    What I really think America needs is an unqualified heroin addict that is a self proclaimed arm chair scientist.

      Well would you rather have a DEI hire black doctor who has a GPA slightly less than a non-DEI white doctor? /s

        The answer to this of you hear someone say this earnestly is: Why would they have a slightly lower GPA? If anything usually when equally qualified candidates go head to head the white person still has a statistical advantage, even with organizations that have DEI in their mission. This would imply people in disadvantaged groups usually have to be more qualified to get hired.
