Zone1 DEI Created Meritoracy in the Federal Workforce, The Very Thing That Trump & His Minions Claim Has Been Lost as a Result of DEI

[daveman]

No crashes.

Until Trump got there.

Now we've had two in the last two weeks.

Now you get to explain how Trump caused them. Hop to it.

 

[BackAgain]

What a baseless & stupid thread headline

 

[JoeB131]

Nobody thinks that.

Apparently a lot of you do... or you wouldn't be whining about DEI.

 

[JoeB131]

Now you get to explain how Trump caused them. Hop to it.

You mean how did his sending out "Quit or be fired" letters to all the ATC workers might have had an effect on safety?

I'm sure it didn't help.

You don't know anything about college admissions and you are lying.

Lisa558 does not need to lie. You do. The following diagram illustrates Lisa558's point:

Or, it has absolutely no effect of any kind.

Settle down, child.

Lisa is lying and you are using debunked bullshit.
This is why I have your low IQ racist --- on ignore.

Lisa is lying and you are using debunked bullshit.
This is why I have your low IQ racist --- on ignore.

In the United States the average IQ for a Negro is 85. The average for a white person is 100. When was that debunked? Where is there evidence that Negroes and whites, on the average, are intellectually equal?

This is what a lack of critical thinkings skills does for you, but it's also a heightened form of gaslighting. Or to dumb it down a bit - you tell a lie, over and over and over again, never back down and people will eventually begin to remember that it's a lie.

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives have contributed to creating a more meritocratic system in the federal workforce, particularly by ensuring that hiring and promotions are based on qualifications and abilities rather than bias or exclusionary practices.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------​

How DEI Created Meritocracy in the Federal Workforce​

1. Eliminating Exclusionary Practices
   • Before DEI efforts, certain racial, gender, and socioeconomic groups were systematically excluded from federal job opportunities, whether through explicit policies or implicit biases in hiring and promotion.
   • By removing barriers, DEI allowed a broader pool of qualified candidates to compete on merit rather than connections, race, or gender.
2. Expanding Access to Opportunities
   • Affirmative action and DEI initiatives opened federal positions to historically underrepresented groups.
   • Veteran hiring preferences, disability inclusion programs, and outreach efforts brought highly qualified candidates into government roles based on skills and expertise rather than traditional networks.
3. Objective Hiring Standards
   • The Merit System Principles (5 U.S.C. § 2301) ensure that federal hiring is based on ability, knowledge, and skills rather than personal favoritism.
   • DEI efforts reinforced structured hiring processes, like blind resume reviews and standardized evaluation criteria, reducing the impact of bias.
4. Promoting Fair Advancement
   • Historically, informal networks often dictated who got promotions and leadership roles.
   • DEI programs helped create clearer promotion pathways where employees were evaluated based on performance, not just who they knew.

How Did This Become Controversial?​

In recent years, critics have argued that some DEI efforts have gone beyond leveling the playing field and created new forms of exclusion, such as:​

• Diversity-focused hiring goals that, in some cases, led to accusations of reverse discrimination.
• Training programs that critics claim promote a specific ideological perspective rather than neutral professional development.
• Legal challenges questioning whether certain DEI programs comply with existing anti-discrimination laws.

So, Did DEI Create a Meritocracy?​

Yes, in the federal workforce, DEI helped build a more merit-based system by ensuring that hiring and advancement were based on ability rather than bias. However, the debate arises when policies perceived as ensuring diversity appear to conflict with strictly race-neutral or “colorblind” interpretations of merit.​

Whenever you make hiring criteria based on gender, race, ethnicity, and/or LGBTQX+ instead of hiring the most qualified person for the job, you have the exact opposite of meritocracy.

Meritocracy focuses ONLY on hiring the very best qualified for the job based on experience, aptitude, ability, certification and/or proven track record that have nothing to do with skin color, gender, sexual orientation etc.

And so you have just described America for the past 249 years. Whites such as yourself need to stop explaining to people what merit is. The majority of whites in this country aren't where they are because of merit. That is why policies such as DEI are necessary. Because white employers don't consider merit. They consider only white as merit and qualified.

So let's show you examples of why DEI is needed. For example, people like you want the FBI to hire without considering skin color. So then do you expect a white male FBI agent to be able to infiltrate inner city black gangs in order to stop inner-city gang crime? Will a white FBI officer be able to get himself into a South American gang in order to stop cartels from trafficking humans and drugs into this country?

Hegseth tasks about "merit" in the military. So do you think an American white man will be able to infiltrate a Middle Eastern terrorist cell to bust up that cell?

If you open a store in the back community serving black customers, do you hire an all-white staff and management, because you assume they are better qualified? Or do you hire an all-black staff but make whites the management? Or would the store be more successful with staff and management from that community or reflecting that community?

The right-wing race hustle must stop. Whites have played the same tired-ass race card since at least 1776. At this point in time, the amount of money this nation has lost because whites decided that merit and qualification meant white only is staggering. Without white racism, this nation would not be facing debt and deficits. So just how long are right-wing whites going to continue doing the same thing hoping for different results?

False. If it was a meritocracy it would be possible to hold incompetent, or corrupt public officials accountable for their actions.

That is almost impossible.

Advocates of diversity, equity, and inclusion (AKA, affirmative action) ignore the 15 point gap in average IQ's between whites and blacks.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

She was elected so that doesn’t involve DEI. Apples and oranges.
You can be sure that the white democrats who elected her don’t have diversity in their neighborhood except for the mailman and their maids and landscapers.

No, not apples and oranges, except to racists.

Because she was elected, you can't claim that she is unqualified for the position she holds and only obtained it because of DEI because that would mean the 79% white population where she was elected is mistaken about her qualifications which CLEARLY they weren't.

Going around claiming people are unqualified for the jobs they hold due to their race is a form of harassment and defamation. Getting them fired from those jobs due to your racist beliefs is actionable.

But keep being stupid, it makes our job a whole lot easier.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

False. If it was a meritocracy it would be possible to hold incompetent, or corrupt public officials accountable for their actions.

That is almost impossible.

Why are you blaming that on DEI? Are you really completely oblivious to every incompetent and corrupt "good ole boy" system that allows the favorites to get away with just about anything. The systems that have NO BLACK people in them at all? So why are you blaming THAT on DEI.

You all are just looking for a scapegoat as an explanation as to why you are unable to compete if you haven't taken any measures to ensure that you're always employable.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Advocates of diversity, equity, and inclusion (AKA, affirmative action) ignore the 15 point gap in average IQ's between whites and blacks.

Yet when you were asked to put up or shut up you got insulted after agreeing to a comparison and then ran away.

Nobody who is successful tries as hard as you all do to make others believe that you are superior as whites to the Black race. In fact, your claims are laughable

So the NBA would be more merit based if they implemented a DEI program and got away from merit and skill?

You silly person, I am native American, I actually lived on a res as a child, my people were treated far worse than the blacks were, and many are still trapped in the prison of drug and alcohol abuse.

I chose early to work hard and do something with my life, and I have been very successful. I am now 80 years old, and long retired, but still very active in my community.

You need to learn how to read the room better.

I do not remember when what you claim in your first sentence happened. Post the comment or comments again.

I have never claimed "Whites are superior to blacks." That claim would assert that all whites are superior to all blacks, and it would beg the question: What do I mean by superior?

Blacks obviously dominate some sports, like basketball and boxing.

What I have claimed and documented is that whites tend to be more intelligent than blacks, and we have lower rates of crime and illegitimacy. I have also pointed out that East Asians tend to be more intelligent than we are, and they have lower rates of crime and illegitimacy than we do.
