    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Fri Jun 6 07:59:41 2025
    When you have questions about leftist stuff, it's worth a try to ask the leftists. Here are the highlights of my discussion with Gemini about DEI:

    Q: How do children suffer when DEI is not part of their daily routine?
    A: When children don't see themselves they can feel invisible, unimportant... (NOTICE DEI "feels" for people.)

    Q: Should children expect there to always be somebody with the same skin color? A: No [BUT] They should see themselves represented in books and by staff....

    Q: Should DEI supercede qualifications in hiring to create a diverse workforce? A: No [But YES.]

    Q: Which "barriers" might prevent hiring of qualified diverse candidates?
    A: Studies show resumes with "ethnic-sounding" names less likely to receive callbacks"

    Q: Who conducted these studies?
    A: Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan
    The researchers sent over 5,000 fictitious resumes to help-wanted ads.
    Resumes with "white-sounding" names received more callbacks.

    Q: The researchers used 5000 ficticious resumes so did they have 5000 phone numbers on-hand for the callbacks?
    A: They don't state the minutiae of obtaining thousands of unique phone numbers.

    Anyone read this? What do you make of it?
