My school hires adults with disabilities to clean up the food hall, so they can have experience working and living like other members of society. Tell me why I heard at least 2 of them being dead serious about hating DEI. Babe that’s why you have a job

Real talk this is really sad because it’s not coming from nowhere. They’re hearing that rhetoric they’re repeating somewhere and it seems to imply they’re surrounded pretty regularly by ableists who are actively disdainful of them.

They could have meant that they hate that that’s the reason. I had a similar conversation after I was extended an interview and that was the only possible reason. They likely meant they would want to have been hired under different circumstances. Granted, that’s just an assumption on my part.

My college does this too I’m all for it but, one guy high on the autism’s spectrum in his late 20s early 30s will literally drop everything and staring at girls boobs/ass standing 5ft away from their table and follow them around the whole caf. Ik from ppl ik that work there that despite all the complaints that come in about him each semester they refused to talk to him even though when on his like hour long break outside. Ik he doesnt know any better but the shoulj talk with him or have someone

It also would depend on their mindset, because #7 could also very likely be correct.

Walking around monitoring him, he used to have someone but not anymore. I don’t want a guy looming over me as I eat staring at my boobs cause I wore a v-neck that day, or be followed all the way from the cafeteria to the lounge in the other building.

Not necessarily, usually people only think gender and race are included in dei so it’s possible they just don’t think they’re part of that group

I’m speaking from experience as family of somebody with an ID who has spent a lot of time around the folks in these programs: this is almost certainly what’s happening. It’s true they likely think it’s not about them but that has more to do with the fact that the vast majority of the time folks impacted enough to be in a program like this aren’t going to have a deep or complex understanding of politics in that way. I don’t mean that in a patronizing way, it’s just kind of how things are.
