In the wake of criticism that DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies are leading to people, primarily whites, not being hired for jobs they are qualified for, the universities in question are speaking out against hiring people based on merit, calling this a "bad" thing, even though universities exist to provide qualifications through education. At the University of Glasgow in Scotland, the "big brains" issued a statement as part of an "anti-racism" campaign asserting that merit-based hiring is wrong because it insinuates "that race does not play a role in life successes. As for claims that "everyone can succeed if they work hard enough," the University of Glasgow considers this to be a "micro aggression," the implication being that such a statement is offensive to underperforming non-whites who are apparently incapable of working hard enough to succeed, according to the school.

I worked for the feds for 35 years, I did not get a lot of jobs because I was a white straight male, yet the SC said that quotes were illegal.
Hiring based on qualifications certainly IS discriminatory. Which is exactly what its supposed to be. And while it may be micro-offensive, it is certainly not micro-aggression.
