And do you think the cops would remove me from your house before giving me a trial?
Why don't I get to stay? I demand to stay at your house until this is sorted out.

Businesses aren't people.
Where did I claim that?
No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That's why we have a government.
Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn't correct itself as fast as it could.
Yeah, no, that is exactly what was claimed.
The assumption of rational actors is standard practice in economics, basically every single theorem depends on that. When I pointed out that racism isn't rational, the argument changed to "well, you can't assume that everyone is rational".
Yes. I know. I have a fucking degree in this field. Believe it or not, people have figured out how to deal with that problem a long time ago. Look up the Efficient Market Paradox, and you'll see why rationality is still a sensible assumption to make.
Nobody chooses to be white either.
What was the evidence that convinced you?
If rationality is overrated and DEI is rational, isn’t this an argument to discard it? Conversely, if it isn’t, isn’t this an argument that DEI is irrational?
I’m sorry, but what part of what I said was antisemitic?
Mar A Lago seems like a nice place to get deported to. Thank you for your kindness, I’ll take it.
It's because the point of society isn't to root for bad businesses failing. It's to ensure the just treatment of all people.
Isn't it justice for bad businesses to fail?
If DEI made companies more money it wouldn't have to be legislated, would it. Anyone with a smidge of business sense would absolutely crush it by hiring all the people that racists routinely overlook.
If racist businesses will fail on their own because racism is not sustainable, why does there need to be a law against it? Let them fail of their own accord. It might take a while, but if you're right, they most certainly will.
Because it's diversity for diversity's sake. It encourages people to maximize on their unchangeable attributes like skin color or sexual orientation instead of any actual skills.
