DEI is a racist agenda that endangers us all. It should be discarded for a merit based approach that ignores race, religion etc.

> DEI is a racist agenda that endangers us all. The argument so far has shown how fallacious and unsubstantiated this claim is. The irony in this case is that the exact opposite applies. > It should be discarded for a merit based approach that ignores race, religion etc. This so called 'merit' is a distraction meant to hide 'privilege'. There is no merit unless privilege gap is addressed first. If you think DEI hiring counts as privilege, then you haven't seen or recognized systematic discrimination, racist mistreatment and outright kakistocracy. It's like a trained and well-armed soldier asking a farmer for a fair duel over who gets to keep the harvests- there is nothing fair about it. My original reply had nothing do with race, but you managed to drag it into it for no good reason. The only reason I responded is because I didn't want to lend credence to such crude ideas with my silence. Unless you have any reasonable evidence to suggest that DEI hires are in any way responsible for these mishaps, I'm going to assume that have nothing more to say other than a one-sided diatribe against the challenge to your privileges.

Once you get out of the wacky humanities courses and into the real world this argument falls apart. Look at the aforementioned UA incident. > This so called 'merit' is a distraction meant to hide 'privilege' We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. > My original reply had nothing do with race, but you managed to drag it into it for no good reason Race is but one component of DEI and the easiest to reach for. > I'm going to assume that have nothing more to say other than a one-sided diatribe against the challenge to your privileges. Yes safe landings and safe air travel is a privilege and DEI is a challenge to that. What's more it is but a single industry where public safety and product quality is being sacrificed for the religious dogma of DEI. Its a funny coincidence DEI is Latin for god, but fitting none the less.
