Broflamingo -- CecilSunkure
CecilSunkure shouted: Notice how I didn't need to bring race in here as a sole factor. I brought up wealth, or job placements. Actual metrics that are independent of race
False because shit like slavery, institutional racism (Police, Redlining e.t.c) play a part in wealth accumilation.

CecilSunkure -- Notice how I didn't need to bring race in here as a sole factor. I brought up wealth, or job placements. Actual metrics that are independent of race
[2017-5-24. : 1:11 am]
CecilSunkure -- Maybe there's a disparity, because certain laws or programs make A really poor. In that case something should be done... But many actions may harm group A, instead of helping them
[2017-5-24. : 1:11 am]
rockz -- CecilSunkure
CecilSunkure shouted: Well if the population is something like 10% A and 90% B, where A and B are races. I would expect those percentages to mostly permeate naturally through the society
I'm not going to complain about 20%/80% A B. I will complain about 5%/95%.
[2017-5-24. : 1:10 am]
CecilSunkure -- And if there's a disparage somewhere, then there may or may not be an problem. For example, perhaps race A culturally really hates certain jobs, and they willingly create a desparity

Oh_Man shouted: Broflamingo damn straight
fake news

[2017-5-24. : 1:07 am]
rockz -- IDK a good answer for hiring other than something like universal income and increased taxes for rich people to pay for this stuff.
[2017-5-24. : 1:06 am]
CecilSunkure -- Another big thing is the "how". How to get closer to an ideal
[2017-5-24. : 1:05 am]
rockz -- Yeah, a big thing is pay equality. There's literally no excuse there. Hiring equality I'm willing to ignore a bit.
[2017-5-24. : 1:05 am]
CecilSunkure -- Alright I think I get your perspective. You have an ideal built up in your mind, and prefer methods that you think will help get closer to that ideal
[2017-5-24. : 1:04 am]
rockz -- Also, in an ideal world/situation, people don't have an issue FINDING a job, which I think is a major issue for today's white males who feel like they're being negatively affected by racism
[2017-5-24. : 1:03 am]
CecilSunkure -- Helping people in need, and diversifying problem solving. In essence
[2017-5-24. : 1:02 am]
CecilSunkure -- OK, so you want to help minorities, and you really like the concept of diversity in the workplace. These sound like really positive desires to me
[2017-5-24. : 1:01 am]
rockz -- 1) Maybe? 2) Usually
[2017-5-24. : 1:00 am]
CecilSunkure -- Do you think hiring off of race is racist? And do you think racism is bad?
[2017-5-24. : 12:59 am]
CecilSunkure -- I'm trying to understand one key bit
[2017-5-24. : 12:59 am]
rockz -- I don't have an issue hiring off of race.
[2017-5-24. : 12:58 am]
rockz -- Never said I'd break the law. We're talking hypotheticals. If it were in today's society, I'd base it off references and a computer. No need to interview the person at all.
[2017-5-24. : 12:57 am]
Broflamingo -- That headache right on que XD
[2017-5-24. : 12:56 am]
CecilSunkure -- Correct me if I'm wrong here
[2017-5-24. : 12:56 am]
CecilSunkure -- And since the hypothetical situation is assuming all things equal except race... It does sound like you're just admitting to being willing to break that kind of law
[2017-5-24. : 12:55 am]
CecilSunkure -- I see, well making hiring decisions based on race is actually illegal
[2017-5-24. : 12:53 am]
rockz -- Depends on how many black guys I had working for me, and if they were fairly close to the same metrics of performance
[2017-5-24. : 12:53 am]
Broflamingo -- rockz
rockz shouted: I don't think people are created equal, but we should strive to be treated mostly as equals. Some people are better at math, some are better at confusing me with poor english like broflamingo.
Dat white race bro XD
[2017-5-24. : 12:52 am]
Broflamingo -- rockz
rockz shouted: These small changes usually end up in minor differences both in looks but also in behavior and ideas/methods of thinking
Lmao you getting him triggered XD
[2017-5-24. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- Broflamingo
Broflamingo shouted: Oh_Man Aussies are pure awesome. This a is a scientific fact.
damn straight
[2017-5-24. : 12:51 am]
CecilSunkure -- So you'd hire this black guy in our hypothetical situation over yet another white guy, because his genetics are different?
[2017-5-24. : 12:50 am]
rockz -- These small changes usually end up in minor differences both in looks but also in behavior and ideas/methods of thinking
[2017-5-24. : 12:49 am]

[2017-5-24. : 12:44 am]
CecilSunkure -- Also I grew up in Oregon
[2017-5-24. : 12:44 am]
CecilSunkure -- Why do you think it would add perspective?
[2017-5-24. : 12:43 am]
rockz -- So I would rather they be over represented in the workforce, as long as they make the same thing as their white coworkers.
[2017-5-24. : 12:43 am]
rockz -- Well, I live in Oregon, which is a white refuge where it was illegal for blacks to live for about 100 years. We don't have many black people, and I think they can add a lot of perspective to design and work, moreso than YET ANOTHER WHITE GUY.
[2017-5-24. : 12:39 am]
CecilSunkure -- Isolated how so? Like poor?
[2017-5-24. : 12:39 am]
rockz -- However, this is really hard to do, and multiple factors are necessary. We can't expect to have 50% female STEM penetration.
[2017-5-24. : 12:38 am]
rockz -- CecilSunkure
CecilSunkure shouted: Or at least be pretty close
I think that minorities should be over-represented, because otherwise you get really really small isolated groups of minorities.
[2017-5-24. : 12:36 am]
CecilSunkure -- Or at least be pretty close
[2017-5-24. : 12:36 am]
CecilSunkure -- rockz
rockz shouted: CecilSunkure I don't have any proof to say that diversity increases productivity, but people who think the same working together aren't particularly useful in every setting
I'm sure we'd both agree having diversity reflect the population percentages would be ideal
[2017-5-24. : 12:35 am]
rockz -- CecilSunkure
CecilSunkure shouted: rockz Sounds like race is a racist metric. Instead, other metrics should be brought up that help to flesh out a better defnition of "merit". Metrics that might be intended as implication in race/gender

jjf28 -- but I'm not a mod so w/e :wob:

jjf28 -- Broflamingo
Broflamingo shouted: jjf28 So mean jjf28...Is it not okay for me to boil down his talking points and save us the headache ?
by my standards not if you're being obnoxious and not contributing anything of value for several lines in a row
[2017-5-24. : 12:33 am]
CecilSunkure -- Metrics like having a great understanding of specific cultures, or have merits in the understanding of women psychology in a certain age group
[2017-5-24. : 12:33 am]

tbh mute Bro :P
[2017-5-24. : 12:31 am]
CecilSunkure -- rockz
rockz shouted: CecilSunkure Maybe? It's a thin line here. I think that diversity in itself is a bit racist/sexist too. I have a feeling that by diversifying their workforce, a company has increased productivity over a 90% white male workforce.

jjf28 -- err not quotas based on early-life advantages per say, but giving a leg up to such people in some way*
[2017-5-24. : 12:29 am]
jjf28 -- pretty sure we had this debate already and roughly concluded: diversity quotas are inferior to quotas based on peoples level of early-life advantage, and that they're not necessarily racist because they aren't based on a sense of genetic or cultural superiority
[2017-5-24. : 12:29 am]

rockz shouted: CecilSunkure There's significant merit in diversity. Whitewashing is usually a problem. I don't really have an issue with an asian getting a job over a white person who is mildly more qualified if it helps diversity, as long as they get paid the same.

Duh, thats why it makes that article even more of a joke. Why even bring that up.
