Mediocre white people

 "When they finish taking away all the DEI and Affirmative Action protocols, mediocre White people still won't be able to get jobs because, in reality, our Affirmative Action protocols are so weak that they barely affect hiring practices. The main difference will be that mediocre White people will have only themselves to blame."

I found this in my Facebook feed today. I constantly see this kind of thinking, usually by someone who is a White person as well, as is the case here. The DEI and Affirmative Action is ineffectual: but we still need it! Taking it away won't make a difference, because those White people are not getting jobs now, and they still won't be getting jobs without it? Presumably, then, only minorities are getting jobs now?

Of course, statistically, mediocre (and inferior) people will always outnumber the excellent. I'm taking mediocre to be in the 40-60 percentile of whatever measure we are taking. So the inferior and mediocre will outweigh the good to excellent folks by 6 to 4.

Look, I'm in favor of Affirmative Action, but if it does not good, then it cannot also be indispensable.
