Diversity Jobs Are Drying Up As Big Businesses Tighten Their Belts
Daily CallerNov 25, 2022
The Facts
On Thursday, a group of 13 Republican state attorneys general submitted a letter to all Fortune 100 companies warning that race-based hiring policies might currently be unconstitutional in the aftermath of the SCOTUS decision last month that ended race-based admissions policies at colleges.
While singling out about a dozen companies — including Apple, Meta, and Uber — the letter suggested that any businesses which "engage in racial discrimination" would face "serious legal consequences."
The Spin
Republican narrative
Even if well-intentioned — as these diversity programs claim to be — any type of discrimination is immoral and illegal. These companies, competing for the "woke" badge, are weighing candidates based on sentimental social engineering rather than merit. If they continue to favor members of any one race over another, they must be prepared to deal with the legal consequences.
Democratic narrative
It’s been proven that diversity is good for business and society as a whole. Instead of accepting that, officials are threatening some of the drivers of the US economy with legal action over the preposterous notion that white people are the ones being discriminated against. This letter has no moral or legal basis.
