| There is 0 chance companies are refusing to hire skilled candidates that could make them money based solely on race. If this is happening it is because they bring more problems than profit when they enter the company. And if companies are discriminating on race then you wouldn't want to work there anyway. The solution is not to force everyone to get along, that only breeds more resentment. Far more likely is companies are weighing their liabilities by hiring a black or Latino or gay person or whatever and then facing a lawsuit because said person underperforms and plays the race card when consequences come around. The companies are afraid of upsetting these people so they are in essence elevated above their coworkers in terms of power/protections at work. The DEI solution is to present a threat of greater liabilities immediately to companies by not hiring these people. If I own a business and I want a peaceful cooperative work group I should be allowed to only hire based on what I see as the best fit. If that means all people of a certain race or group are removed from my hiring pool then that's a stupid strategy because I am leaving competitive employees on the table for other businesses, so I would t do that, unless I had very good reason to believe this particular individual will bring excess friction to the work space. It's not the governments job to step in and regulate how companies hire their employees. If companies refuse to hire these people en masse their strategy should be to start their own company and present a real threat of competition to the companies that spurned them. |
