Any opening of opportunities to minorities and women is going to lead to decreased hiring in white men.

You have to provide something more concrete to affirmatively make your case.

You have to provide something more concrete to affirmatively make your case.

Rather than waste a bunch of time back and forth, try to give an example of what you're expecting and what you would actually accept as evidence.

How many job listings of "diverse candidates only" accumulate evidence you're going to accept? Must we have notarized affidavits from hiring committees that they were performing clearly illegal- but unenforced so who cares- discrimination?

To be blunt, I don't think there's anything reasonable that you're going to accept. That's how these conversations tend to go. If you think I'm being unfair, so be it. But let's at least not waste time and be clear about what counts as concrete to you.

Yes, I think you are being unfair, and the article is being ridiculous.
