I seem to recall Trump wanting to end the divisiveness of inclusiveness and somehow people just accepted him saying that

They would unironically say those out loud if they didn’t think people would judge them, maybe not in so many words though.

If you’re lucky enough to grow up in a heavily conservative family that has a 4th of July weeklong party with all of the extended family parking their RVs and tents on the lawn, then you would also know this as a fact

I think qualified people should be hired. May the best person for the job be hired, without even considering race, or anything other than skill. DEI is veiled discrimination.

I mostly like DEI. But I'm concerned that it is running cover for corporations. DEI is not about expanding opportunities to people evenly. DEI is about expanding opportunities to people that make the company more money. DEI alone is not enough for a fair and equitable society.

This is a stupid take, equally as stupid as saying "I'm not pro BLM because I believe that all lives matter" (for the same reason)

I hate it empowering the face eating of itself: Or once again fascists benefiting from DEI to.....abolish DEI.

Can we do anything with:

Like we report Let's Encrypt+ISRG for being DEI!! Would their certs expire then? 😣

Are  their Re-captchas having a cert issue?

Counterpoint: the phrase first proposed by Serj Tankian, an armenian biblical scholar, reading 'When Angels deserve to DEI', implies that even the God's very servants strive to have DEI programs used in their hiring and career proposals.

Why are you snorting blood my friend, did I say something wrong?

I don't believe in "Equity", I believe in "Equality". The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don't just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

I oppose the existing "DEI" as it exists today because it's openly racist. It's openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

Here you go bud, hope it helps.

How about they just pay for seats? The stands clearly are accommodating for everyone. And it isn't 'equity' either.

This graphic has been used for too long because of its emotional aspect. Equality is them buying seats and watching the game without boxes at all. In itself, it's a fallacy because they clearly have accommodations for all of them, and they've decided to stand behind a fence.

And, since WHEN do skin colors need special accommodations ANYWAYS?

Dividing people by skin color is the first way the corporate elite divide our nation - so that we fight amongst ourselves against the real discrimination, class-based discrimination.

I hate inclusive.

I'll never be in the MAGA(neo-Nazis) group.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

They don't like any of them, because those are the concepts that defeated the Nazis.

They were defeated by a group of countries (diversity), which allowed anyone to join (inclusivity) and didn't think they were better than others (equity).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Equality != Equity. Equity is equal outcome regardless of capability. Equality is equal opportunity, and merit-based.

Equity is the wrong thing to strive for when we don't even have equality yet.

Haha, nice one.

I oppose not hiring air traffic controllers because of their race, especially when the towers are already understaffed. But I guess a few deaths is worth it, am I right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Your comment makes no sense, have a nice day!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

I think it make sense. They're saying its a bad idea to not hire someone who's qualified, just because of the color of their skin.
