If they really cared about not discriminating against X demographic, they would’ve just passed a law saying that asking for identifying information such as gender, ethnicity, etc on an application is illegal. Can’t help but wonder if they knew that hiring people based only on their qualifications wouldn’t produce the diversity they were hoping for, and would expose some ugly truths.

Yep, the absolutely last thing they want is a blind interview process.

That's why they're pushing the "post meritocracy " narrative. Competency is a male tool of oppression. Therefore we need an actively curated, diversified team. Meaning, not white.

Personally i think you should be able to discriminate who to hire in your own business, especially about which employees you want to have around.

Even if they are perfectly capable of doing whatever the job requires them to do, do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, destroy the life of one of your employees with a false rape accusation and with that the reputation of your own business or even cause you legal troubles?

Do you really want to hire someone that you know is genetically more inclined to violence?

Do you really want to hire someone that might turn your business into shit following feminist ideas like they did at Google?

Do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, start demanding equality of outcome instead than equality of opportunity and meritocracy?

Discrimination is a way to protect yourself, your employees and your business. Why aren't you allowed to do so?

That is exactly what happened.
