“Diversity Hire”

[Po pimp]

I’m reading through the last few pages of that Rachel Nichols thread, and I can’t believe what I’m reading. Black men (I’m assuming they’re black) calling themselves “diversity hires” and saying Rachel Nichols has a point. They don’t even realize that by calling themselves that, they’re implying white people should automatically be granted the position and they only got it because they’re black. There are SO MANY unqualified white people who have been given positions they don’t deserve, and y’all trying to cape? Not only that, if you feel as though you’re merely a “diversity hire,” why would you want to work at a place like that in the first place? Have some gotdamn self confidence in yourself. shyt’s embarrassing.

This is correct.

You can be deserving of the job and still be a diversity hire.

That's the point I was trying to make in that thread. I think some people felt I was trying to justify something.

If you believe those are really black posters, I got the deed for i-95 and I'm selling it for the low price of 10k just for you.

Most people on here are black. I think dummies like you that think alllll black people have the exact same thoughts are the ones that aren't black and or just flat out stupid.

I haven't read that deep into that Rachel thread, but I saw the quote some dude made about diversity hires. To think there are (supposed) black people think so low of themselves that they can only be hired because of the color of their skin and not because they can actually work is....sad.

yup...and if I was promoted/hired for diversity purposes...I couldn't care less whether I was qualified of unqualified for the position...i'd take it and smile....besides, white people weren't crying about it when their grand daddies were getting it over my grand daddy..so why should I care now?

Shyt, I've seen white people hired to positions that no one else would have gotten...but somehow they were chosen and they just happen to be friends or related to the manager

I think I may have been a diversity hire at my first job out of college because it was a small team of about 8 people. But I also went to the same college as the publisher so that definitely played a part as well

I don’t know. I’ve been in the company of some black folks who have said similar. Talking about “I don’t want to get hired over a deserving white man” as if their black ass haven’t been passed over for positions by unqualified white people.

All these immigrants are counting on diversity job opportunities.. You believe they’re embarrassed?

Diversity hire in a sense of demographics, sure. But she was implying that Taylor was a diversity hire like she wasnt qualified and undeserving.

You gotta realize this site like damn near anywhere else is full of cowards. Once the "narrative" is put out there you can't go against it or folks want to jump on you. Dudes just say things and use no nuance to it at all. I got what you're trying to say but that takes seeing things in good faith which some on here don't do because they want to be seen as a non c00n when that phrase has truly lost all meaning.
