Missouri sues Starbucks over its diversity programs

[j brown's body]

Bu ... bu ... bu ... but Trump!

Code for "whites have superior genes."

Interesting. What if the reason for the difference is that the indians just don't want to do that job? THey want to... so something else that is "cooler" in their eyes.


1.Why is that a problem?

Untapped talent pool.

2. How will the employer INCREASE applicants from the indians?

Indians? Are you visiting us from 1870?

To answer your question employers do it with targeted recruiting.

I've done it in Canada where we had underrepresented groups.

In a predominantly French area of NB we ran ads in French newspapers.

In areas of high Indigenous populations (Winnipeg, northern Manitoba and Ontario, Labrador) we reached out to community groups and churches.

In an area that was majority Asian we advertised in Chinese newspapers.

So let's see if I understand this correctly. The Attorney General's position is that women can't serve coffee as fast as men?

No, you do not understand this correctly. The point seems to be that women cannot serve coffee faster than men.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey alleged that Starbucks... violated anti-discrimination laws....

Such a weird argument -- a company with a policy against discrimination is sued for discrimination?

Any bets on whether this lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss?

So, the members of that group, didn't WANT to work there?

That seems to be a product of their freedom and choice.

So.... why is that not being respected? Why is it a problem?

As I posted, the reputation of the firm might not have been justified. That’s why affirmative action, explained in another post, might help out.

Untapped talent pool.

Is that really a thing? I mean, the workers you have now, hypothetically, were good enough to get hired adn have been doing the job. The idea that there might be someone MORE qualified in the indian population is not really something that I really can see people worried about.

Indians? Are you visiting us from 1870?

YOu don't control the language, certainly not my use of it. I was wiling to discuss your hypothetical, your desire to control my words and thus my thoughts are denied.

So, whites are not given the information on the job openings, the same as teh indians, because they are white....

interesting. That kind of sucks for the whites in the area that might want, or NEED that job(s).

YOu ever been in a bad place and then heard about a better job that you could have gotten, AFTER it was too late?

I have. Let me tell you, it SUCKS.

What if it doesn't? What then?

I said nothing about more qualified.

You're intentionally using racist language.

Kind of kills your credibility.

False.

So it goes.

Sounds like a threat, in hopes Starbucks caves to the Christian Taliban Republicans running Missouri, before this ever sees the inside of a courtroom.

Well, Starbucks likely has the money to take this on, but there are financial considerations since this is really about whether the company allows the government to mandate its business policies in these kind of programs. It could very well cave here, and then we can assume other red states will follow. I think the more interesting part of the suit is how they target mentoring programs for minorities as well. This is all an effort to promote the laughable idea that everyone in this country is on the same footing.

I said nothing about more qualified.

That is the only way that what you said made sense. IF you are looking for workers that are EQUALLY or LESS qualified, then there is no gain to be had from the investment of time and energy and resources in looking for indian candidates.

So, then you have NO reason for all of this effort at "diversity".

You're intentionally using racist language.

And now the leftard starts insulting me, to cover his inability to make a reasoned argument in support of the policy he supports.

The policy he claims in not anti-white discriminiation. And so far, he stated reason makes no sense.

Kind of kills your credibility.

Here teh leftard tries to marginalize or "cancel" his enemy, becasue the only way he can defend his policy of "dei" is by shutting down those that ask questions about it.

Because, a few minutes of honest thought on the policy, reveals that it is nothing but anti-white discrimination.

False.

If you target indian media, but not general or white media, then the information is not evenly or fairly distributed.

Poor white people that might benefit massively from teh jobs you have to offer, are less likely to be informed on the openings.

That is the clear result of the actions you describe.

 

[Corbell]

So it goes.

Ah, but no, that is not what would happen. The HR department would keep going. Hell, the government might sue. That is not a valid answer and you know it.


They would just get more aggressive in pursuing their goals.
