It has always been my dream as a white man to apply to a job created for a young black man from a low income family. Some day I will be able to do so without fear of persecution.

To whoever went through and downvoted everyone: we see you.

Your kids will hate you and it will be your fault.

I really hope this is the stuff that turns the squishy middle against them. I know some trans kids and I’m scared to death of shit like this for them.

But I also know most people see trans kids as weird and scary as a concept, and are ready to go along with this fear.

Listen to the kids.

Not sure about the transgender drugs, but depending on how they approach “race based hiring” that might actually win them some votes.

There are a lot of people who have had issues with that, including people who are visible minorities but are concerned that people will consider them a “minority hire” rather than one based on skill/merit.

I can understand how that’s be pissed off, as the ones I know or worked very hard to obtain their positions and apparently found themselves beside some people who very obviously… did not and felt that race might have be an influential factor in hiring/promotion.

What I actually meant is in not sure how their policies on such will influence votes.

I lost a job offer, way back, and I was told on the sly by a trusted insider it was a demographic issue.

It stings. I know my capabilities and the post was a dream job that suited my positives perfectly. And I lost it because I was the wrong sex/race/ability/whatever.

but even in the pit of my own trivial self-pity I’m not gonna revenge-vote for people who’ll fuck everything else up just so snowflakes like me don’t need to feel that sting. I’m a grown-ass adult with only moderate entitlement.

The math doesn’t work. I’m a big fan of jobs going to the most qualified, period, but this is a baby/bathwater thing and it’s just not worth it.

The question is how many other people might vote on this or other similar stuff. Lemmy is still mostly populated by people who probably are a bit more intellectual (and willing to think beyond a single issue) but out of the overall voting pool…?
