A major point of DEI, IMO, is broadening the base of available employees, a benefit to the company and to customers who feel more welcome.

- raxxorraxor 2y agoIt may have been a point, but it wasn't the result. Instead its loudest proponents used it to create a victim hierarchy along racial lines that certainly did not decrease prejudice. Worse, it made fun of formerly popular ideas of humanism and replaced those with worse ones. The typical "I don't see color"-critics that may not have thought it through. Also, the prevalence of employers discriminating along racial lines was very likely very small even before DEI became a thing. It didn't have a sensible focus either.
