They wouid be disgusted by u trying to dictate how an entertainment company runs their business. 

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to run their business.   If the WNBA wants men playing in their league, they should have the intellectual honesty to get rid of the W in the league name.   It could be called EWNBA for everyone's welcome NBA.   That would be at least consistent.

Difference Between Quotas and Targets

Racial quotas require a fixed number or percentage of minority candidates to be hired or promoted. These are generally illegal under U.S. employment law, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. [1, 2, 3]

Aspirational targets are general, numeric goals used by some companies to track overall workforce representation over time. These goals are meant to measure outreach, not mandate specific hiring decisions based on race. [1, 2]

Common DEI Practices

Instead of quotas, standard DEI frameworks focus on systemic changes to the workplace: []

Broadening recruitment channels to reach diverse communities.

Auditing demographic and promotion data to find internal barriers.

Providing bias and sensitivity training for managers.

Establishing clear rules against harassment and discrimination. [1, 3]

Name calling is not an effective argumentation technique, but you know this.   So I wonder why you continue to abuse it.

If you can be fired for not hitting your target it’s a quota.

Ive experienced dei much more than u and even asked candidates about it on job interviews. If u provided that stupid answer during an interview you'd be DQd from the job right then and there. And we would all laugh about it later.

The Airline Industry Compliance Crackdown (2024)

A major example of regulatory intervention against DEI quotas involved American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. 

The Violation: The airlines established public DEI benchmarks—such as United’s highly publicized 2021 target ensuring that "at least 50 percent of new pilot trainees will be women or people of color".

I'm not whining.   I don't care about the WNBA except for their undisciplined approach to their game and who can play it.   Right now they only have real women.   Why?   Because they are the WNBA.   But they support Men participating in womens sports.   Well, then it is not womens sports anymore.  So have the backbone to call your league what you believe in.   Bring in men to play in the league, prove your bona fides instead of preaching what you don't believe in.  It is about hypocrisy.

All big companies.  That’s how they play the game.  You get a “target” for diversity and if you don’t hit it you won’t be around long

It’s very legal. It’s why it’s called a target and not a quota.

Medical schools evaluated academic metrics differently based on an applicant's racial group. Official Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) data demonstrated that candidates with lower test scores were admitted at vastly higher rates if they belonged to underrepresented demographics.  They literally used acceptance quotas for minorities in their admissions process.

The Acceptance Gaps: In average performance bands (such as a 3.40 to 3.59 GPA and a mid-range MCAT), Black applicants maintained an 86.9% acceptance rate and Hispanic applicants had a 75.9% acceptance rate.

The Non-Minority Thresholds: White and Asian applicants with those identical academic credentials faced acceptance rates of only 48.0% and 40.3% respectively. 

Lower Tier Admission: Black applicants with well-below-average MCAT scores and GPAs were over seven times more likely to be accepted than white applicants with the exact same scores.

You did a fine job of reading what Posner said, now if you do as well reading what I said, you’ll understand why I’m so surprised to see you pulled into this. 

Here’s your post.  You’re clearly trying to imply the article stated that, but in fact it’s just your terribly biased opinion.  With how long the article was, you’d think they would have said that if they actually believed it.

I read an article yesterday by a fellow who’s pretty well informed on genocide.  He gave the ICC’s definition and showed how, based on international investigations of Gaza, that it’s Hamas, not israel, that has committed genocide.
