To assume that every minority employee, and especially leader, you see was hired because of dei and not because of their qualifications is incredibly racist and idk how you could see it any other way

DEI initiatives exist because racist businesses refuse to hire qualified poc such that poc and women actually have to be overqualified to get the same job opportunities

Firstly, why would anyone want to work for a racist business owner. And don’t say “ITs TheIr oNly oPtioN” cuz it’s not. And 2 when not working for those racist people, actually qualified individuals will be hired. Thirdly, The other end of the DEI coin you seem to intentionally ignore. Is that those who are more qualified for a job could be refused the position BASED ENTIRELY ON SKIN COLOR ALONE… WHICH IS RACIST. To reduce racism in the work place DEI enforces its own racism just toward others

First, plenty of people hide their racist views, in the real world you arent going to know everything about your future boss when you are applying and interviewing for jobs. No one wants to work for a racist business owner, but that doesnt mean they just magically disappear from the job market. Second, no white people arent getting overlooked for jobs because of the color of their skin. Equal opportunity is not oppression, we are just used to getting handed opportunities on a silver platter

First part I got nun wrong with, didn’t see it like that. Second part is, I never mentioned white people. It’s not equal opportunity. Theres a certain number of spots. Think schools, if the spots were open to everyone that would be equal opportunity. But it’s not. Say you have 10 more spots but DEI claims you need a certain percentage of Mexican people. Those spots aren’t open, they’re reserved. If a Mexican individual was truly the best for the job, they wouldn’t make the spot reserved

So because an alumni donates we have to reject certain people based on skin? I’m just not gonna agree with that. Phrase it how ever you want. In practice it’s just racism to counter racism. Simply allow the best to todo the job, not the best Asian, not the best Mexican. The best. If that’s a white person. Or a black person who gaf?

Perhaps an alumni should do some digging before throwing their money around?

No one is being given jobs they dont deserve the point of dei is to ensure qualified people arent turned down because of their identity, which whether you like it or not does happen and it has been affecting poc for decades

My point exactly guy. What’re you gonna say every single dei issue people had was never actually a problem because three months ago it was cancelled? Thats brainless

This idea that your opportunities are being taken by dei only works if you believe that other people just arent capable of being more qualified than you for whatever reason

It’s the same stat for everything guy. America has roughly 60% white people. So on average WHERE EVER you go it’ll be 60% white. Schools, restaurants, colleges, highways, cities. Outliers exist too
