I find you choice to use “victim blaming” in this context very telling.
If you read the whole article, you read about hiring offices openly discriminating in an illegal way, and you read that it was so severe, people knew not to even apply to positions because the discrimination is so bad. If you’ve been in college or the job market in the last 10 years, I’m sure you also know this isn’t just made up or an isolated case.
So who, in this context, is the “victim”? Who is “blaming” them? Obviously the victims are the people facing real and very extreme hiring discrimination. He’s not blaming the minorities who got hired instead, but I think that’s what you’re assuming here.
You seem to believe that “victim” means minority by definition.
You can always tell someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about. First, there was no illegal discrimination. In fact, according to existing policies the Federal Government and all government contractors cannot create quotas or have any preference in hiring. It is straight up illegal.
Now we can talk about the private sector. They can hire whoever they fucking want. Chick-fil-A won’t hire or allow openly gay managers/administrators/owners. Likewise some women’s only shelter, who are also private but nonprofit, won’t hire male workers for certain roles. This is completely legal.
The victim is minorities and women who are being singled out because DEI dictates and certain companies choose to give them a chance. It is their fault for “stealing” a job away from a white male. Do you understand how bombastically stupid this is?
I think you don’t understand the law or DEI just like the author who desperately wants to blame someone else for his inability to prepare his child for the job market.
There are tons of jobs and tons of companies ran by man-o-sphere assholes who only hire white males. The number of companies that openly give preference to white males without explicitly saying so dwarf companies willing to give minorities and women a shot.
If DEI works so well how come women make up less than 30% of upper management but yet comprise of 47% of the work force. Even worse CEO are only 10% women. Where is this avalanche of control DEI has given women and minorities?
It doesn’t exist, In fact DEI barely moved the needle for minorities and is only responsible for a small amount of women placed in roles they were eligible for but looked over. The best criticism is DEI didn’t really work not that our sons can suddenly find no jobs.
As a hiring manager who has hired hundreds of people in the private, nonprofit, and government sector I can confidently say the author is full of shit.
Look, just admit you didnt want to read the whole article. These “waaaaah X% of CEOs” are completely and totally irrelevant to the world of entry level hiring and academics, which is the point. Assuming you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, it’s people like you who got grandfathered in who are the problem.
And besides, what is he supposed to teach his son to do to get hired in fields that openly state they won’t read his resume? I mean, become trans maybe. Thats about the only thing in your power.
Be honest, you’ve done some of this havent you? Your white guy CEO boss might have told you this is legal to hire only black women or foreigners so the numbers balance out, but it’s not lol.
The author cherry picked two professions and used irrelevant statistics combined with a profound misunderstanding of DEI to come to a bullshit conclusion.
Just admit it, you have probably never had a DEI training. I have had over ten and I could teach one at this point. The content’s recommendations are so boring and benign it ain’t funny. You and the author want to create a narrative that doesn’t exist. The facts don’t support it.
You know how many fields men dominate in? You are telling me because press room floors are hiring slightly more women and that in a particular university there just happens to be no tenured male white professor that we are in a crisis!?
What if it is all fucking black college, what if the press room floor is for a all female news agency. There is no discrimination going on. It is all legal.
So what if a few corporations decided to hire a few more minorities and women because of DEI. This is not the source of this man’s problems. I will not be lectured about made up grievances.
I am sorry, but the author must think we are fucking idiots willing to listen to what amounts to be misogyny cloaked in anti-feminism garbage.
Now your bringing up immigrants. It is always someone else’s problem is it not. Acting so fucking dumb.
Absolutely top tier failure to read the article.
I read all the way through it to the end, a sappy father son epic of victim blaming. Garbage.

Anyway, in case you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, you should probably reminded that yes, the stuff you’re doing is actually illegal and they might even decide to start enforcing it. https://www.schmitt.senate.gov/media/press-releases/senator-schmitt-sends-letter-highlighting-abuse-of-h-1b-visa-program-for-dei-hires/
