By that logic anyone criticizing a company's hiring practices must be fired.

If someone claims their employer discriminates against black candidates, you must equally infer they think some of their white coworkers have been let in because of weakened standards, and out they go...

I mean, I'll admit there is a small core of logic there, but I think it's pushed absurdly far. Wouldn't it make more sense if hiring standards could be discussed without firing anyone who wants to change them?

I have in fact occasionally seen similar arguments used by right-wingers when someone complains there aren't enough black people, women, etc somewhere. It struck me as a nasty and cynical rhetorical trick when they did it too - and they didn't even go as far as demanding anyone be fired.
