@setnaffa, I have read Nothing to Envy and it is a great read about every day life in North Korea as told by North Korean defectors. Well worth taking the time to read.
I couldn’t help but think after reading this article when anyone is going to advocate for more diversity in the NBA or more male teachers in elementary schools?:
The morons in management who fantasize that a larger assortment of skin colors will make a more competitive engineering department are only surpassed by the clueless morons in media who cheer them on due to idealistic liberal goals that have no relationship to quality engineering, business success, or reality.
Northern Europe and north Asia are known for engineering while Latin America and Africa are not.
Wishing this was otherwise with propaganda, consultants, or quotas will not make it so.
Fortunately, companies (and nations) that put more effort into this kind of nonsense at the expense of cold reality self-select for failure.
HP and Yahoo, hiring based on genitals and bragging about diversity, are fine examples.
While I basically agree with you, I also work in an Asian company that has hired many shades of suntan. The difference between competence and incompetence is not in the paint job; it’s in the programming of the CPU. Attitude determines whether someone is a great engineer, analyst, whatever–or a professional newspaper reader. And yes, culture can heavily influence that; but it isn’t a foolproof decision point.
Hello again everyone!
I have a question.

GI,

Social experiment?
So wrong.
