DEI

[anonymous]

DEI initiatives result in the downfall of most, if not all, institutions that push it. Just take a look at Target's latest initiative to bury it . . . . . smart move. Libtardism fails.

Bless your heart

i’ll answer the question for you, but you probably won’t like the answer Or you’ll just deny the truth.

The whole system has been set up over hundreds of years to favour white men. This is why white men dominate the economy, capital, and most senior executive positions. You would be deluded if you thought that white men were fundamentally just better Than all other humans. The reason they dominate all of these areas is because of affirmative action for white men for these past hundreds of years.

Affirmative action policies designed to bring people up to a level playing field are not ideal, but unfortunately there isn’t an obvious viable alternative in correcting this major structural imbalance in the economy and society.

let me also make a key point. Despite policies to level up minorities, white men are still favoured as evidence by data on promotions especially senior leadership promotions. So these policies are not designed to penalise but to bring people up to the same level. Further more the policies are supposed to create a level playing field where people have equal opportunity not equal outcome. This is not always properly implemented though.

unfortunately the response from many people like yourself, is that we should simply do nothing about the structural issues in the economy and society. Your argument is that because you didn’t directly create the system that has resulted in you benefiting disproportionately to others, nothing should be done and you should be allowed to retain all of the privilege that you have today.

Neither one of us can go back and change what happened in the past. You have every opportunity today that I have. More, in fact. Because companies and AZ are actively and openly saying they will promote and hire diversity candidates.

Tell me how you not getting an opportunity for a promotion because you’re not a white man is any less fair than a white man losing his job because he is one?

This country’s original sin of slavery and the racism it caused and it’s effects is gonna take a long time to overcome. That created privilege and pain at the time, but neither of us lived either side of it. Punishing me to lift you up is just the reverse of that. And if you think I retain privilege because I’m white then you why did so many white men have to pay the price for George Floyd’s murder?

Why can’you or any DEI advocate at least be honest and say it’s just a more aggressive form of affirmative action?

I think there would have been more buy in of DEI if the companies actually wanted diversity. The white men senior executives picking a Black person CDO were covering their asses. How many openly gay people at AZ? How many times have you offered a differing opinion and been shunned? Wealthy white men protecting their status at all cost by hiring a few Black shields. It tided them over until now so I guess it worked. Its gonna continue to be the reign of mediocre white men at AZ and throughout the USA

Isn’t it funny how, when you get up to a certain level of leadership, DEI suddenly has no place. It’s ok to get rid of lower level white men, but DF and others at that level sure haven’t had to worry about being replaced by a DEI hire.

Institutional prejudice is still here in the USA. Shameful

Keep arguing back and forth, so none of you will notice how much your ruling class keeps amassing wealth at your expense.

A little bit here, a little bit there.

They used to teach the Hegelian Dialectic in school. Knowledge of this tactic led to the French Revolution. I can see why this was discontinued.

So is the expectation of entitlements without working hard.
