The city recently hired for an equity and diversity position. But when we say we need to ensure hiring practices reflect the community's population diversity, what does that mean? Is our city turning down minority candidates who are qualified with education and experience for certain positions? I am an immigrant from India and I personally want the most qualified person for the job regardless of their color, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. If there is any proof that minorities aren't being hired for positions in spite of having proper education and qualifications then yes we need to change that.
