@ManarSalehFarsi @FarizaShiyap @snmarafi Sometimes it is difficult for people to realize they are unconsciously prejudiced as no one wants to be unconsciously prejudiced. This means they will find some reasoning to show that their prejudiced actions were not prejudiced. #bse18

@dvijaysi The more you protect them the more they will look like incapable people who are just there for charity. The whole point of a quota is to find the best fitting person for the job, not for charity. People hired should be able to prove that they are as good. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@dvijaysi I feel like this “support system” is kind of like parenting the minorities. It is too much protection. In order to end the discrimination you need to open a door to the minorities but let them secure their place in the company. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@FarizaShiyap @ManarSalehFarsi @snmarafi Adding to that. This comparison only works if the prejudice is the same. For example a conscious sexist is worse than an unconscious heightist. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@FarizaShiyap @ManarSalehFarsi @snmarafi I think unconscious prejudice is much worse than conscious. A guy that is sexist and he owns it is better than a sexist guy that says he isn’t yet his actions show otherwise. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@Yeoniedesu @snmarafi I agree with you. A boss always has more valuable experience that keeps on improving. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@Tameem_alasfar Noone knowingly is prejudice to shorter people. It is all subconscious. Those who ar prejudice against short people would agree with your tweet. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@ManarSalehFarsi @FarizaShiyap @snmarafi Adding to what you said, the Qatari population is often underestimated so they’re not given the jobs they want. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@MaryamAAT @Nouveii @snmarafi From what we said in class, there isn’t a high demand for business majors. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@dvijaysi Can you give me an example of such a support system? I’m not sure I fully understand what you are saying. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@Tameem_alasfar If sacrifices were made, then the hiring committee did not do a good job finding a good candidate. You said it yourself, women are educated well here. Also, the quotas are not that demanding, 30% means out of 10 people you hire at least 3 must be women. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@Pyr024 @ManarSalehFarsi With quotas. If you get the best out of every group you will end up with a more accurate selection of the best people for a position. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@snmarafi Because everyone wants a management job, and so with everyone wanting the same job not everyone will get it. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@elsaka_o @FarizaShiyap I feel like sexism can also be subconscious. A lot of men would not go on and say men are generally better than women, but they would say that man is better than that woman and this would happen to every man and woman they compare. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@dvijaysi @abdullat_7 I feel like it’s more of exploitation than coercion because they are not limiting their options, they are profiting from the racism. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@elsaka_o If an employer chose the taller candidate between two equally qualified applicants, they will not say I chose that one because they are taller, they will give you a good reason for their decision. That is because their prejudice is subconscious. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@elsaka_o In the reading Rachels showed how making people aware of their prejudice is ineffective. They would just get offended, and they still won’t change a thing. He also showed that people are really good at rationalizing their prejudice. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@MikaNotFatima I disagree, I believe that quotas would allow employers to find the best women for the job. Then the best women would be able to establish themselves as worthy of the job. Quotas are not to solve sexism, just unconscious sexism. #bse18

[Buthayna @buthayna01]

@SaraYJAlJassim @Faialsulaiti @linataha7 No, because there is no such thing as decreasing the opportunity for men to get a job, just leveling it out. #bse18
