The reason for all this is pretty simple, when you get down to it. Corporations want to look good with regards to quote-"diversity" much more than they actually want diversity. Pandering to the stereotypical caricatures of diversity is far more rewarding, both in the C-suite and on the modern university campus. Real diversity is a nice-to-have, sure — it's not all cynical pretense — but quote-"diversity" will mean good press, more status, and ward off certain critics.
- president 5y agoMaybe, but why are these companies spending billions of dollars on diversity consultants and hiring Chief Diversity Officers when you could literally just tell your existing HR staff to boost diversity hires? It's not exactly rocket science. Something is really fishy here. EDIT: Keep downvoting me guys. I'm saving screenshots of all of this to show how flawed the state of discourse is on this site. To the mods, something is systemically wrong when an innocuous statement made in good faith can be downvoted.
- 1MachineElf 5y ago>why are these companies spending billions of dollars on diversity consultants Are they really spending that much? I'm out of the loop on this. Any and all such consultants I typically hear about are ones who have had some falling-out on Twitter. If consultants are resigning left and right, it can't be that much money, can it? Really billions?
