DEI

[letsgocu]

As far as the branding problem, I would suggest that it has been intentionally twisted to upset people. DEI isn't Quotas.

DEI is literally an attempt to make sure that we don't continue past discriminations and we respect and value the diverse qualities,experiences, and skills that each person brings to a team.

I'd equate it to this: what if all of your WR were 6'5" and slow? Not going to be very good are they? But combined with some speedy,smaller WR they can have immense value in the red zone, or as blockers. You are much harder to defend when you have various skillsets on your team

lol, this is full of crap and I’m a minority who is part of the process.

DEI has been made into quotas.

I am intimately familiar with this process and while it’s the right thing to have a process that allows inclusive interviewing and hiring, it is NOT being used that way.

There are quotas to how many brown, black people should be considered and interviewed. There are quotas and statistics kept for % of minorities hired and % of diversity in workplaces.

I mean, fair and non bias means not even know wtf race someone is when they apply for a position. It’s looking at a resume and making decisions to interview based on the contents of that resume and then ultimately the interview.

That’s not what’s happening in most companies and places that prioritize “DEI”.

While we have been having productive discussion, what do you think when you see this? Because i know you don't want to watch the whole video, im talking about the :40 second to 1:15 minute mark. Hopefully you can work through 35 seconds of O'keefe

He specifically says he wants his work force to gravitate away from white people.

Question 1) Is this an appropriate goal?

Question 2) Would it be ok if the person said the opposite and wanted to transition his workforce away from black or (insert race) people?

Question 3) Should white people work for State Farm knowing this?

@fatpiggy Have a friend who was very high up in the State Farm Insurance network

They wanted him to take an executive position in Chicago and even offered a place in some other areas.

He told me that State Farm was on a DEI splurge hiring anything Black that had a pulse but particularly Black Women

Based on that conversation I think he was saying NO WHITES NEED APPLY NO MATTER HOW QUALIFIED

State Farm Insurance is a massive client owned company so the DEI hiring resulted in lots of issues

Of course some were qualified but the simple MASS of UNQUALFIED HIRING brought in lots of people who botched insurance claims in the thousands

Just saying this was gossip and rumor and I think this is correct

I will tell you that in full transparency, I get tired of the very obvious "placement" as if they are checking a box of ethnicities and sexualities. It is very inauthentic, and frankly seems a little disrespectful of the groups they are trying to represent. I much prefer a show that has those characters,but doesn't make a big deal about it. There is a book I've read recently that has a non binary character, This character has a female name, but is referred to as "They/Them". It is not ever explained, the author doesn't a make a big deal about it, It's just the facts. That is a much stronger way to show representation.

I will say, in speaking with many of my friends who are of those ethic and LGBTQ+ groups that seeing characters who are like them is meaningful. It is important to feel accepted and see yourself represented in the world. None of us wants to feel alone.

One thing I always go back to is this, " Why do you care?". If it doesn't harm you, if it doesn't harm someone else, why do you care? Watch something else, we have a million options.

the massive TV DEI push has me turned off

Statistically speaking based on the shows characters most of Americans are drag , LGBT(whatever) and live as husband-husband or wife- wife with adopted children.

I turn the channel from every show following your advice as advertisers are turning off tens of millions of people who don't want to watch out of the main stream relationships or have children watching the stuff

That why FOX NEWS is slaughtering the other cable news Too much crap and not enough truth
