    "Is so-and-so the best person for the job or is so-and-so a quota?"

    Why do you adhere to "What if [underrepresented minority] isn't the best for the job?"

    Why not "How can we solve the problem of [underrepresented minority]'s lack of represenation?"

    If you agree that underrepresentation of minorities is a problem, but you're against any possible remedy, then your words and your actions are not in sync.

    Are you really just doing whatever you can to maintain the status quo because it benefits you?

    The quotation lines are what many people think. The culture of diversity quotas leads to a lot of people thinking things like those couple lines.

    Why are you being so cagey?

    I'm not talking to "a lot of people." I'm talking to wufwugy.

    It was wufwugy who said quotas are racist. It is wufwugy who agrees that tyranny of the majority is a danger for democracies.
    I'm asking wufwugy what is a viable remedy to the danger that is not "racist."

    The most effective method I know of that has been historically used to reduce the problem of democracy's tyranny of the majority is to prohibit government intervention into given domains.

    I don't think if a demographic that makes up 60% of the population makes up 99% of hires that you'll end up with the most qualified people. Having zero diversity in your organization doesn't mean you don't have a quota, and it certainly doesn't mean that that quota doesn't have a skin color.

    I don't look at Trump's cabinet and think: oh boy oh boy these people sure are quuuuuuuuuuualified! No, I think this is the result of inbreeding oligarchs lifting their dumbass children into positions that they have no business being in... and I'm not just talking about Trump's children. This is true for nearly all of them.

    And the worst of it is that if we don't let them take from us in order to fund this, they'll come to our place of dwelling to shackle us and lock us in a cage. If we resist that, they'll spit lead through our chests.

    All those news stories about the IRS raids and mass incarcerations over tax fraud are really something, eh?

    Oh wait.

    I've seen none of those.


    What are you actually talking about?
    I mean... beside the whole "taxation = theft" thing that I could find 100's of posts worth of discussion on in this forum.
    Even if we humor the position that taxation is theft, wasn't your solution to make gov't's into businesses which have not even the faintest whiff of being accountable to their constituents?
