Race based diversity recruiting?
Let’s hear it 🍿🍿🍿 Please justify your answers below if you have the courage to
Racist towards Asians
It’s counter racism
Explain
They’re blatantly being biased against white, indian, and asian males. I’m actually a hiring manager and when I was at G, I have seen an instance of 2 applicants one is average joe and other one is a minority. Although the minority performed fairly worse than the average joe the minority got the job. Personally I don’t give a crap about bias I want to hire the most qualified person. I could give a shit whether they’re black, white, man, woman etc. But to improve their diversity numbers they have a lower bar, which is unfair to others who are more qualified.
Where's the "It's racist." option?

Ironically white Americans are becoming a minority in most of FAANG and Bay Area tech companies. Anyway, it’s racist to discriminate based on race. Period. The way to improve diversity is to source from diverse talent pools. For example, go to African American fraternities/sororities or professional groups (Black Girls Who Code), stuff like that.
Preferencing race above all is leading to much weaker hires which impacts the company overall. Companies who do not buy into this BS will automatically have a competitive advantage.
Companies want to hire the best to compete against everyone else in the world. India has 4 times the population of the US, China’s is a little bit higher. Let’s be VERY generous and assume for one second that the traits/skills needed to be a good engineer are equally distributed amongst the world’s population. Now let’s extrapolate this data to ethnicity and ask ourselves; what company would seriously consider competing against the entire world with just a fraction of its population? Shouldn’t one feel special if they don’t feel racially represented in their workplace?
It's there to reduce wages by increasing the job pool
Why is having racial diversity at a company even beneficial? Obviously I understand an inclusive environment. What inherit value does hiring people simply because they are an underrepresented minority add?
