Zone1 Why wa should celebrate DEI

The data does not reflect that.
The data does, however, reflect the reality that when all factors are considered, men and women get paid approximately the same. You can't look at a seasoned welder's pay after 25 years on the job and complain that a secretary fresh out of school doesn't get paid the same, yet that's what this usually boils down to.

You make a straw man. Nobody is making that case.
But where womwn do similar jobs they should be paid the same.
This link might help you understand.

Equal pay is the law in the US. Hope you guys catch up someday.
 
Back in medieval times people who were thought to be eccentric were burned as witches.
In victorian times the most famous institution was Bedlam. The carers at Bedlam used to open the doors every week so that nice people could go and watch the "crazies".

Napoleonic war veterans were forced to hobble around London selling matchbooks to keep a roof over their head.

Women couldnt vote. they couldnt even hold a bank account. Gays were jailed. Black folks were lynched and prevented from voting.

You know all this. Mankind has made progress over the centuries. None more so than the last century.

Do we want to go back as people ?

Shouldnt we look to protect the minorities in our societies ?

Shouldnt public services make accomodation for people who need more help ?
Shouldnt women get paid the same as men for the same work ?
Shouldnt ethnic minorities be protected from the racism we see still in our world ?
Shouldnt gay folk enjoy the same rights as anyone else ?

I find it difficult that I have to make this case but normality has left the building.
People who should know better now castigate DEI as an evil and not a benefit. That is beyond crazy.

We will all benefit from DEI at some stge in our lives.

How? By letting Drag Queen perverts read to Children? By letting sick perverts play Womens sports? Let's take a look at History. The Greatest Civilization in the world ,the Roman Empire ,fell. Why? They lost their Morality. Now take that at face value. Their Morality Code was different from ours ,but it was there. We should go back to 1954. Probably the BEST years of the USA.

Who is "wa?" If you meant "we" I disagree. If you are not a US citizen, your opinion about DEI doesn't mean squat.
 
I find it very funny that Tommy, who lives in a country that's around 95% white is trying to lecture anybody from a more diverse country that things are done to only benefit white men. Who are all the minorities in Wales that are positions of power and influence? As someone who isn't white, I don't care for either AA or DEI. It's insulting that white liberals believe that they need the bar lowered so that we have a chance to get on their level. It's a way, to me, to make that they're superior to others and are doing this from their benevolent hearts. That may be a better case of white supremacy than anything that democrats throw at republicans.
 
The US has never been a meritocracy. Ever. It has always been a refuge for straight white men.
You obviously do not live in the United states. I have all my life. Have black, Mexican, Asian, native American, gay, lesbian, and white friends and co workers all my 65 years of living here bud.

So take your lies and keep them to yourself. I've been "DEI" all my efn life. But the DEI you're talking about is racism and discrimination disguised.
 
What racism is and why it exists could be and maybe is a separate thread somewhere, but I'll post this here.

Racism can plausibly be described as a result of tribal instinct in large communities. People with other skin colors or any visible ethnic traits were generally not in our tribes for most of humanity's existence. That tribal instinct is limited by the need for interbreeding with other tribes for genetic diversity. People of other tribes are both attractive and unattractive in varying degrees for all people.
