Five finalists are selected by a hiring committee for a tenure-track faculty position at a reputable regional university. The candidates are ranked based on skills and competencies. The top applicant is white. The second place is held by an Asian American and the third by an African American. Who do you think should get the job?
In a merit-based system, the top-ranked individual should be hired. His or her race must not be factored in. Our laws, from the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to federal and state civil-rights statutes, dictate race neutrality. But in our present-day reality, wherein decisions are so often filtered through the culturally prevailing prisms of race and identity, the most qualified applicant is often refused a job offer if he or she is not a so-called underrepresented minority (URM).
The University of Washington (UW), the number-one public university in the Evergreen State, where racial preferences in public employment and public education have been banned since 1998 via the citizen-approved Initiative 1000, has furnished the public with the latest example of ideology overtaking merit and law. The school was recently revealed by an internal whistleblower to have awarded a less-qualified applicant “of color” a Department of Psychology faculty position in April 2023, overlooking white and Asian candidates who were ranked higher in the selection process.
Initially, the search for a “Diversity in Development” faculty member produced 84 applicants, five of whom were selected as finalists. The department’s hiring committee unanimously decided on the order of offers after consulting an internal hiring rubric, with first place going to a white applicant, second to an Asian American, and third to an African American. The committee then prepared an offer letter to the strongest candidate, who happened to be white.

White is a color.
No racism here...

E xcellent
I ndividuals
Well, it just so happens that I have a color
Interesting data. Small West Virginia has twice as many as California... Texas has 10X of New York... Florida has 4X as many as Illinois...
Big dummycrat states don’t seem to be well represented for some reason.
“the most qualified applicant is often refused a job offer if he or she is not a so-called underrepresented minority”
There are reasons why they are “underrepresented”
Valid reasons.
BTTT
The bue states demand DEI and Woke BS so what used to be normal colleges for everyone are for everyone but white people.
In reality, based on what they’re teaching, white folks are better off because you come out dumber than when you went in.
I wouldn’t hire any college graduate today because the majority are narcissistic liberal idiots.
Thankfully I’m not in the workforce anymore. I’d be HRO’s worst nightmare.
