It only makes sense if we agree that every group cares only about themselves rather then the purpose of the institution / company.
The choice is simple, hire on merit and make sure the end product is the best or allow a free for all where the end result does not matter as long as your side gets more then the other groups.
Does your brother like new movies? "Diversity hires" are all pulling for their group rather then make a good movie. This is how we end up with feminist girl-bosses and black female Vikings. If he does not like the outcome in entertainment then why would he want such outcomes in anything state related.
Does he also want sports to "reflect how the country looks", if not why?
I’m in agreement with you. His answer was him twisting himself into knots and he simply said “that is different” when I brought up sports. I’d love for them to force sports leagues to hire based on DEI standards for one season. Hire on merit and ignore/kick out anyone who whines about disparity
I know, I was just meditating about why DIE backfires so much. It's not just that you get individuals that are less qualified It's also because they don't act in the greater interest, everyone just wants more for their group.
Movies are a great example of this but you can also see it with Indians in IT for instance.
I will but he is very entrenched on this. This also ties into the idea that girls need to see every scientific or engineering character as a woman so they can get into stem
I always laugh because the predictable outcome of pushing women, or anyone, into professions they aren't actually proficient or interested in leads to non imagined imposter syndrome. Reminds me of the girl who went viral after being given a job to meet a diversity quota at a large accounting firm and then writing an open letter to every employee lashing out because she had basically been stuck in the basement due to incompetence like in office space.
My older brother actually believes in the “reflect how the country looks” mentality. I asked him how that makes a better workforce
Daily reminder that what they think the country looks like has no bearing on reality.
