Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

So is this why DEI exists?
DEI exists because racists often have hiring power. It doesn’t force the hiring of the unqualified, it supports the qualified from not being discriminated against.
Nice “centrism” btw.
So riddle me this, why is it hard to believe that DEI type policies could be plot by some organization or country against the U.S. when there’s literally a field manual which says that such policies should be used against “fascists”. People on Lemmy call the U.S. imperialist all the time.
The flaw in your argument is the false equivalency between minorities (people the DEI programs are there to support) and “inefficient workers”.
Are straight white dudes exempt from ever being considered inefficient? That’s silly.
No, I didn’t say minorities, you’re assuming that. I was pointing out the part in the text which says, “fight fascists by creating bureaucracy”. There are lots of articles already which point out that DEI is for all identities, not just POC.
The plain and simple truth is that DEI often increases, not decreases, efficiency and productivity. It does this by creating accommodations for efficient workers who would, without them, not be able to work, such as in the new mothers example. It also increases efficiency by combating existing institutional racism and allowing for good, efficient workers who would otherwise be hedged out of the system, to have a chance to participate. A good friend of mine has pointed out that their company is not, under any circumstances, going to let go of their DEI policies because it’s lead the best and most efficient departments they’ve ever had.
There is more merit to people in a meritocracy than grades alone.
Do you not believe in getting opportunity? Can you recall a few times people took a chance on you? What if nobody ever did?
Please stop. I literally made this thread a while back

I believe in people getting opportunities. What I don’t like are thought police, or thought correction officers.
Left authoritarianism is still authoritarianism.
I also don’t take it for granted that someone talking about “empathy” or “compassion” necessarily doesn’t have ulterior motives.
Please do explain how to give such people opportunities without any “thought police” being involved…

DEI only irks people who are racists. For everyone else, it’s just a hiring process.
DEI is for all identities, not just POC. Creating more process is part of the the CIA field manual for fighting fascists, hence the question, are more bureaucratic jobs being created in some misguided attempt to “fight US imperialism”?
When you are already in a hole, stop digging!
No, I won’t. Considering what you wrote in your linked post, why are you asking such strange questions?
Thought police? Yet you’re ok with being told not to touch/compliment women’s butts at work??
I won’t stop because you’re hilariously inept 🤣
I am asking these questions because we already have EO laws and ADA policies. We also have anti-harassment policies. What does DEI add that’s new other than create more bureaucratic jobs?
From my perspective, DEI just creates divisions between groups by splitting people into distinct identities.
Why wouldn’t you ask your questions like that initially?
The more you talk, the less confident I am of your good faith.
You seem troubled and confused about why helping all people is a good thing. Good luck to you.
Tbh, I am coming to terms with my own vulnerability to fall for leftist propaganda.
