Zone1 ending DEI (domestically and internationally) : a good thing, or a bad?

[Dogmaphobe]

DEI is a racist system designed to punish Asians and Jews above all other groups in order to favor those who do not value education.

I support a meritocracy, myself.

Must be new. As in "NewSpeak". Get this. I don't speak Computerise. I don't use "Initial Slang". ie-LAMO. Please speak standard English. And I am OLD. My Wife found me quite attractive. Had three Kids. All grown and successful. And they were raised in a Traditional manner. See "The Wonder Years". So please say "Celibate Men". Not "INCEL." BTW--I have a Flip Phone , I do not "Text" or use "E-Mail". And I pay Bills by check. Also have a PinBall Machine. See where I am going?

Dude, don't even try with the Orwell references. We all know right wingers don't understand it.

You also seem quite defensive.

I wonder why? Especially since I didn't accuse you of being an INCEL.

I could probably RECITE "1984". However ,changing the Language and Censorship ,along with changing History ,are what you Commies do.

And yet you still think it's about authoritarians being a good thing.

Saving Taxpayers Money is "Authoritarian"? Keeping Political Promises is Authoritarian? Ending Wars is Authoritarian? CUTTING Regulations is Authoritarian? Upholding our Immigration Laws is Authoritarian? TELLING people how the Gov't is wasting Taxpayer money is Censorship?

White supremacists.

NOT DISAGREEING JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND the arguments coming from either side.
So know something is badly dishonest about the whole deal.

as a hetro, i see LGBTQ+ers encroaching more and more into the lives of hetros, in ways ranging from vulgar flirting with just about any man in the streets (solved locally for the most part by LGBTQ+ men wearing red clothing items), to blatant PDAs by LGBTQ+ couples (mostly men), to LGBTQ+ers infiltrating roles traditionally reserved for women who are born as a baby-girl.

and i don't like it one bit.

but in order not to bias this discussion too soon,
i'd like to hear your opinions on the subject.

Gee straight women have been putting up with unwanted flirting and advances made by straight men for years, but when we object to this as abuse, you complain that we're "bitches" and "lesbians". We should love it that men appreciate us. But when it happens to YOU, it's destroying your way of life. Can't you just say "I'm not interested"?

We've had gay rights and gay marriage in Canada for more than 20 years, and it's had no impact on my life at all. But then I'm not offended if gay couples are holding hands. That doesn't affect ME at all.

Gays have had rights around the world for years now. Only authoritarian countries like Russia, Hungary, and other restrictive and oppressive nations have a problem with gay marriage.

"ending DEI (domestically and internationally) : a good thing, or a bad?"
Its a good thing.

 

[Lisa558]

Seems like a silly question. DEI is a race-based discrimination system that factors one’s race or ethnicity into hiring, promotion, and admissions decisions - with favoritism given to specific groups - rather than focusing solely on merit and qualifications as the overriding factor.

Getting rid of racist policies is a good thing.

I support a meritocracy, myself.

The Declaration of Independence promises and equal opportunity to all, not an equal outcome.
DEI is discriminatory for the reason you stated. It excludes meritocracy. Some might then conclude that DEI is based on racism and bigotry.

The name of the thread should be changed to:
Look at the results here and see who is the biggest liberal nutjobs on USMB

They sold a bill of goods claiming equity but it was actually a campaign to get even.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

That doesn't affect ME at all.

And neither does having men flirt with you we can all be sure.

 

[AZrailwhale]

I don't see that encroachment. DEI needs to stay.

Equality needs to stay.NOT PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. You want preferential treatment, not equality; probably because you are afraid of competing on a level playing field.

DEI perpetrates racism and is one of a long list of things democrats have done to ensure racism continues so they can use it come election time. But, as more minorities give up on the do nothing democrats these race baiting tactics will die.
