Diversity and Inclusion Interview Questions and Answers

--

Multicultural and diverse working environments are not just about accepting cultural issues. They are about being open to accepting people's differences and having no prejudice about working with them. Not many know that almost 50% of people of color have quit their jobs due to being discriminated against. Then there is also the fact that companies that have diverse leadership also have a 36% higher financial benefit.

Due to all this, more employers are including diversity and inclusion interview questions in search of candidates that will reflect that difference.

"We need to hear diverse perspectives.... unless you disagree with us"

[zulucharlie]

"How to say you'll discriminate on the basis of race and gender (the "right" kind of racial/gender discrimination, of course, not the wrong kind) while not actually saying that you'll discriminate on the basis of race/gender - which is illegal, and therefore, cannot ever be admitted or discussed honestly".

So get rid of racism and sexism by being racist and sexist. Got it

[bradspringer]

There certainly is diversity of thought going on in these comments.

[SuperStratosfear]

"Do you support our company's political dogma or do you not want this job?" Doesn't sound very inclusive to me

When I hear a person talk about inclusion, I am 100% certain they do not believe in inclusion of thought. God forbid you think differently from them!

[andyiswonderful]

You say that companies with diverse leadership have 36% higher financial benefit. That has got to be the biggest load of BS I have ever heard.

[bobbobbington]

I've been seeing the diversity and inclusion in Liberal cities, and it looks awfully violent.

I like how DEI assumes all problems are from lack of "understanding" a person's background. Should I encounter DEI lovers, and reject hiring them, my response will be "You have not shown understanding of the company and how it has been mistreated in the past."

[WardDorrity]

DEI = Didn't Earn It. I would totaly fail such an interview, but I would enjoy doing so.
Hire the best and brightest. That's real affirmative action.

[Keyboardwarrior]

Say the pledge. Don't think about it. Just Say it.

Hiring based off DEI is racist and discriminatory

[Angry_Gnome]

When did Topher Grace start doing DEI education videos?

[csatoh]

Those people asking such questions are more concerned about DEI than the productivity and skills of workers. No wonder nothing gets done.

[A_friend_of_Aristotle]

The 36% number is a statistic that is used here in a dubious manner.

I would argue that diversity follows higher financial benefits and not the other way around. And I'm not speaking of it in any altruistic sense; as a company grows it does so only on the merit of it's employees and owners. As it expands it employs more people, who may or may not be more "diverse" racially or physically. One way in which companies that succeed do NOT become more diverse is in the culture necessary for success.

To succeed, a culture of merit must be shared and promoted. Physical and emotional parasites cannot survive in such a culture and are often not even get a chance. Which is how it should be.

Hi, great video in general but I didn't see any reference to ageism which is an increasingly recognised are of exclusion.

[jarodwilliams]

This dude has to be gay. I am gay and my gar dar is going off. No strait man would even think about this topic. Hold your head up high, your just as good as anyone else.

[satt]

Good video for a couple of reasons. If you see any of these questions run. This is not going to be a place where anyone is happy. Or if you think DEI is BS but you want to disrupt this BS from the inside this tells you how to get past these DEI gatekeepers. So good luck at that interview.

My 19 year old daughter applied to Target online....their application process includes this "personality test" as well as asking one's race and gender. Well, for some reason they e-mailed her back rejecting her declaring she wasn't "a good fit at this time".
Well, for kicks, I told her to change her race from white to black and change nothing else. Well, lo and behold, almost immediately Target reached out and told her she was "a perfect fit"
Take from this what you will.

[donnalittle]

Diversity and inclusion when you mean more than one race not just cut out white race which is what this is about.
