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

GOOD FOR YOU FOR DOING THIS

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

$1 Trillion the democrats want to spend on Karen following you around and correcting your biases. What a bunch of dolts.

New study reveals 'staggering' scope of how much DEI was infused into government under Biden

A new report outlines the degree to which the Biden administration injected DEI into the federal government as the Trump administration pushes to eliminate it.

DEI has been made into quotas by who? DEI is in companies literally over the nation, top to bottom, so its ridiculous to me that you would act like it is NOT being used that way. Definitively. So confidently. It is literally thousands of companies. No doubt there are companies using it incorrectly, or doing quotas. Just like there are companies out there not hiring people of color or promoting them from within at the same rate, etc. Doesn't mean either are normal or standard. I'm not presuming to be in all those companies either to say quotas AREN'T happening. But think saying the opposite is just as ridiculous.

Next time can you take a picture of some of them or something? It’s your experience so I won’t call someone a liar, but it’s hard for me to imagine a corporate training that “shows how to assume we are always racist no matter what”. I could see “people are wired to like people who are like them or we should always be examining our own bias”. So just curious how they are wording these woke trainings at your work. Thanks for sharing.

Have seen it first hand what tiger growls describes

black shaming white people into the mode that they must kowtow to black folks no matter what they want since whites once held slaves

i was NOT in the slave holding group

Make the slave holders kowtow , but wait all of them have been dead 100 years or more

Its not just certain parts of DEI that are bad or certain ways that it is practiced that are bad.

The whole thing is just an excuse to discriminate against white people. We all know it. That’s what the “diversity” means. Diversify away from white people.


Equity, away from white people. Inclusion, anyone except for whites.

It’s poison and should be removed from every single federal or state supported dollar.

It’s no longer ok to discriminate against white.

 

[fatpiggy]

If yall want to keep DEI you are going to have to rebrand it.

We know what the current DEI is. There is no fixing it. Too much damage has been done and we will ridicule the racists going forward.


Racism against whites is racism

The fragility of white men is what will take this country back into dark times.

I appreciate that you are attempting to truly discuss the issue. Can I ask what makes this issue so important to you? Do you have a personal experience with being discriminated against?

We were discussing this previously.

Thoughts? I honestly am not sure. He has a point. But I also don’t think the government should dictate how they spend their money.

I guess it’s not dictating how they spend money, only the tax exempt status.

Are those universities getting any federal or state funding? If so then that’s bs.

this is interesting. So it’s not mandated per se by law here but clearly something has changed. This is about writers. Thoughts ??

Over the course of the 2010s, the literary pipeline for white men was effectively shut down. Between 2001 and 2011, six white men won the New York Public Library’s Young Lions prize for debut fiction. Since 2020, not a single white man has even been nominated (of 25 total nominations). The past decade has seen 70 finalists for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize—with again, not a single straight white American millennial man. Of 14 millennial finalists for the National Book Award during that same time period, exactly zero are white men. The Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford, a launching pad for young writers, currently has zero white male fiction and poetry fellows (of 25 fiction fellows since 2020, just one was a white man). Perhaps most astonishingly, not a single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker (at least 24, and probably closer to 30, younger millennials have been published in total).
