So this is the power of diversity
Are you trying to say NASA hires "too many women, LGBTs and brown people", and that this is holding them back?
Is there something about straight, white cis males that makes them better at rocket science?
I don't believe in racial science and "superiority", however I refer to hiring based on only merit and not just for the sake of fulfilling a diversity quota. The tech industry has suffered enough because of this.
You don't happen to have any numbers to back that up, by chance? Because you're sure saying all the right things to make it sound like you've been wildly mislead about hiring diversity laws, and if we know what specific flavor of kool-aid you've been peddled we might be able to clear up the wild misconceptions / blatant lies
