[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 244102, member: 14640"] Most people who are discriminated can laugh off a racist's comment and move on by being used to it, but when they don't get into the good job or education because of it, that actually affects them financially and socially. Some may commit suicide as a consequence. If one group is overrepresented, that can be reflected in the number of qualified applicants from each group. It's okay to only have male mechanics if only males took the education and applied to the job. If you however had 90% applicants with relevant master degrees or higher from India, but 100% of everyone approved was white with only a highschool education, then something is very wrong. Including people from all groups will probably not be neither fair nor entirely based on merits. But the underprivileged have a shorter resumé due to a dominoe effect, so it is a long term investment in society to break the cycle of privileges, so that future generations won't have to look at anything else than the merits and still have a fair mix of people from different backgrounds. Having one part of society that does not get a chance to contribute is very costly. My own company was all male in the board of directors, because I simply did not know any woman in the industry with previous experience of running a company who could help me. That felt bad, but there was nothing we could do about the dominoe effect once set in motion. Ethical investors are trying to break the cycle by investing in female upstarts, which is a good thing financially when demand for understanding female customers has not been saturated. [/QUOTE]
