DEI is a counterweight to unconscious bias, which, as far as I've seen, is still way more of a factor in hiring than DEI.

- Chris2048 3y ago> which, as far as I've seen and a lot of other people have the opposite view, only to be told their subjective opinion doesn't count. "unconscious bias" has certainly spurred/influenced policies wrt DEI, despite its dubious academic basis.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoWell "unconscious bias" is a vapid meaningless term with no real concrete definition. It is essentially a political cudgel used to accuse someone of racism for which there is no evidence. To be fair I have never seen a hiring decision made on DEI grounds. its always talent/skill first. So I am not complaining about bullshit DEI hiring, I am complaining about programs where companies hire speakers for absurd fees to come give lipservice to cool black culture is and how shitty white people are. Its such an obvious scam and its painful to watch everyone get brow beaten into public self flagellation.
