I read about a slide in a leftist presentation that said the following: any attempt to attribute disparities of outcome to anything other than discrimination is itself an act of discrimination.

If you believe that any disparity between people is earned or otherwise correct, then you are literally a racist. Under this rubric, work ethic and talent are magically and perfectly distributed evenly across every identity demographic. Therefore, every disparity in success between identity groups is automatically classified as stolen via systemic discrimination. Sound familiar?

Diversity quotas are the policy manifestation of this neo-communism. If identity becomes your most important criteria for assigning roles and responsibilities, and the distribution of merit between groups is not equal, then your organization will necessarily suffer a collapse in competency.
