"I love hiring people who have no idea about this job..." Simon Sinek What a feel good statement...as long as you don't have to make a profit.

It is racist to think that the all white board room has 1 perspective. People of different ethnicities are more similar than different. I'd really hate if someone said all Indians think the same. No, there can be a conservative Indian, a liberal Indian, a rich Indian, a poor Indian, a lazy Indian. We don't need anyone from sub-saharan africa to tell us what to think. We can think what anyone can think

When you have to force diversity than you know it's wrong, You cannot force someone to like or love someone else... STOP IT,

The biggest issue with diversity is that the word was introduced… and not explained. Thank you for framing the word and providing a sensible, real life definition – and I will be forwarding this to some folks I know. Again, thank you.

I always hade my issue with this glorified diversity of getting as many different nationalities and cultures together as you possibly can. My company prides itself with being "so diverse" and celebrating itself for having around 128 nations under one roof and so on and so forth. My experience with "diversity brings new ideas and perspectives" is that said diversity of cultures and nationalities brings tension, misunderstandings, distrust, anger and frustration into the workplace way more often then it brings all the glorious things that it is praised for.

Diversity hiring and inclusion used to be something tactical and strategic. Something to do to get an edge on your competition. When that devolved into what one might call, political nepotism, that's when the terms lost all meaning. Also, when people grew so entitled to everything that nothing should ever exclude anyone, problems happened. Some things, some products aren't for some people, but... no, we have to make that equal(ly bland) too.

Most companies, especially tech, don’t promote diverse thinking or perspectives. They encourage diverse skin colors and gender and want woke people with homogeneous thinking and perspectives. Our skin color doesn’t clue us into people's perspectives or thinking. There are outliers out there that think much differently than the perspectives you place on them due to their appearance—Black Trump supporters, Gay conservatives, Anti-abortion Females, etc. To exclude these types of people is wrong and shows a lack of empathy in our society. We need to take a drastic turn away from immutable characteristics when we talk about diversity, or our culture will go down a very dark path.

How do I get hired by you Simon. I would love to take up the challenge of being hired to do what I don't know how to do
@BaldOldGermanDude
2:45: This is probably the first and only perception i heard in years of diversity that actually made sense. Unfortunately in many cases diversity management is only inverse discrimination - for example hiring a less capable person for a position instead of a more capable one BECAUSE of some quota for sex/age/ethnicity or people with special needs. Of course a persons value to a team is to some extent determined if he has complementary skills, views and experiences to the people present. But as soon as you make this dependent from their sex/age/ethnicity you are doing identity politics. You are no longer seeing the person - only their quota attribute. You are discriminating while trying to fight discrimination.

We just need to repect each others perspectives without shoving it down peoples throats
@cindyfinlayson4197
Imagine getting a job to fulfil a certain quota. I got my job because I’m black.🥳
@MetalheadMatt36
I don't think any sensible person can be against anything argued in this video. Where we get into sticky territory is when we talk about discriminating against people based on skin color, sex, religion, etc. for the sole reason of acquiring "different perspectives," such as by giving the position to someone who is less qualified or implementing a hiring quota.

Thank you!!! I'm hungry for more please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my perspective is that George Floyd was a criminal that shouldn't have resisted arrest. And, that Derek Chavin was tried and convicted because he was Caucasian.
