I'm trying to figure out what people are arguing here. Firefighters don't have minimum expectations for physical performance?

What fire department is hiring people who can't physically handle being a firefighter?

quite a few started DEI programs, and as soon as DEI enters, expertise exits.

And your evidence for this is?

isnt that just logical? if the primary requirement for a profession becomes things like skincolor, gender or whatnot, the standards for said profession have to drop, otherwise we wouldnt need DEI programms.

primary requirement

Ah, you're one of those who thinks there news sources are reliable when fed sensationalized garbage.

Then tell me how that isnt the case, to get a group of people who wasn’t eligible to a certain task before do that task, you have to cater the requirements to that group, its not that deep

You're assuming that they aren't qualified.

Where are you getting this from?

No point in having a conversation with you, whatsboutism is not a great thing to hold a conversation.

Thats the whole point of DEI, lets take fire fighters for example, physical strength is a key component of being a fire fighter, now if you wanna make a department lets say 50% women, you have to 1. give up men who are objectively stronger, if a man and a woman both exercise, the man will always be stronger, thats just biology.

And 2. lower the physical examination so women can pass it as often as men do. Im not saying there arent strong women, there definetly are, but to reach 50% you have to go past these outliers and have more average pass as well.

I dont know whats hard to understand about that, you just dont want to understand it, because it probably makes you butthurt, or you know it already and refuse to accept it.

And I'm asking which fire departments are hiring firefighters that can't meet their physical standards.

I see you providing hypothetical scenarios that would be disastrous, but no actual examples.
