I'll never be able to wrap my head around the fact that in the real world so many companies from so many different sectors of society have actually implemented these terrible policies. When I worked as a freight stocker at a grocery store, we had to listen to an introduction talking about racism. When I worked as an administrative secretary, there was a "power and privilege" manual there, too. It's sheer madness and greed beyond anything I could have imagined.
Federal govt. has to do the same. Contracts with 3 awards will mandate 1 must be female owned and 1 must be minority but they can't be the same one. So you can't just do one female minority. Almost always just burning money. Most of the 'title XX' are setup the same way but with more or less subtlety.
Diversity, Equality, Inclusion...how does that work if you are actively excluding a person based on their colour? Whatever happened to employing the best person for the job.

Out of curiosity. Is anything similar happening in Microsoft ? (the reason I'm asking is EEE - maybe all this drama we see in OS world is a long-term strategy to discredit the whole movement and force US gov to only buy from "reputable sources", like... Microsoft, of course).
Even losing to the point that the entities are dissolved won't make any difference unless the individuals behind the policies are also destitute and/or imprisoned.
There were many unbelievable things I learned during an electrical apprenticeship. Being told by an instructor we were the wrong minorities for a scholarship was the most confusing part of it. That was the entire reason I signed up. At least I got a coffee mug at the orientation with the Arioch scholarship. I had to get three years of perfect attendance and exam scores to find out I don't qualify lmao. Then being told that the 'special' employees we had were DEI hires. If they aren't competent enough to protect life and property then they don't qualify to do that job do they? I had to take a pre-aptitude exam to qualify for the next aptitude exam to see how we would place on a special relations and dexterity tests. Anyway, I was forced into some awful work related Anti-White and DEI complaint issues. It was very odd and uncomfortable to be around people who were looking for racism in everything. It got so bad, to make a long story short, I did go to court and the judge tells me I should try talking about it on social media to find more help. Because why? DEI and reverse racism? That's not what I want to do with my life, I wanted to do my job building things. Well, good luck people of Earth.
Ikr? Stop looking for race in everything and guess what happens? …racism magically dissipates instantly. Why can’t they understand this? Lol it’s just spectacular
I want to point out that the judge has a lot of discretion as to how long they take to make even the smallest pretrial ruling.

@@xpusostomosThe judges of a circuit decide whether to join cases, and it is a decision made by a vote of all judges of that circuit. Sometimes, judges on a circuit will campaign to time that vote and which way it will go, before bringing it to a vote. See the 9th Federal Circuit.

This might explain my incomprehensible IBM coding question recently (a lot of other Glassdoor reviews were just given fizz buzz and such). Glad I failed now.
hm. that would be a clever way to discriminate and get away with it, because afaik (private/corporate) companies are not required to publish the tests / hiring process.
That is how they discriminated at universities in the Society Union, if the examiner didn't like you, they would give you an Olympiad level math question, it could seem to only need school math to understand, but it's in fact very hard to figure out, or a proof for some theorem instead of just a problem that uses it, something most people don't try to remember
What about Microsoft with those anti-white slideshows? For doing this, these companies are dead to me, and I don't think I can ever forgive.

Don't get your hopes up. The Legal system is a very iffy bet as it stands when it comes to these issues. All it takes is one activist judge to shut the lawsuit down and set legal precedent. And those activist judges are very touchy about anything that upsets the progressive stack.
You are mostly correct, except that legal precedent can only be set at the Appellate level. A Circuit Court of Appeals has to confirm a lower Judge's decision before that judgement becomes precedential, although when that judgement comes before the Circuit Court of Appeals, all existing judgements in similar cases can be brought in as support or to denounce the case that is being heard. EDIT: And _then,_ the case can be brought before a trium of Appellate judges to confirm _that_ Appellate judge's decision, and then, a vote can be asked of _all_ judges at the Appellate level on that Circuit. Check the 9th Federal Circuit for some really shady stuff that happened last year in its Circuit Court of Appeals.
Let IBM and RedHat keep pushing this. They are the dumbest kind of criminal that keeps incriminating himself while already on trial. They remind me of the guy who was accused of car theft and he showed up in court in a car he just stole. 😀
Nah, those aren't racist hiring practices. It's just that they hire people based on race instead of skill... Gee, we probably need a word to describe those practices 🤔🤔🤔

Them not firing them is a tactical move probably coming from the lawyers. If they fire them it's a signal of guilt, and I guarantee the lawyers bringing the lawsuits would use that to argue "if you did nothing wrong, then why did you fire all of these people directly responsible and the architects of these presentations and policies?" Same thing with the policies and practices remaining in place. Changing and firing everybody, will be used to argue the guilt of these companies. They are backed into a corner now. If they do change and fire them, it will be seen as guilt, and if they don't it gives the opposition ammo to strengthen their cases. Cause it's obviously against the law in every state, and federally.
why would they care if they get found out? they never get punished worst case scenario, the company gets fined, the execs give themselves a bonus, and they increase prices for customers
