Cuban posted a rambling reply to this about how most hiring criteria is subjective. Still don't see why he can't hire a 5 foot Japanese chick for a center
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain."
So many genius engineers named Jamal out there, but companies just won't give them a chance!
It's all just bullshit buzzword salad. Anyone with a brain knows "DEI" entails hiring people who are black or whamen or gay or something just for the sake of it even if they aren't the most skilled. Cuban himself probably also knows that deep down. But instead he acts like it is instead about finding these hidden gems in the rough that are passed up by everyone else. What a retarded virtue signal.
I was thinking about that a few days ago even before this "debate" popped up. There are different kinds of elites. You've got old money and new money, grifters, politicians, and businessmen. A lot of the people we think of as self-made entrepreneurs are really from old money families. Bill Gates and Elon Musk for example. (look at the connections from Gates's dad to intelligence agencies) At least with Musk we know he grew up seeing the anti-White racism in South Africa, really loved America, and went off on his own for a while to succeed by his own merits.
Cuban is like this dumb proletariat consoomer who stumbled into money being at the right place at the right time before the dotcom bubble burst. We can argue that people like Bill Gates or George Soros are the evil conspirators behind Globohomo, but Cuban is a useful idiot. I'm convinced the only reason they let him stay in the media spotlight for so long is because he says exactly what they want.
I have a pretty good respect for Musk now. Think back to a couple of years ago. The guy literally had it all: crazy rich, and he was still the darling of all the imbecile "science, bitch!" leftists on reddit/internet and in the media (Seriously - they used to felatiate him non-stop). Despite all that, he was willing to put a significant amount of wealth on the line in an attempt to disrupt the insane levels of censorship the left was exercising on the internet - the new public square.
We've all seen the non stop attacks on him now directly because of him disrupting their near total control of the public dialogue. He's also lost a ton of money on that deal. Yet, he's still willing to put himself out there, and while he doesn't always come down on the right side, at least he's been willing to speak some sanity like he is here.
Guy's definitely not perfect, but at least he's been willing to do something. I respect it.
When I’ve tried to use the affirmative actions argument against them by using sports I’ve always been told “that’s different” and they never explain why
You don't even have to go as far out there as sports to point out their hypocrisy. What about teaching? Men have been all but driven out of teaching until you get to the high school level, it's massively effecting our sons, and the imbeciles on the left do absolutely nothing to address it. If they were serious about making sure everyone was being represented in all careers, where are the programs (I.E., discriminating on behalf of men - hand out scholarships to get them teaching credentials, and then discriminating in the hiring process to land them jobs) to change it?
What about college degrees? They have advantaged women to such a degree that colleges are now something like 2/3 women, and what have these righteous crusaders for "equality" done to help boys/men? We aren't even talking about creating programs to help boys. They won't even drop the programs to bias everything towards girls, when it's girls that are in the majority now.
They don't explain why, because they don't have to. The left owns the media (traditional/internet). They decide what the narrative is. They - by and large - decide what the public is enraged about. The media will never point out that they are assholes and hypocrites, and - most importantly - knowing that, and being called that wouldn't move them in the slightest. They just wanted power. It's that simple. They have zero ideological problems with discrimination; they just wanted to be the ones in charge of who is doing the discrimination.
The argument I've heard is they believe professional sports are like dogfighting.
Sure, the players do it voluntarily (but the dogs want to fight!), get paid millions, and become famous, but actually they're exploited and abused. And of course the teams are mostly black because they're so much easier to trick into being players.
It's different because to them white people aren't dumb enough to be in sports so it's good that they aren't.
I'm making my confused Jackie Chan face listening to them literally compare blacks to savage dogs while they claim they are anti-racists.
Also, I’ve always hated how a black athlete making millions is taken seriously when he whines about being oppressed or racism. Who do you think buys the most tickets?
I’ve never heard that rationalization but it doesn’t surprise me. Would make for a great comedy if sports leagues were forced to have affirmative action

It would certainly get ratings. For the one game at least.

Fucking thank you. We've really fallen when we're linking directly to Fox News.

Cuban is such a fucking clown.

You may not agree, but I take it as a given that only straight white males are regularly excluded from hiring consideration.
Unless the company is small and deals directly with a critical government sector. Then it is mostly huwyte folks.
Mark Cuban is the worst.

Cognitive dissonance. They know they can't answer so try to dismiss it with weasel words and insults if you don't drop the subject.
When it's the NBA, somehow it's suddenly possible to measure quantitative merit

Great point. I didn’t have a male teacher until middle school. I do wonder how boys would develop if you had male elementary school teachers

It's self explanatory.
And especially white men.
