So in this scenario, what exactly is the equal outcome supposed to be exactly? Affording education? Being accepted into a job that you’re qualified for in a diverse setting which is preferred scientifically considering workspaces and study groups benefit more from diversity of lived experience, background and origin?

Equal outcome would be for example getting picked for a job position over somebody who is better qualified because you belong to a minority group.

Does this actually happen as much as you claim it does or are some people pissy that the establishment they applied to decided, between equally qualified candidates, to pick the one that would add to their diversity? Or are you implying (I don’t even need to ask if you’re from the US) that most minorities only ever get a job/scholarship not because of their own efforts, but because they’re receiving handouts and of course could never actually be qualified for anything?

Microsoft and Target do this, to name 2 big ones. They don’t explicitly say so, but no respectable company will ever admit to discriminating against anyone and they’re both proudly showing off how diverse they are.

Don’t get me wrong, I personally don’t have any issues with diversity, I have an issue with people getting places they shouldn’t be because they are in a specific group. Whether that’s an elitist white male group or a minority group, I believe all discrimination is wrong.
