Yeah i'm sure this guy murdered six people in cold blood because he didn't know it was wrong.

I don't know how you guys look at "we should promote and incentive women and minority groups to be part of fields in which they are underrepresented" and think that means "unqualified people should be given jobs because of their race/sex/gender."
-
What does that have to do with anything we're talking about. Exhibit A for why DEI programs are needed. What a caveman. It's fascinating that you assume a woman couldn't be qualified on merit. Does that apply to different races as well?
-
Well the issue is a lot of fields (STEM for example) have done a poor job of providing those opportunities on their own. No one is doing that. And there's women who want to be auto mechanics who don't become auto mechanics because that's a field that has been hostile to women. Recruitment isn't the right words so much as the people who choose to immigrate from these societies are ones with the resources to do so.

The Difference Between Palestinians and Israelis/Canadians
Black Dog replied to WestCanMan's topic in The Rest of the World
So what? The point is Israel is supposed to be this model democracy, remember? But if you wnat to lump them in with other autocracies, be my guest. I wonder how you people square the "Israel has a right to defend itself from the constant danger it faces" narrative with the "Jews are only safe in Israel" narrative. Because no one is lobbing rockets into Williamsburg Brooklyn. Tell that to the imperialist colonizers who divided up all these places arbitrarily then. Imagine thinking people from different countries with different cultures and different languages are "the exact same" because they share a religion. By this reasoning, Italians and Mexicans are exactly the same lmao. Who are you quoting here? Completely different countries, totally irrelevant comparison. Whatever burr you have up your ass about Pakistan is your problem; it has nothing to do with Israel's conduct. -
No it's partly due to selective recruitment of highly educated Asian immigrants from certain countries. I've never actually seen any evidence this happens.
-
"The laws and policies aren't discriminatory!" The idea that people weren't discriminated against in hiring before DEI came around is completely at odds with reality. Because some of them might be good at it and make valuable contributions to their fields? What a dumbass question.
-
So they way things were before DEI?

They put a guy in jail for 110 days and he faces 8 years just for organizing an anti war protest, you really know f*ck all about this do you. In Israel West bank settlers are issued weapons by the government to carry out attacks on Palestinians, attacks that frequently take place under the watchful eye of security forces. Again, you obviously you don't know what you're talking about. What an insult to the millions of Jewish people who live happily and successfully in Canada, the U.S.A and other western countries. Ridiculous. Again, if you can't understand the difference between a majority in a territory wanting their own state to protect themselves from the majority and a minority group wanting a state so they could import millions of their coreligionists to become the majority, I have no idea what to tell you. Again, this is literally whataboutism. You are physically incapable of defending Israel without invoking things other people in other places do. LOL I still haven't the faintest idea why you think Arabs/Muslims in Palestine should be held responsible or judged based on the actions of people from a completely different country with a completely different culture, language etc. -
Who said anything about that? I sure didn't. Sure. But I don't think these are necessarily innate preferences. But the problem goes deeper than simply access to information about a field. There are plenty of fields where participation by outgroups has been systemically discouraged and a lack of representation begets a lack of participation. This assumes that there are no barriers to entry beyond financial ones, which I don't think is the case. The world where this happens has never existed, you know that right?
-
That doesn't really answer my question. Like? What's wrong with that? But maybe some should be?
-
Here's a question: do you think it's worth encouraging certain groups from pursuing careers in fields where they are historically underrepresented?

No there isn't. I have no idea where you;re finding this shit. So you don't think imprisoning or beating anti-war protesters in Israel (a so-called democracy) has the effect of cowing or suppressing dissent? Tell that to the Zionists who believe it. Partitioned by foreign powers against the wishes of the majority of the popultion. Weird how you don't mention what happened to the Muslims in India during partition. But Pakistan is completely irrelevant here, a distraction. Wait do you think the million deaths that occurred during India's partition were all Sihks/Hindus? lol you stupid pig. -
"Asian" people tend to do better when you ignore the disparities that exist within that grouping. It's kind racist to lump more than 25 million people (U.S. Asian population) into one group and define them by stereotypical traits.
-
Offering scholarships to disadvantaged groups isn't an "equal outcome" it's literally an opportunity. They still have to meet the same academic requirements as anyone else.

Do you think financial or other hardships are equally distributed across all racial groups, genders, religions, and ethnicities?

The video in it was removed and it was the video the article was talking about. There was no other video in the article. So: wtf are you even talking about, ******? I mean I could say the exact same thing about non-whacko Israelis given the Israeli government has systematically banned, restricted, and attacked antiwar protests since Oct. 7. "God gave the Jews the land" is one of the arguments underpinning the Zionist movement. As for the oppression thing, being oppressed and discriminated against in other countries doesn't give them the right to the land others occupy. Pakistani Muslims were already the majority in the areas that were partitioned, whereas Israel's population in 1947 was 31% Jewish, yet they were given 56% of the country. Approximately half of Palestine's predominantly Arab population, 750,000 people, fled from their homes or were expelled by Zionist militias and later the Israeli army in what is now Israel proper, which covers 78% of the total land area of the former Mandatory Palestine. All you dipshits have is whataboutism. You can't actually defend Israel on its own merits. -

You notice how in the original link there's a big block that says "video removed"? The one I just posted was that video. You asked every single Palestinian on their stance of spitting on corpses did you? You have to pick a fake fairytale to give the Jews any claim to the land they've occupied. -
The fact you use this as an excuse to resent Black people as opposed to the institution administering the scholarships tells me you're looking for excuses to resent Black people. There's lots of scholarships, awards and other funding out there for people with different backgrounds, ethnicities and fields of study, what's the big deal.

I have no idea what video you watched. The original is here. You really don't know how many Israelis are extremist whackos, do you? You're not going to convince me that spitting on a corpse is somehow more depraved than looting someone's home before blowing it up, driving a truck over the corpse of someone you just shot, or dropping white phosphorous on kids. -

Israelis celebrate Gaza kids’ deaths: In video from Tel Aviv demonstration, crowd can be seen chanting, ‘There is no school tomorrow; there are no children left in Gaza’ Israeli soldiers have been filming themselves mocking Palestinians and posting it on social media as they continue their offensive in Gaza. Israel's Far Right Ministers Dance & Warn Palestinians To Leave Gaza, Tell Settlers To Return And of course this one from before the current Israeli assault: Israelis gather on hillsides to watch and cheer as military drops bombs on Gaza -

Black Dog replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
If this were true, you would not have to lie about or re-write other people's arguments while failing to marshal evidence to support your own. But you do that constantly. There's two types of insane conservatives on here: the god-boys who se mental illness manifests as irrational spiritual beliefs and then dipshits who are utterly convinced of their intellectual prowess despite having the collective IQ of a compost bin. You're one of the dipshits, dipshit. -
