That's a very general and untrue statement. Percieved prejudice by a certain political affiliation doesn't mean it's generally true.

I'm sorry to have seem to many cases of feminist shumming and shaming women and desiring they get raped to show how much they need feminism, and equivalents on black movements.

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)

Each person is different, so considering diversity only by looking at gender and race is very bad and can get you no benefits.

Race/Sex/ect are just a broad lazy way of bringing diversity. Take two white males. You can easily find two that are so different from one another from experiences, upbrining, values, education, ect. Those two white males would be more diversity than say a brother and a sister, even though they are a male and a female.

It's just easier for a company to stereotype people and hire that way than to go into depth and find out true diversity.

One thing I find annoying is when thye bring up % as to who should be hired. Like saying 50% of americans are female, so we need a 50% ratio of males to females working. Or 20% blacks, so 20% black workforce, ect. Meanwhile, lets say we look at the IT field. (Fake #'s ahead) If you look at graduates in that field, 75% of them are male and only 5% of them are black. How can you expect Google to have a 50% female and 20% black workforce. The qualified canidates out there do not support those numbers. They could hire every female and black person that appleis and still not meet their quota. Meanwhile, the white males are being discrimated against and not getting jobs they may be better qualified for.
