I have no problem with the actual hire (though IMO Blizzard is cartoonishly out of touch if they need a dedicated diversity person, though I guess they’re very out of touch when they lived in the Cosby Suite for 20 years and only just now recently stopped molesting people in the office). What I take umbrage with is the pony show of making it a big deal, like it’s some great achievement and not just a company bringing in new talent that they need to fill a position. It’s performative and reeks of desperation to wash themselves of the stigma of being viewed as a bunch of sex criminals.
Sadly, our educational system has been infiltrated with monsters. They are literally training the youth to hate our nation, turning them into snakes within.

Can you imagine the responses from everyone on here saying she wasn’t hired because she is a black woman if she was a experienced white ex frat boy hired to do the same job?

Forcing on character’s identity instead of character development.

I have a simple answer. Because people of color and minority groups were passed over for decades for cisgender white men, the only way to diversify the workforce is to push the other way. Once equality is met, we can try to focus on the right person.

Thumbs up.
Can you please explain when exactly “equality is met”? Who determines this? Is this quantifiable? Forcing diversification in the workforce should not be the solution. This should be a genuine process which starts with putting the right mindset in those who make decisions. Filling the positions with the individual(s) who will best serve the needs of the role, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. Equality is giving everyone an equal opportunity for the position. The irony of this post makes me shake my head. Tell me about creating equality in the workforce without it being about equality.

My thoughts are that no matter what these companies do with their structure and corporate positions, that the top level isn’t really going to change and it is pretty much all done to just make the organization look like it is doing something.
Also I don’t think inclusion is a bad thing but I also don’t think there can be true inclusion without exclusion in the corporate world when it comes to hiring and that’s just how I see it. No matter what, someone is being excluded and it does have to do with their demographic. It goes from one illegal extreme to the other.
A very neutral outlook, but the logical one to me.

As a cisgender white guy who has worked in multiple industries over the course of a few decades, yes. Only a concerted, sustained push for changes in hiring, development and retention efforts that are based on merit and a values-based culture rather than networks (Which we still monopolize) can make the gains needed IMO, especially for ABK.
