The most qualified person should always get the job... period. If that means all women, all whites, all blacks or all gays working within a company, so be it. |
While I agree that the most qualified shoudl get the job. I mean it doesn't seem fair if you have more experience, more education, interview better, ect and someone else gets the job?
But diversity can be a benefit. People of difference cutlures, races, sexes, ect all have different upbringings, experiences, points of views, ect. A woman may look at a probelm different than a man, so having all men in a group may not ever see a certain solution or problem. She may not be as "qualified" as another man that applied, but her being a woman and having a different way of looking at things may be more important than his GPA being higher.
So the most qualified person may not always be the most right person for the job. So I'm all for diversity for those reason. I'm against diversity for what seems to be the reason in todays world though. Fitting a quota for good publicity, being PC, ect. Companies and their diversity agendas feel more like them donating to charity than them actually believing that it will help their business. (You know they do it for the good publicity, and possibly some tax incentive even)
