How to respond to coworkers saying non-white hires are priority...(srs)

I'm thinking to just keep my head down, mouth shut, and work my arse off but god damn is this chit getting to be blatantly racist.

-I work for city of Denver
-employer has had a lot of job openings lately
-none of new-hires for these roles in my department are white, and I mean NONE
-coworkers, hiring managers, and senior admin all saying that the strongest candidates are those who represent the "diverse" parts of our community
Cope first, cope hard, no realtea

Oof. I'd just hire whoever is most qualified. You should also speak your mind on the issue.

That said, depending on the job, even if a person isn't qualified for the job at first, they can acquire the skills while on the job.

There's nothing you can do. Work hard, get better, find a better job. Watch them suffer for hiring on skin color rather than best person for the job while you're making more money somewhere else.

Probably just shut your mouth and look after your own self interests instead of being an emotional retard and speaking out against it.

You’re a pleb with no clout, so best to just put your head down and worry about chit like this if you’re ever not a pleb.

"Well I was always raised that discrimination based on skin color was a bad thing."

If you can have a candid conversation, let them know they should work on their feelings of white guilt outside of work.

sucks. but thats the way of the world. no longer a meritocracy...esp in public service. thankfully IT is full of indians so there is no push for diversity...just a race to the bottom for barely passable solutions

Just use it as motivation to level up in life.

I’m also a pleb but don’t really care about societal issues and only care about myself so this type of thing doesn’t bother me.

You are kind of mogging them as it is now. Taking money from an organization who’s values you secretly despise.

I personally take great pleasure in having woke organizations pay me a ton of money.

How do they work out if someone identifies as white? I hope they aren’t just assuming race based on skin colour.

I'd absolutely wreck them If that was me. Not in an emotional or angry way, just extremely calm and basic logical set of questions to make them feel how ridiculous they are for saying that.

The easy way is to understand every single claim they make is bullchit and usually the opposite of truth. Tell them there's countless minorities like myself who have disdain for social justice initiatives because they are actually injustices that coddle minorities for being somehow deficient and misplace blame for historical crimes (muh colonialism) against modern white people. And any minority who doesn't subscribe to their bullchit is immediately minimized.

Most of those dumfuks don't even realize that the first victims of colonialism and imperial conquest were white Europeans who made a stand when the state began infringing on the people's liberties and assets. Just look up any peasant revolt ever. The ones actually fighting for colonialism were just the brainwashed cattle that were left over. And look who's doing it now with regards to Ukraine....idiot progressives.

i'd keep my mouth shut because unfortunately, it will screw you if you speak out about it. I play the game and if in an interview asked about "muh diversity" i'd go along and say how important it is, just to increase my chances of leveling up.

it's the way of the world now.

wish these mass shooters would go after these politicians and real "elite" if they wanted to make an actual difference.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

That's obviously illegal and you should not be a part of it. I would anonymously report it to a higher-up or to the media.

How is this not illegal? I know libs don’t care about the laws that aren’t woke - but maybe the white candidates who were passed up for being the wrong color should sue?

All major companies are doing this.

Makes me fukkn sick. I'm not racist BUT this new clown world is making me reconsider.

The best candidate should be hired.

Also when these libs say diversity they just mean less whites. White people ARE the minority. Do you think in china, india and Japan these brahs are going OUT OF THEIR WAY to hire white people?

Look at all the best run, safest, and wealthiest countries on the planet. What do they all have in common?

Once these white apologist lives accomplish their goals of less whites, do you think these diversity hires will return the favor and let them keep their jobs?

Yeah. That will solve it. Just sit back and dont worry about it he says.

What happens when you want to find a new job and your resume is tossed in the trash because you're too pale.

Or when it comes time to get that promotion you've worked 15 years for only for lakeisha with 3 years experience to get it because she ticks the boxes.
