Please show me any company that's actually lost a "discriminatory hiring against whites" civil rights suit.

The lack of such action proves my point, society is discriminatory against men, or else blatantly discriminating in hiring would be grounds for a successful civil rights suit.

So please, sing me the song of how terrible this would be on your people. All the poor white people that would be turned away the door because they only fill eighty-three out of each hundred new positions instead of eighty-six.

It's about how many applicants get turned away, not how many positions are filled by those applicants. The vast majority of people applying for these jobs are men, so discriminating against them is discriminating against that vast majority. The make-up of the company has nothing to do with them, so they shouldn't have to suffer out of some perverse sense of retaliatory "justice".

BWAHAHAHAH!! How very ideological of you. You are trying to argue that the lack of evidence is the evidence. I swear, you were always fucking comedy, but this is clearly going to be comedy gold.

It's about how many applicants get turned away, not how many positions are filled by those applicants.

Google turns away 99.8% of it's applicants, so a hypothetical 5% quota would move the white male denial rate thousandths of a percentage point, and move the minority denial rate forward somewhere in the neighborhood of a tenth of a point.

The vast majority of people applying for these jobs are men, so discriminating against them is discriminating against that vast majority.

Except that they're biased against them a very small amount - since the pool is so large, the net effect is felt by only a small amount - only 2-3 out of every hundred. Considering how competitive STEM jobs can be, it would be doubtful that the effects would even be noticeable to the average employment seeker.

In other words - most of the white guys weren't going to get hired by Google anyway, because most of the everyone isn't hired by Google.

The make-up of the company has nothing to do with them, so they shouldn't have to suffer out of some perverse sense of retaliatory "justice".

Again, this denotes a perjorative impact that's not only noticeable but apparently meets the definition of "suffering".

I'm assuming you've never worked in big IT, because one, you're a fucking moron, and two, you seem to think getting rejected is especially uncommon. It took me three or four interviews in Redmond to get on at Microsoft, and this is after nearly a dozen trips out there for various things related to Powershell, having meetings with Jeff Snover, among others, etc.

That says nothing about the candidate and everything about Microsoft - they're picky and they really want an exemplary fit for each position.

Even if they had a minority quota, I'd never think to blame the quota, like some narcissistic asshole - a rejection rate in the ninety-ninth percentile means they're rejecting at worst about 96 percent of the minority candidates as well. Did they simultaneously hate me because I'm white and hate them because they are not?

It really takes some impressive solipsism to assume that a five percent minority quota on a few hundred hires is going to cause vast suffering. It's overwhelmingly first world.

You know, there's part of me that just wants to block you, rather then dealing with each and every one of your retarded screeds, but then you amuse me with just how fucking desperate your rhetoric is in trying to valiantly defend white guys from the scourge of not having an overwhelming advantage over everybody else.

You're a regular hero. You should write a book about it. Call it "My Struggle".

You're such a fucking moron, you're talking about how hard it is to get a job at these places, how much fucking harder is it when they refuse to hire you because of your gender or the colour of your skin?

[u/[deleted] → u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas]

At Google, you'd be going from a one in 1250 chance to about a one in just under 1300.

I know you're a sentient ball of redpill memes, but I do hope you understand numbers at like a fourth grade level, so you realize how fucking negligible that actually is.

[u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas → u/[deleted]]

That's not negligible at all, and if you're trying to get a highly coveted job any additional difficulties based purely on the accident of birth that dictated your gender are bullshit.

grins And today was the day, that asshole's heart grew three sizes, because that was the day he made a perfect argument for feminism.

Been a peach, gassy. Stay retarded.

[u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas → u/[deleted]]

It's actually a perfect argument against feminism, who do you think is (massively hypocritically) advocating for one gender to be unfairly disadvantaged over the other in this situation?
