“Prioritizing?” Absolutely not. Every decision we make, every single day of our lives, is a balance of priorities, where one rises above others.
The decision to workout or sleep in. The decision to stay late and push an idea or settle for “good enough.”
What we choose to prioritize is merely a reflection of what we value.
When we prioritize race in hiring, all we are doing is deciding that, in this moment, for this role, in this company, bringing in someone with a different set of experiences is more important than other things. Not that those things are unimportant. A good book is still important. Killer ideas are still important. On point presentation skills are important too. But racial diversity is more important.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
I gave plenty of good answers. I just refuse your framing, which confuses sports salaries with reparations and assumes someone like me must be a “he”
Our society is racist, and at the institutional level the way that racism works in this country is to give power and opportunities to white people and thereby deprive them from people who are not white. That is not debatable, which means racism is a factor in every hiring decision whether we admit it or not. Since not hiring people based race is not an option, choosing to intentionally hire people who are not white is not racist, it is facing the reality of how racism affects people and working against it to prevent it from disproportionately depriving people of color of opportunities.
@SeniorPlanner1- is your family European or Asian?
Yes.
It is not only racist but discourages anyone from trying as hard as they can for a job, learning how to deal with failure, and finding new ways to improve themselves. (I would be considered a minority)
Chief
Sounds like you're describing much of the status quo.
Nah
Yes.
Yes.
It’s bias. Not sure if it’s racist. But if I had the choice of two similarly talented candidates my vote might go for the minority. They def need the encouragement and the platform. to be noted I am a minority.
Casting a TV campaign has plenty of questionable conversations. That’s hiring people as well.
