We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Peepin my dude, that is not what he said. He said that you can't select for both. That doesn't strictly mean that a qualified queer black woman doesn't exist, it means that you can't hire for diversity and for merit at the same time.
Yeah, I get that's what he said. We got to that. And then I pressed him on why that's true.
Because if there's a group of queer black women, and one of them is qualified, it's like these folks believe diversity demands that you pick literally everyone else other than the qualified one. This would've been a good example of my question to Momo when I asked him "If demographics don’t matter, then what exactly is wrong with preferring someone of an acceptable race in the best of the best?"
He continued to say it's impossible to choose the qualified people if a company focused on DEI as if the two were mutually exclusive. It's just impossible. Period. Or so he apparently believes.
Why that's true continues to evade the both of us and remains unresolved.
Because they are. If you're prioritizing one metric of judgement, you're inherently putting at least some metrics below it. And unless you're of the stance that there's a big stack of 100% identical in every way other than diversity qualities, those people are all going to have different levels of actually relevant qualifications.
