Reminder that "merit" is a synonym for "supremacy"

Please stop that nonsense

Just because they abuse the crap out of a valid point doesn't mean the point is bad

If you go to a doctor, you do that merit based. When hiring a nuclear inspector (or a garbage collector, for that matter) you shouldn't care about skin color, sexual orientation, gender expression, religious beliefs, height, age, etc... the only thing that should matter is merit. Is the person capable of performing these duties? Yes? You're hired.

Skipping that for whatever reason is a really bad idea.

So yeah, these asshats are abusing the point just to discriminate, that doesn't make the point itself bad

That's all fine and dandy if the system treats everyone fairly from birth and we know that is just not the case.
