What are your thoughts on DEI?
I would love to hear your experiences and your thoughts on this topic. If you have pro-DEI or anti-DEI positions, I will read them, consider them and respect your right to your own opinion.
My position is that I'm anti-DEI as I consider it a form of discrimination against white males and also consider it very deceptive. I'm open to discussing it!
Tell me you don't understand institutional racism without telling me you don't understand institutional racism.
I think you and many others make the mistake of thinking that if group A and group B differ in outcomes and success, group B must be striving to keep down group A. What you don't consider is that different races and people in different subcultures exhibit massively different behaviors.
The problem is that we can't talk about this anywhere without being threatened by HR or even threatened to be banned from certain social media sites.
So there's really almost nothing we can do about this until your side admits that you're anti-free speech and anti-free inquiry, even at the highest academic levels. If you can admit that then we could actually start listing behavioral differences between African Americans and Whites or Asians, and then perhaps start really figuring out how to approach this problem of 'inequity'
There's better options for helping the disadvantaged than resorting to racism.
Rather than hold up a color chart why not judge based on economic factors? A person's income,parental income, education level, tax returns etc are far more accurate indicators.
Dei is institutional racism and ugly as hell.
**"why not judge based on economic factors" **- completely agree with this. Judging by the tint of your skin is insane. But as an employer I would give more value to someone who succeeded coming from a poor economic situation over someone who did not. Everything is equal but one started working part time during school at 14, working full time in the summers, vs. a kid who never had or needed a job during their years in school. I'll hire the kid who started working at 14
