are you making a claim that sexual identity and race (two most common DEI factors) are part of the job ?

how is being a black lesbian part to any job whatsoever ?




No, I'm making a claim that a sloppy argument was made.

You are focusing on factors that you consider obvious, which is exactly my point, using your subjective judgement doesn't give you a framework that isn't subjective.


You have constructed and debating a strawman.

Everything involving human judgement will be subjective, yet we still can distinguish between good and bad decisions and discuss tradeoffs about being less wrong while being subjective


I don't think it's a straw man. No one has actually solved hiring, "best" isn't defined.

Like people are freaking out about any sort of DEI factor even getting considered and then actually hiring based on how Phil vibes with the candidate. Good stuff.
