The arbitrary numbers are that NASA should have "more minorities than 10 years ago". Why 10 years ago? Why more then they had then? Isn't NASA famous for working on DEI for more than 50 years, before it was even called DEI?
If they had or have unfair hiring practices, show me an example. Surely theres someone who was the most qualified but passed over for being a minority.
I'm not against DEI, just not every company is the same. Also I dont see much DEI for jobs where white people are the minority. I got fired from a job in my teens because the supervisor thought I was a lazy white person who " couldn't even do the jobs our women do", and 90% of the workers were from Mexico. Wheres my DEI initiative?
Maybe I love hard labour and it sucks I can't get a job in it because everyone thinks I'll be lazy and demand extra benefits.
