I like how this debate never changes. 20 years ago everything I see in the comments was being said about "affirmative action". The only thing that's really changed is the terminology.
affirmative action -> DEI
PC (political correctness) -> "woke"
Can't wait to see what the language for the next iteration of this looks like, because I doubt the debate itself is going away anytime soon.
- NewsyHacker 3y ago1990s-era affirmative action in the US was purely a decision made by company management and HR when hiring though, wasn’t it? That is, it wasn’t something that involved the average employee. So much of the frustration about DEI that I have seen on HN and elsewhere, is about all employees having to attend boring meetings or events.

- Always_Anon 3y agoAffirmative Action != DEI PC != Woke These are different terms for different concepts, even if there's some overlap.
