In this episode, The Shameless Berg talks about why it's important to be honest and say what's really going on in the job market, and why a white man like myself would speak up about it, even in the face of danger to his job prospects.
00:00:00.000Hi folks, I am the Shameless Berg. I hope you're doing well today. I had just a few minutes this morning to share my thoughts on the subject of the job market issue.
00:00:10.700Often I'm asked by inferior people why I would put my face out there and just say it like it is.
00:00:17.000Aren't you afraid of your employment prospects, your job prospects, to just come right out there and just say words?
00:00:22.940Um, no, I'm not afraid. And we're going to go over what's really going on here and why a white man like myself would think it was worth it to just come right out and say it like it is, even in spite of danger to my job prospects.
00:00:37.760So here we have, uh, so most liberals don't know what DEI entails. They assume it's race neutral treatment. And obviously that's not, they're very mistaken.
00:00:45.600It's common to discriminate against whites and men as part of DEI programs. Now here's a little snippet from a Yahoo News article.
00:00:53.540Companies avoid hiring white men as part of a diversity push.
00:00:57.860Hundreds of companies are deliberately shunning white men for jobs amid pressure to make workplaces more diverse, a survey has found.
00:01:05.100A poll of 1,216 of American businesses with, uh, diversity, equity, and inclusion policies found that 1 in 10 avoid hiring white men altogether, and 6 in 10 human resource managers put diversity over qualifications when selecting candidates.
00:01:21.240Hey, black people, all that fucking systemic privilege you talk about, all that institutional privilege you talk about, nobody's fucking pushing you out of the way to shoehorn us into positions.
00:01:32.040Nobody. The world bends over backwards for you, not us. We get shafted for you. It's not the other way around.
00:01:40.120There's no systemic advantage where we just get shoehorned in because we're white. No, we get fucked over because we're white to make up for people that can't cut it.
00:01:49.400They can't make the cut on their own, like you. You can't make the cut. You can't perform on your own merits to get to that point.
00:01:57.220The disproportionate outcomes are created by two factors.
00:01:59.780A, you're a smaller, uh, portion of the population, 13%.
00:02:07.240You just aren't as good at things as we are. You're not as smart, and you're not as effective.
00:02:11.580And that's why artificial measures have to be brought into force in order to force you into situations that you usually wouldn't make the cut to be in.
00:02:20.440We don't have these programs helping us.
00:02:21.860We've not had this affirmative action bullshit, this DEI bullshit, this, you know, take from the able and give to the stupid and useless program.
00:02:29.780We haven't had, you know, we haven't had that to benefit us.
00:02:32.160It's all been on our back. It's all been on our dime, and it's all been at the expense of opportunities for us.
00:02:40.100Just to slingshot you a win, you know, that you couldn't have gotten otherwise.
00:02:45.060The study, conducted by website Resume Builder, also found that one in three HR managers believe that quote-unquote reverse discrimination occurs because of DEI policies.
00:02:55.280Look, HR people are some of the most lib shit, obnoxious pieces of shit on this planet.
00:03:00.760And yet, even one in three of them managed to see the obvious? Incredible.
00:03:05.060So three-quarters suspect that these policies were introduced in part for appearances.
00:03:09.700Probably, but it's affecting real lives in ways that go far beyond appearances, you know?
00:03:15.000You're doing it to make yourself look good, but you're ruining lives for it and making your companies shittier, less competent.
00:03:23.240All, you know, all for the sake of black people crocodile tears.
00:03:29.100I work in tech recruiting. Tech recruiting. It's 100% your race, gender, sexuality, and nationality blocking you.
00:03:35.220Our ATS slash HR systems can sort and filter you by pipelines, which users label with demographics.
00:03:42.240Most have diversity features that alert you when you have too much or too little of a certain group.
00:03:47.180We have constant lunch and learns and seminars about how to recruit for diversity in a compliant way, parentheses, how to do it legally without being caught.
00:03:55.480We pay NGOs and staffing agencies to hand us resumes from people who are only of a certain race or gender.
00:04:02.380Our global mobility departments get the foreign resumes and we put them first because they cost less and they check off those DEI boxes.
00:04:10.540We put you on blacklist slash ignore list slash do not hire list if you aren't diverse.
00:04:15.380And if we don't have that feature, we put it in the notes on the candidate file.
00:06:09.160So, you know, he continues with quite a lot.
00:06:12.100I'm not going to read all of it because actually there's just quite a lot listed here.
00:06:15.620Here's a list of the largest offenders, staffing companies, and non-profits that employers pay to recruit and collect DEI slash H-1B candidates for them.
00:07:18.640And that happened like a long time ago, like back in 2012 or something before a lot of this got, you know, as big as it has.
00:07:29.160And I remember just being mindfucked by it.
00:07:31.980Like what, you know, and I told my boss, like, well, hold on.
00:07:35.800And like, you're telling me they're not going to accept this, you know, because they're looking for like a female, this, that, and the other.
00:08:18.340Um, on that literally systemic level, institutional level, hate black people, those words that you're always repeating, like they're magic words.
00:08:26.560You don't understand what the fuck they even mean.
00:08:57.900And you turn around and you act like we have all those things that you have and fuck you for it.
00:09:03.700Um, so here from, um, this is a Reddit.
00:09:06.780This is a subreddit red scare pod from a fickle underscore per me got an interview because they thought I was Indian lost interest when they found out I was white.
00:09:17.860Hey, remember that thing where Elon said that he was going to do a war on the H1B issue, the likes of which we could not possibly comprehend.
00:09:42.720You're a complete dumbass if you have, because when he declared war, okay, on that, and he made it sound like it would be beyond our comprehension.
00:09:50.300So everything that he does and says after that should be seen as some calculated part of that war that he waged, that he promised that he was going to wage.
00:09:59.540And, uh, the H1B issue is essential to him.
00:10:02.920You know, he wants us loaded down with, uh, Indians loaded down.
00:10:07.420And, you know, he wants you to fuck yourself in the face if you don't agree with it.
00:10:10.860Just wanted to back up on that just for a second.
00:10:13.060So, you know, he says the whole H1B Twitter debate has made me want to share my experiences with Indian racism slash nepotism.
00:10:23.000My last name is similar to a common Indian surname.
00:10:26.020I'm Slavic, so, but don't look remotely Indian.
00:10:29.620But my last name is pronounced almost identically to an Indian name, just with an extra syllable at the end.
