@dr8ay @dhof @JackHemsley4 The logic is *not* to hire them *solely* because they’re POC, but if given the choice between 2 equally qualified applicants, one white and one POC, the white person shouldn’t inherently be given preference.

@dr8ay @dhof @JackHemsley4 We’re in agreement, however being black and being qualified aren’t mutually exclusive in this logic. The point is to not discriminate against POC applicants *simply because* they’re POC.

@FailedEvill @suzannaguayo @JackHemsley4 @dhof To the point where they are overlooked or undervalued constantly, precisely for the same reason you’re saying shouldn’t be a factor. Color-blindness as an answer to racism is seriously misguided and ignores the root of the issue.
