That racist DEI filth is the culture war bullshit.

You would think DEI would address majority Indian teams instead of harping on Whites.

I’m not sure why is being modden down. I was pressured to hire candidates based on their race and I’m sure the experience was not unique.

Yeah, because you know best. You never made any hiring mistake and you never have any bias whatsoever when you hire people. Who dared double-guess you, after you put all the effort of spending a few hours with each candidate?

It is racial discrimination by current legal standards. Fact.

So you have concluded with zero evidence that he is racially biased when he hires people, and to fix this hypothetical bias you want to force actual explicit bias in order to "correct" it. You DEI goons are unbelievable.

You’re not responding to the post you’re replying to. I would’ve been happy to use tools to blind interview candidates. But that wasn’t what was asked - instead I was asked to racially discriminate against applicants.

Yeah, we all now that white dudes know everything there is to know, and we all know here HR only recruits the best and rhe brightest (who happen to be exactly white dudes, who would have thought?).

Yeah at those tech companies that are notoriously all white. Remind me, which ones are they?

Oh, thanks for reminding me that Indian managers are accused to only hire other Indians (from good castes).

But they do something you (and the original poster) would never do, of course! They have a mote in their eye! Look at their mote!
