How the F does diversity of skin color or gender help research into Ferric Oxides?

It is what it is, no matter how White, Straight, or Male you are or aren't.

they don't care about results, they just want equal hiring because they pretend that every person is a clone of another and can replace each other like NPC's.

Or maybe they just want free shit they haven't earned.

Can you imagine a distinguished professional audience, perhaps a paying audience, sitting through some speaker who digresses into opinions he got from Fox, Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Breitbart, etc. because he thinks they make him sound smart.

"Professional Audience" - aka people paid to pretend they like Hillary Clinton.

The real way of fighting this is for everyone to just start checking off hispanic on their applications.

Patrick says

He's Iranian.

He should be gay, though, to make it legitimate, and I don't think many Iranians do gay.

Eff that, I'm black

I’m a black female.
I check everything if multiple choice too.

I've told this story before but in grad school, they gave me a fellowship because they thought I was hispanic. They flipped a shit on the year end reporting because I did not check off the box. Having the conversation with them that I wasn't hispanic and can't check off the box was pretty amusing. By me not checking the box, they were going to miss the quota of hispanic students. I'm pretty sure the secretary illegally checked it before sending it out.

They solved the problem the next year. They imported a few students from University of Puerto Rico to do a visiting position and counted them as their minority students. Ironically, they were much better than the domestic minorities in the program.

No.

The conference would suffer walkouts and bad reviews in technical journals.

Liberal comments would draw the exact same problems.

@jazz_music Maybe you mean well, but that just isn't true. Not even close.

Liberal comments would get him compliments, and invited again by the organizers. Just like the Academy Awards etc. The bias is entirely one-sided in these things, 100%.

You have free speech only to agree with your corporate globalist liberal overlords. No other use allowed in any professional setting.

Think of it this way. When white folks become a small enough minority in the U.S., and injustices of the past are far enough back in the rear view mirror, white racism will be much better tolerated in the corporate world (at mid level management and lower).

And I'm sure by then you will no longer see articles in highly respected publications touting the benefits of ethnic diversity.

Meanwhile, we gotta build that fucking wall !

jazz_music says

You want to say that the industry is so oppressive that no right wing lunatics can complain or walk out? or write up complaints in their favorite professional journals? Really?

That is precisely what you seem to be saying here.

I prefer to call them "moderates" because it's the truth.

And yes, moderates' complaints will not be listened to, nor published in their favorite professional journals.

The clerk here is someone who is not moderate, and is in fact very typical of the left:

Keep telling yourself that Patrick.

Left will never promote Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro. But they’ll completely advertise any asshole who is pro prefirencial diversity hiring or pro gay.

Left decided that talent doesn’t matter, only race, gender, sexual choices. Stupid people.

Keep telling yourself that Patrick.

I wouldn't call that person typical of the left. But what I can say with much certainty is that the majority of the left would approve of his actions.

Patrick says

Management is legally obligated to "act in the best interest of shareholders".

Hiring managers bonus is tied to meeting diversity goals.

I think moderation gives few moderators way too much power.

My fav: "Geography of Women's Bodies"

Dumbassery. Geo means Earth. Unless women have a molten core of iron and plate tectonics, there is no geography of women's bodies.

No, but maybe that course offers "surface exploration" of hills and valleys and some "deep drilling." Maybe even a "furrow" or two.

Having the conversation with them that I wasn't hispanic and can't check off the box was pretty amusing

Even more amusing if you had that conversation in Spanish.
