What I never understood was DanH’s claim that hiring ethnic minorities over white people even if they weren’t better for the job brought something extra professionally into an accountancy firm?

Call it what it is and as he’s explained it - positive discrimination. If he’s not an equal opportunities employer he’s allowed to do that, I think.

Always weird how you lot read what you want to read rather than what is actually written.

I said I did not think a team made up of entirely white male clones was healthy or would be successful in our industry and markets; same as a team made up entirely of Asian female clones wouldn't be.

A team reflective of modern society, our clients and the markets we operate in is. And has continued to be throughout 2020 despite everything going on.

Yep I'm the brainwashed one when basically every opinion you have or 'stat' you quote can be traced back to some alt-right non-entity who has had to put a lock on the door to stop his mum coming in to pick up his w*nk sock for washing while he's filming for his YouTube channel.

Its not often a post on here actually has me in stitches...well played.

There's some good points in your reply but I think your mockery shows the reality of the two Americas that now exist....you're right that it would be have been no better on the other foot.....but then again, I'm not the person thinking Democratic 'policy' will draw people away from republicans.....I think you will get the opposite reaction....Anyone with sense knows that if Biden keeps his promises he is going to raise taxes on the middle class....there is no 'healing', the Democrats have no legitimacy in even asking for that after how they have behaved these last four years...they will reap what they sowed.

Modern Democratic policy is economic ruin, especially the 'woke' lot....which is most of the party. I will say that Trump was also spending like mad but the difference was he was creating jobs and increasing GDP to keep pace.

Trump was a businessman first and foremost, he didn't let idealism get in the way of that....unfortunately the Democrats are all about idealism before pragmatism.

The Democrats are going to increase spending even more but unlike Trump we are not going to see the same levels of economic upturns.....the berk is even talking about lockdowns.

All based on ideology not meritocracy.....the idea that you employ upon racial mix instead of the best person at the job is nuts.

The left and race are the most identitarian out there....race, race, race. Even the alt right don't go as far.

As for its effectiveness? I doubt your company even is an accurate reflection anyway because it's not an easy task. It's all claptrap, remember all those terribly performing companies of the past because I don't......oh how badly all those non diverse Korean and Chinese companies are doing.

Employ the best person for the job and forget their race......I thought that was actually employment law, but hey, maybe's it's changed.
