EXCLUSIVE: US Air Force Ran A Social Experiment To Graduate More Minority Pilots. It Didn’t Go As Planned
An Air Force pilot training program experimented with grouping minorities together in one class, prompting complaints that the class could break discrimination laws.
This. I work at a big tech company (remote, from a mountain valley ranch in Tennessee), and management does not get how few people there are out there that meet these diversity hire requirements that are qualified.
It's like that "female delusion calculator" that says "You're looking for a 6' tall non obese man that makes over $100k. That is 0.5% of the male population."
Similarly: "If we are looking for a nonwhite female computer engineer 10-15 years of experience that is top 0.5% of her field and hasn't gone into management, there are only around 28 of them on the planet. Good luck." So management just hires whoever instead of actually trying to find one of the 28. Toxic.
