I&#x27;m not advocating to actively hire one demographic. I will always advocate the best individual for the job. In some cases, whether it&#x27;s sales or even Hooters, where obviously &quot;gifted&quot; females are sought after, it might be directed at one demographic. Odds are if you are a U.S. company and want to expand sales into China, you would most likely have a predominately Chinese sales team doing it. That&#x27;s just how it works, they are best fit for the job.<p>The view of looking at a company and saying &quot;it&#x27;s not diverse enough&quot; I believe is wrong. If all the people at said company were hired based on merit and best suited for the job, and it ends up being largely one demographic, do you think by using an Affirmative Action style hiring spree will make it better? That is what I&#x27;m saying should not be done. The fact that companies will see they are 20% women, and then when given the choice to hire for a position out of 5 candidates, they are told, get the 1 female in that group. Despite a male in the group is better suited for the position. All in the name of &quot;diversity&quot;. That is wrong and something we need to get rid of. The same is true in a vise versa scenario as well. Fashion is an interesting world that comes to mind. Many female clothing lines are actually behind a male name and designed by males. Many male clothing lines are designed by females.<p>Sure it&#x27;s easy to show a company, or the Navy, that has mostly hired males in the past which now hires more females, improve performance. That is re-balancing previous discrimination. Going forward though, they should not try to right their past wrongs by compensating on the other end, they should simply hire the best candidate for the position.<p>I&#x27;m not sure if my point is getting across. I&#x27;m not necessarily against what you re saying. If i have a start-up and I need to hire 10 people. I&#x27;m not going to say I&#x27;l hire 5 males, 5 females, 3 will be white, 3 will be Asian, 2 will be Hispanic, and the others international. NO. I will hire who I find that&#x27;s best for the position. At the end of the day, if I end up with 9 males and 1 female, and out of the males 7 of them are white, this should not be looked down upon. When I go to hire the 11th employee, the demographics of the previous 10 employees should not matter. Today it seems like people will say, because we have 7 white males, we can&#x27;t hire an additional white male. That is so F&#x27;ed up and needs to stop. It&#x27;s wrong on so many levels. The best candidates in all positions will make the company preform best overall, period.
