You're right, I'm actually surprised my post is getting negative downvotes, it was only informative in my opinion. But perhaps the people I'm talking about are also on HN they're just silent on this topic due to efficient moderation.

Imagine actually being a minority, woman or any group like that and making a mistake. sucks.

Was it though? Your second paragraph is written in a way that it can easily be interpreted as "all critics of DEI hiring are racists". Is that a more sophisticated statement than "all minorities are incompetent"? Is being a racist the only reason someone might be opposed to quota-based hiring?

yes, it was. I was informing you that all critics of DEI outside of an actual discussion thread about DEI are racists and "DEI" in that context is equivalent to the n-word. I hope that clarifies my intent better.

To clarify, I'm not to keen on DEI either, but we're not really talking about DEI here are we now?
