This will do nothing to solve discrimination towards groups of people that have been looked down on for the entirety of our country's history.
Trump worked hard to increase his support with blacks before the election but now that he's starting his term by wiping out everything related to DEI and affirmative action, do you think he'll keep it?
But it wll stop the blatant, and illegal, racism against white people.
This requires that race be taken out of the equation, as it should. We are now a merit based society, as it should be.
No one, of any color, gets any preference. We are all created equal.
Even blacks want DEI to die. They don't want a leg up. They want to compete on an even playing field. The soft bigotry of low expectations will also come to an end given time.
This isn't an argument about whether it's right or wrong but methinks they're probably a little put off by this all-out war against their interests. I also think you're taking for granted how they feel about it. Your comment is more illustrative of how white guys like you feel about it, not how they might feel.
Racism against white people? Yeah I'm going to have to put that aside for now because it will not lead to any constructive conversation.
Would you agree or disagree that people when hiring/promoting, have a bias towards people who they have more things in common with? Or that have previous relationships with?
I'll rephrase. I have yet to meet, in person, a black person who thinks they are inferior and wants a lower set of standards. They all think its ridiculous.
If you ignore the racism against white people you are ignoring the whole DEI Biden administration. But maybe you want to ignore that. Maybe you think skin color is a good way to allocate people and resources?
DEI is a poisinous scam. It lowers the bar for people of color and others, at the expense of us all. We all end up with a worse product in the end due to DEI.
Is this how you have serious conversations with others IRL? If so I feel for them.
What you are saying btw is very ironic and I know you don't see it.
Yes. I tell people to their face DEI is a poisonous scam. It's a great litmus test. If people have a problem with it i know they are racist and I can move on to other more educated and well rounded people.

We shouldn't be judging, hiring, firing, admitting, promoting, etc. anyone based on the color of their skin. It's really that simple.
I understand the sentiment but wiping out everything that has given them a leg up since the 60s could backfire and cause him to lose their support. Agree or disagree?

Not sure TBH. It's 4 years until the next election. They may reinstate protections without mandating affirmative action. Who knows.
