This is Why Anti DEI Supporters and Anti DEI Policies are Racist.

[AZrailwhale]

Those like you make this about race. The policy is about equal opportunity and looking at the stats whites aren't being passed over.

DEI isn’t equal opportunity. It’s favoring one group over another. That’s the opposite of equal opportunity.

 

[Stann]

As some people celebrate Trump shutting down DEI in government they can't understand why they are being called racists. That's because their arguments always involve the claim that the policy is for blacks and the blacks who get the jobs are inherently unqualified or inferior to the white candidates that were supposedly passed over.

Furthermore making it about race, or specifically about blacks shows the overt racism in the opposition. DEI was never just for blacks.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion​

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability

It includes gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, culture, class, religion, or opinion.

If not for DEI, there would be no Governor Greg Abbott. There would not be a Kriti Noem or Pam Biondi. Every white woman in this forum bragging about a career wouldn't exist either. An individual Trumps age who wants a job would have no chance. I can keep going. So this entire time when I have been calling those who oppose DEI and affirmative action racists, it's because by the definition of the word, the belief that a group is inherently superior or inferior has been the argument made by every person here who has argued against these policies. Not one of you ever took the time to consider that blacks aren't the only people who are included in DEI or Affirmative Action.

Maybe they could rationalize most of this anti-DEI junk and believe somehow it's alright. But including the disabled in that really should make people wake up to what is wrong with this anti-DEI garbage.

These guys don't know what DEI is. They get played for their racism and that's all it takes.

It’s already illegal to discriminate against the disabled has been for decades. Minorities and the disabled have exactly the same rights and privileges as everyone else. Equality means just that, equality, not advantages or set-asides for some at the expense of others, Jim Crow was wrong and by the same standard DEI is as well.

Treating everyone as equals is not racism except in your mind. You need to grow up and get over your paranoia; no one is out to screw your over.

I am not paranoid but you sound like you are. Guess you're not totally confident in what you preach.

STFU white man. Your whining about DEI is exactly BECAUSE you want special treatment. When 60 percent of the population(whites) have 76 percent of the jobs and complain about a policy that allows others to have the same opportunity, that's evil. When whites have been the majority beneficiary of DEI and punks like you whine about not getting equal treatment, that's also evil. This is why some blacks call whites devils. You aren't about treating everyone as equals or you wouldn't be whining about this given the facts. Paranoia has nothing to do with me. I'm based on reality. You are a racist and a racist trying to tell me something is just not a thing I will listen to.

Somebody has to have the jobs to fund the welfare for your black brothers.

Not All Opposition is Racist: While some opposition may stem from genuine concerns about meritocracy or political ideology, the broader context often involves racial undertones.

The U.S. Constitution, particularly the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, has implications for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. This clause ensures that states cannot deny equal protection under the law, which has been interpreted to prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, and other classifications. While the Constitution itself does not explicitly mention DEI, its principles of equality and non-discrimination form the legal foundation for many DEI initiatives aimed at addressing systemic inequalities. Executive orders and federal laws, such as those related to civil rights and affirmative action, further connect constitutional principles to DEI efforts.

Executive Order 13985, issued by President Biden, aimed to advance racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government. It led to the development of "Equity Action Plans" by federal agencies, which detailed how they furthered diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across various sectors, including airline safety and the military. However, this order was later targeted by President Trump's executive orders, which sought to terminate what they deemed "illegal DEI programs" and promote merit-based opportunities instead. The implications are here:

Expansion of DEI Initiatives: Initially, it expanded DEI efforts across federal agencies.

Subsequent Reversal: Later executive orders aimed to dismantle these initiatives, citing concerns over discrimination and wasteful spending.

When the concern about meritocracy is always blacks aren't qualified and qualified whites are being discriminated against, that is racist.

 

[Thinker101]

Yep, and you're always complaining that meritocracy is not fair to blacks...go figure. What you really mean is that it's not fair to you.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

When the concern about meritocracy is always blacks aren't qualified and qualified whites are being discriminated against, that is racist.

I guess the truth is at least partially racist.

 

[Correll]

When the concern about meritocracy is always blacks aren't qualified and qualified whites are being discriminated against, that is racist.

If the policy of discrimination is aimed at discriminating in favor of un or less qualified blacks at the expense of qualified whites,

then the only thing to discuss or be concerned about, IS that.


Your complaint is just not reasonable.

Discriminating against maligned and persecuted groups , especially the disabled is unthinkable.

DEI isn’t equal opportunity. It’s favoring one group over another. That’s the opposite of equal opportunity.

And who is the judge of what equal is , who decides. In the end it allows discrimination because people make the final decisions
Good thing AI came along. Let it decide , that's the only solution. The human element cannot be trusted , personal bias always interferes with judgment.

 

[Correll]

The topic is discrimination against whites, who are indeed an greatly malinged and persecuted group.
