DEI Hires

While most corporate America is moving away from mandated DEI hiring to hiring the best most qualified canidate, Gilead has actually increased their already robust over-the-top DEI hiring & promoting. DEI is actually the majority now at Gilead and we LOVE it.

Funny how “DEI” becomes “over-the-top” only when the playing field is no longer tilted in one direction.

For centuries, the majority didn’t build success on merit; they built it on control. They built empires on the unpaid labor of the enslaved, the stolen lands of Indigenous people, the exploitation of immigrants, and the silencing of women who were denied the right to vote, own property, or even open a bank account without a husband’s signature.

Every system: economic, political, academic & even religious was designed to preserve their dominance while squeezing profit and labor from everyone else.

Now that DEI initiatives attempted to make us One America for All, that feels like a threat to you. Not because Equal Opportunity is unfair, but because for the first time your opportunity is no longer exclusive.

Let’s be clear: DEI isn’t “lowering the bar.” It’s removing the gate.

If your success depends on the gate being closed to everyone else then YOU Were Never The Most Qualified. You Were Just The MOST Protected!

I bet your mommy serves you cookies and milk before she tucks you in at night.
 



With all your passion about being the ‘most qualified’ this is your version of a qualified response? Sarcasm?”

It’s always telling when someone responds to truth with deflection instead of discussion. That usually happens when the truth hits too close to the privilege they don’t want to admit exists. When facts strike a nerve, some people default to sarcasm because they struggle to articulate a legitimate counterpoint.

100% These kinds of people are so predictable.
 






DEI hits hard during layoffs ! The competent outstanding staff have to be let go and those who are from DEI background are not fired. Also DEI hires are paid for not from the department budget so it frees up more money to hire people.
Its not fair but life has never been fair to some people at any point in history !

My Dear,
I’m genuinely looking forward to having a qualified discussion with you. As a Highly Qualified thinker, I’m sure you know better than anyone, that we can’t debate emotions, fantasies, or feelings. We can only discuss facts.

Surely you, a person of Such Esteemed Intellect, have actual data to support your claim that DEI hires are immune to layoffs at Gilead & funded by some secret Gilead budget? I’d hate to think a mind like yours would rely on hearsay as evidence.

Take all the time you need to gather your thoughts. I’ll be right here, ready to discuss facts once you’re ready to stand on the same ‘Highly Qualified’ standards you so passionately tout.

WTF just Take a look at Prep HIV org chart you quota box checked hired. Geeze you are a blind idiot.

You, my dear, are the one who’s blind.

Your privilege has shielded you for so long, that you actually believe equality is oppression.

Poor you.
Quick everyone!
We must gather a rescue team; this person’s world is crumbling.

You’ve only gotten a tiny glimpse of what women, Black professionals, and immigrants feel Every. Single. Day. when we look at org charts across Corporate America. We rarely see anyone who looks like us, who’s we can relate too, who shares our cultural experiences, who’s willing to advocate for us or even has the Human Decency to see our potential.

In your own words: WTF! Open your eyes. Look at ALL of Gilead’s org chats since you’re the Highly Qualified Police. Geeze are you a blind idiot?

You don’t speak up when Gilead’s other org charts are predominantly white men. You didn’t question merit, integrity, or hiring practices then. Why do you Police Investigate some org chats but not all if being Highly Qualified is such a passion of yours?

Let’s talk facts:
  • As of 2023, 86% of Fortune 500 CEOs were white men.
  • Gilead’s leadership remains overwhelmingly white.
  • McKinsey, Harvard Business Review, and Deloitte all confirm: diverse leadership teams are more innovative, make better decisions, and financially outperform homogenous ones (despite your Unqualified Opinion
Reflection Questions:
  1. Why does the presence of qualified leaders who don’t look like me trigger me so deeply?
  2. Why did I stay silent when leadership was predominantly white?
  3. Is my anger about fairness or is it about protecting & preserving Privilege?
  4. Have I mistaken my racial comfort for organizational excellence?
  5. Would I still question qualifications if the faces on the HIV org chart looked more like me?
  6. If I’m a person of faith, how do I justify fighting inclusion while claiming to represent Christ?
  7. If when I see diverse org charts & I immediately think ‘lower standards,’ what does that reveal about my heart?
  8. Am I mad about injustice or am I just mad because I now have to share the table?
Welcome to the table.
Try not to flip it over just because others have finally been invited to sit at it.

Once again My Dear,

When facts get too heavy, you default to sarcasm. You’re so intelligent, so highly qualified & yet, somehow still FAIL to articulate a single legitimate point to substantiate your claim.

I’d actually respect you more if you just admitted that privilege exists & you simply want to preserve it. I’d respect your honesty not because I agree with, but because studies show it’s a factual reality. And I respect facts.

Princeton Study: “Are Emily and Greg More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal?” (Bertrand & Mullainathan, 2004)

A landmark study that sent out thousands of identical resumes—the only difference was the name.

Key Finding: “White-sounding” names received 50% more callbacks than Black-sounding names, proving that bias and privilege exist even when qualifications are equal.



“Whiteness as Property” – Cheryl I. Harris (Harvard Law Review, 1993)

A foundational legal paper that frames whiteness itself as a form of systemic advantage embedded in law and culture—privilege that is protected and passed down, much like property.

Key Insight: Historically and legally, whiteness has functioned as a built-in access card to societal advantage:education, housing, employment- which still shapes systems today.




American Psychological Association (APA): “Disparities and Discrimination” (2019)

Research shows that racial disparities exist in hiring, healthcare, education, and criminal justice—not because of overt racism alone, but because of institutional systems that maintain unequal outcomes.

Key Insight: Impersonal systems, policies, and workplace norms—not just individual prejudice—uphold disparities.

Your Question:
Who gives AF

Answer:
Women
  • As of 2023, white women earn 82 cents for every dollar white men earn.
  • Black women earn 66 cents,
  • and Latina women earn 55 cents on the dollar.
    (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Black Americans
  • Despite equal or higher qualifications, Black applicants are 50% less likely to receive job callbacks than white applicants.
    (Bertrand & Mullainathan, 2004: “Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?”)


Indigenous People
  • Native Americans have the highest poverty rate of any racial group in the U.S. at nearly 25%.
  • They are underrepresented in higher education, government, and corporate leadership—the direct result of centuries of systemic displacement and exclusion.
    (Source: U.S. Census Bureau & National Congress of American Indians)

Immigrants & Non-Native English Speakers
  • Immigrants are more likely to work in low-wage, high-risk jobs despite being overqualified.
  • Foreign-sounding names result in lower interview callback rates, even when credentials match or exceed their white, U.S.-born peers.
    (Source: Pew Research & Harvard Business Review)


So we all get your position My Dear!

Deep down, it’s easier to mock change with cussing & playground sarcasm than to admit you’ve quietly benefited from a system built to favor you.

Hello My Dear,

I hear you. I’ve heard you. And I’m now stepping away from this conversation; Not out of anger, nor from a place of frustration toward you, but because I recognize there’s a deeper battle happening here. And there is only One who has the authority to touch your heart.


Before I go, I want to say this.
To the real you: the one formed in love & the one who is still deeply loved, I apologize for stirring offense in you through my attempts to express why DEI is needed. That was never the intention of my heart.


I bless you.
And I release you.


May truth meet you in a future moment when your heart is ready to receive it.
