinion on that.
The problem is that to get the credentials you have to work harder and have some barriers that make it hard all the way from being born to your death. Not the same case at all, but a decade ago a huge scandal happened in Japan. Because some people had a problem with women becoming doctors, they lowered their results in university test to make more men pass than women. How can the law fight against that? Sadly with DEI practices. As I entered the discussion and did not read all posts from the participants, please tell me if I am misunderstood you.
Unfortunately a lot of people are radicalized online through toxic talking point that makes them buy into what is frankly racist and discriminatory rhetoric. I think these people might be better served with someone in the real world, sitting them down, and over a period of time, helping them move away from these toxic views.
