Exactly. Clearly you are responding to a troll, but here’s the real reason: Microsoft will receive a ton of applications for every job. Many people will be qualified, so they have to choose based on other factors besides “how smart someone is” (as if an interview or resume could communicate that).
Basically they want to create the best team. Different people from different places have different ideas, no matter how “smart” they are. That means that a global company needs to get a bunch of diverse opinions from diverse people, otherwise you might just miss something important.
The best companies are not the “smartest” but the most flexible and able to respond to new information. Different opinions help you achieve that.
Not everyone you disagree with is a troll… And I never said people shouldn’t be hired because they are of a different race, just don’t hire SPECIFICALLY because they are a certain race. That is stupid. Hire based on skill, not race.
Love how many people here don’t realize the racism in “let’s hire a black guy instead” because diversity. Your color of skin, your gender, your hair color, eye color etc shouldn’t be a decider on who you hire. That’s equality. Having an entire office dedicated to doing just that is plain wrong.

It doesn’t have to be based on smartness, just based on most capable person for the job.
I fucking hate really nuanced shit like this that I can see both sides of.
I always end up feeling dirty no matter which side I end up on.
I want clear black and white issues damn it
