It's not a "woke" argument: it's a core axiom of US Civil Rights law called "disparate impact" that dates back to 1971. Which isn't to say that your analysis is wrong; it just means that if you believe it's a recent phenomenon you have under-estimated how deep this assumption is embedded into our society.
Oh I am aware that the rot has been going on for a while, however the obsessive push for equity as mainstream is fairly recent. Back in the day, disparate impact was more of a way for crooked lawyers to push nonsense into the courts and make money while appearing to care about civil rights. Now, it's the rallying cry of the cult of woke. It's been cooking for a while and now it's boiling out of control.
Hey all, there is actually a special reason I am posting this on this win of all places. The video itself is relevant since it's about a very common argument from the type of woke mob that infests modern cultures, however I would like to get some feedback from this place in particular for one special reason:
Would people here want something similar for gamergate? I have been considering making a video that basically goes over everything in the wikipedia article on gamergate and doing a full rationality based expose/debunk on all the utter nonsense on that article.
Thanks for posting this. Honestly this obsession with perfect proportion is tearing this country apart. And disparate outcomes will happen regardless of race.
Agreed. People will have different interests. You can't force it. They always get mad when you ask why they don't apply the same diversity nonsense to sports.
The basic crux of their fallacy is that they think individual choices should average out to the group, and thus inequity between individuals should go away when we take it to the group level. This of course doesn't happen because groups don't share values. But in leftoid crazy land they think this shouldn't matter.
I know and also factor in that some people are willing to give more effort than others. But when someone is more successful they are brainwashed to believe it’s due to some nefarious reason.

Its genuinely insane to believe that the demographics of a particular field will or should match the demographics of the nation.

I think basketball needs more 5' tall Asian women
Exactly. I gave up trying to explain to the diversity obsessed people why they have unrealistic goals.
I would like anything documenting gamergate that makes it harder for the woke mob to rewrite history. The more of us writing about it the better.
Equality is a lie.
Leaves without elaborating
You clearly do not understand Woke. Let me illustrate with two clear examples:
Discrimination - Women are not enrolling on STEM majors because Math, Physics, Chemistry and Science in general are sexist.
Equity - Women comprise nearly 60% of all college students while men comprise only about 40%.
Pay gap - Women working less hours, less demanding jobs in aggregate make less money than men working more hours in more demanding jobs.
Equity - Single young urban women out earn single young urban men, because women are better at everything and men are toxic.
