Men have a tendency to believe that decreasing bias against women is associated with increasing bias against men, said Clara Wilkins, a professor at Wesleyan University who studies the psychology behind reverse discrimination.”
I wonder how she would feel if her University started “decreasing bias against men”....?
White conservative guys got that in the TV field.
I lived it. My bigger boss was a big liberal white man. It got to the point I had a meeting with him and spoke my mind. He got the picture when I mentioned veteran and discrimination.
Gee, ya think?
The article says that reverse discrimination is unlikely,but the reaily is, if you’re white, male, and especially middle-aged, you are absolutely discriminated against. They won’t even talk to you.
There is the “pre-screening” which is under the guise of EEOC.
Are you:
1) White
2) Male
3) Disabled
4) Veteran
5) Disabled Veteran
These are the equivalent to “Irish need not apply”.
I can guarantee you that I was this past year (not hired because I’m a ‘white’ male)...hiring committee broke all the ‘rules’...details too numerous to mention...thought about legal action but chose not to do so.
Maybe the writer should talk with the 15k HP employees fired back in 2004 and forced to train in their replacements from India.
Na, that would make them “Reporters” instead of part of the Media Propaganda Machine.
Welcome to my world, middle aged, white Techy.
Go to the back of the bus, Oh wait! I aint allowed on the bus.
Just claim to be white-Hispanic. Or check the “other” box.
Can’t get a STEM job?

If you guys think it’s bad here, you should see what’s going on in South Africa. In the US, at least, companies are still forced to hire some number of whites, simply because there aren’t enough nominally-qualified minorities. Whites (especially if Asians are counted) are the still the vast majority of people in the skilled and semi-skilled workforce.
In South Africa now, they actually have similar laws to the US, forcing companies to put less qualified blacks over whites when hiring. But when whites are only 10% of the population to begin with, guess what, they simply don’t get hired. So there is now an army of white, jobless people who, in a society that didn’t discriminate, would have tons of jobs to choose from...while many blacks (and similar) are simply clueless in high-responsibility positions - which pretty much explains why the country keeps dropping economically, compared to the rest of the world.
This is overall unemployment by demographics.

Falling Down comes to mind.
Feminism is a corporate tool for keeping working class families from rising to compete. They know that ingenuity resides in some of those families and seek to limit hiring to those who will not rise to compete.
What "class" are taught under the auspices of "diversity and inclusiveness" at the company.
Are any white males in that office?
Sue to obtain their recent hires...ethnicity and age of said hires.
The gynocentric media are going to report such things like this from a certain angle, deliberately. It’s disappointing and sad but not surprising.
When they use the phrase “reverse discrimination” instead of simply “discrimination”, you know it is a politically correct article with a Progressive ideology.
I have been turned down for four different special technical jobs by the Government because I was a white male.
All four times the agencies that really wanted to hire me were told by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that the positions had to be filled by a minority, woman, or both. There were no other people who applied that had the qualifications so OPM told them they would get extra money to give the new hire up to a year to train for the job. The problem was the jobs required years of experience and there was no way one year of training would ever suffice.
None of those four jobs were ever filled.
It's like the nation has lupus. This shit has to get reined in somehow. And the fact that pushing it is a deliberate core strategy of the democratic party is proof positive that--in the immortal words of Andrew Breitbart--"They are f*****g evil."
Even 9 years ago when I was last unemployed, there were numerous jobs open which I was qualified for, but part of the description was “diversity hire preferred” which is HR-ese for Whitey Need Not Apply.
Indians try to only hire Indians.
We need to STOP the H-1B program. America does not need any more foreign workers!
