UBC bans non-minority candidates from applying for tenure-track quantum position

Codified racism, plain and simple.

> In accordance with UBC’s CRC Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion Action Plan, and pursuant to Section 42 of the BC Human Rights code, the selection will be restricted to members of the following designated groups: persons with disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, women and gender minorities (transgender, gender-fluid, nonbinary and Two-Spirit people), and racialized minorities. Applicants to CRC positions are asked to complete this equity survey as part of the application, and candidates from these groups must self-identify as belonging to one or more of the designated equity groups to be considered for the position. Because the search is limited to those self-identifying as members of designated equity groups, candidates must also provide their name to be considered.

Oh my god this is nuts

How is this not discrimination of protected classes, and therefore illegal?

Much like the old kind of racism needed also some whites to stand up and say "we do not want to benefit from this poisonous system, it is repulsive and we reject it", this new kind of racism will only end when at least some people who are intended to benefit from it start organizing and saying aloud "not in my name, I do not want to be treated like this".

Individuals do that already (like Sowell or Ayaan Hirsi Ali), but their total numbers haven't yet crossed a critical threshold, so they can be ignored. So far.

Majorly editorialized title for a link to the position posting. IIUC that's not OK by the site guidelines.
