Based on objective measurements of competency. Whites and especially white men out perform hispanics, blacks, and women in the vast majority of fields. The result of hiring based solely on competency would severely reduce the number of blacks, hispanics, and women for consideration in most fields.
Some white people and some men (the super-duper hitlerian deplorables) realize this and that's why they support focussing solely on competency. Most don't and beleive competency should be the focus because it is "fair" and objective.
Either way, focussing on competency is the only way to maintain a civilization and should be the only metric used. But we should be aware that it means fewer hispanics, blacks, and women will be considered for high status jobs.
I'm assuming, based on reading some of your other comments, that you missed the point of my earlier comment. What I was alluding to is that race and sex can be used to roughly predict competency and vice versa.
It is in the interest of whites and men to focus on competency because they are largely competent.
It is not in the immediate interest of hispanics and blacks to have competency based hiring policies because they are largely incompetent.
I say immediate interest because on an individual level most people want power, status, or wealth. Their immediate and selfish interest is to get jobs that will get them those things. Since blacks, hispanics, and women are largely incompetent, our civilization that produces so much power, status, and wealth, will be destroyed if too many incompetents are given jobs beyond their abilities. Which they would be able to see if they were not incompetent.
