This idea was never thought out in the first place and was a bad idea from the start. Quotas MUST discriminate. Pushing for diversity MUST discriminate racially. There is no other way around it, never was. The problem is that you couldn't criticise these measures, so no one thought about the ramifications because thinking about the implications of this was forbidden. Just the idea that someone is more 'diverse' than another is beyond silly. This is LITERALLY Racism, scoring people based on their race. All around companies are doing this for diversity metrics, ranking people on race just like the Third Reich was doing. Let me repeat, it is common practice in the West to literally rate the value of people based on their race, and this is done by people who say they are socially progressive. I learned over 20 years ago that this is was identity politics, and just a ploy to attack or diminish one group over an other. --- MultiMail/Linux v0.52 þ Synchronet þ MS & RD BBs - bbs.mozysswamp.org .
