If DEI is such a great thing, why is the phrase "DEI hire" viewed as an insult?

Yeah, statistically the smartest, most ambitious, and most successful (except at US sports) race. Of course they are viewed as worse.

Another dumb ass comment from a white guy being butt hurt. White Fragility at it finest.

VP Kamala Harris or JD Vance? Which one has the better resume with vastly more experience? Harris for President. She has just as much if not more than a lot of former presidents. Trump had zero experience.....zero, and will always be a lying idiot.

Exactly!

They will always get admitted and hired above everyone else because this is the reality. Only way to have their so-called equity is have different standards for blacks.

Avg black SAT score 908 (31st percentile) Avg Asian SAT score 1219 (78th percentile).

Because conservatives hate everything that is a good idea and do their best to come up with terms to mock it.

I can't speak for everyone's DEI practices, but in my experience, "DEI hire" shows a fundamental misunderstanding of DEI. It's not about hiring one person instead of another because of some category they fit into; rather, it's about ensuring that recruiting and hiring practices are not innately biased or discriminatory. Increasing the diversity of your applicant pool and ensuring fair and non-discriminatory screening/interviewing processes increases the likelihood that the most qualified candidate is someone who increases the diversity of your workforce.

So, ultimately, it's still hiring somebody because of their race.

And we can't say there's another word for that.

You people really believe your own bs.

Corporations should label each DEI hire as such.

If you have no way of tracking or monitoring them, how do you measure the success or failure of your DEI program?

Why is it a good idea to hire people or admit people to academic programs because of the color of their skin and not their proven ability?

Please explain.

Democrats are great at reframing.

DEI = racism

But nothing new. Democrats are the party of slavery and racism

The poorest uneducated immigrants who come here with nothing, work hard, outwork everyone and achieve high levels of success- but we can't discuss that.

Not to mention the hate, even hate crimes that they endure, and nobody wants to admit that either.

We could all learn a lot from a culture that values the keys to success- hard work, sacrifice, and respect for self and others.

*disclaimer -I am not asian, just respect the grind.

Kamahala earned it by suckin off a senior citizen when she was a youngin. They called it the San Fransisco treat.

I hope you get a DEI dentist for your next root canal.

DEI isn't such a great thing. Gives spots to underqualified people cuz theyre black

Its crazy how anyone can be friends with a democrat. They want hiring based on race and legelate it. How can a racist be your friend?

I'll explain, (you jackass). To give people a chance to prove their ability. A lot of these "DEI recruits" are coming from places where they were the best, but without adequate competition. Like your 20 minute 5k might win the local park run, but up against more formidable competition you may or may not rise to the challenge. Same idea. You moron.

It’s just one of those terms that conservatives chose to use as an insult.

Obviously for a company to have diversity equity and inclusion among their staff is a good thing. You bring in different view points, treat them equally and include them in major discussions.

But yell DEI and that triggers bigots to think inclusion means not including them for some reason.

The well liked Affordable Care Act was called Obamacare so Obama haters wouldn’t approve of it.

Woke was a term for black people to stay aware that the fight for civil rights is not over. But it became a term that represented everything that conservatives didn’t like. So it’s an insult now.

Bigots are very good at marketing their insults to trigger their people into hate mode.

Either you didn't understand what I wrote, or you believe that a white man will always be the most qualified candidate. If it's the latter, making you not racist is outside the scope of what I can reasonably achieve on the letsrun boards
