So we've managed to settle that Trudeau saying he is looking for a woman but will still be judging based on merits doesn't mean hes going to hire a native women regardless of merit. Thats good, took longer then expect but were close.
As I have said, in every comment i've made, despite your density, perhaps the most significant issue the RCMP has been dealing with recently is their treatment of crime in Native communities. Aside from the fact their already prone to crime and poverty, Aborignals account for 25% of the murders in Canada. You pull 5% out of your ass, because you don't know what your talking about. See this is what im really trying to point out, you don't know the details so when you try to characterize the issue its hard for me to not correct you, because its so wrong. Im assuming you quoted the 5% because you feel that the relationship between the RCMP and native community represents 5% of their issues and time, and workload in general. This is where you're "we should actually hire a man" argument becomes trash. If men were an extremely isolated and yet extremely overrepresented in terms of criminals and victims then maybe it'd be an apt comparison, but again, your inability to consider nuance and details fails you.
The RCMP has a serious problem with native crime, more specifically violence against women, and it probably represents the biggest issue they deal with today. Suggesting that you'd like to find someone who is both acutely aware of that issue AS WELL AS qualified, isn't racism or sexism its commons sense.
STOP. Don't write anything yet before i remind you of the point.
Would a native woman be able to bring anything unique to the table in terms of solving issues with natives, and native women? My argument is yes they probably have an expertise/experience on the issue that 99% of white men wouldn't have. You don't think thats true though right? If a candidate that is qualified for the job ( and their will obviously be several who are), interviews well, and has a deeper and more personal understanding of the major issue facing your organization gets hired over a candidate who is just qualified and interviews well is that not justifiable? Perhaps what the "sources" should have said was he's looking for someone familiar with the issues of native females, but again, you showing up here to quote 1984 because of this article is an overreaction that happens weekly on this board.
