It has been proven time and time again that women, immigrants and disabled are less likely to be hired even when they have the same level of qualification. So the real people having a “bonus” are white males. If we can’t break this bias the easy way, the hard way with quotas it is then.
All are bad it nothing else because you cannot be sure that for that specific job there are enough qualified candidates
Have you taken a look at those quotas? They are always worded “When candidates have the same qualifications, X will be given preference in hiring”.
Nobody is given a job just for who they are.
Eliminating disadvantages means that everyone has the opportunity to try
A common misconception. Take the article I linked previously: Everyone can apply for a rental apartment. However people with foreign sounding names are not given equal chance of receiving said rental. It’s in fact the whole premise of the Civil Rights Movement in the US: Yes, slavary and even segregation was abolished but people still were and are discriminated against on the basis of who they are.
An immigrant has disadvantages ? Maybe, but to eliminate them you need to work on the causes and this need years
“You have problems now? Too bad, maybe in a couple years we can help.” Do I really have to comment on this?
you only closed your eyes on the causes, simply ignoring them without resolving them
Coupled with the last paragraph: Have you considered doing both? Helping people in the here and now and also working on long term solutions? Kind of like when breaking a bone a doctor gives you painkillers for the immediate relief and a cast to support the long term healing process?
And stupidity cannot be solved by law.
No, but you can prevent a good chunk of stupid people from doing stupid stuff by outlawing the stupid stuff.
