in a lot of cases it's pretty good to be a white dude who doesn't bang other dudes but in situations like the one he outlines in there he's not all wrong.

Straight white (christian) dudes have been the ruling class for a while... western society has basically been built to cater to us, so any attempt to even the playing field will naturally look like an attempt to put us down.

Here's the thing, you can't refuse to provide a service to someone based on their gender/orientation/religion/race... that's discrimination... but an employee is allowed to refuse work based on their moral objections.

It's two separate situations that seem similar enough to be confusing... and it doesn't help when you have far-right media personalities willingly spinning them that way.


Mind you, I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't take a job you know will interfere with your beliefs.

You cannot discriminate in your hiring process based on gender/religion/orientation/race/etc. so why is it okay that I can be blocked from a job because I'm a white dude and they need to hit their diversity quotas?

when I was 18 or 19 I did the RCMP aptitude test one day just like that.

with your application you had to attach a picture.


a few month later I got a letter telling me CLEAN that I had score in the acceptable range for visible minorities but not for white dudes.

It's not.

Pretty sad companies can't be trusted to hire a diverse group, though.

Where I live there simply AREN'T enough minorities to fill a lot of these jobs, and so there are positions that go unfilled with some government agencies because there are almost exclusively the whitest people on the planet here.

You all are diverse even if you are white

Some of you stink, some of you are mentally challenged, some of you are lunatics who cheer for the Senaturds

Yea, that's pretty dumb.

the Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986 to ensure inclusion in the workplace of four groups — women, visible minorities, aboriginals and persons with disabilities. But, he said, it excludes “one specific group.”

How about the soon to be appointed Liberal Cabinet? It's going to based, in part, on whether or not someone has a penis or not, instead of merit or competency.

I don't think quotas are allowed in the US. At least in colleges I believe. Schools can set a number they'd like to meet and they can apply bonus points to a resume if the applicant is diverse, but they can't outright accept the best black students until they reach 10% or whatever the number is.
