The anti-DEI “movement,” especially what we see in the US, is mostly thinly veiled racism by another name. All one has to see is how frequently people call any non-white/non-male hire or appointment a “DEI-hire” because they can’t possibly conceive that marginalized groups would see any success based on merit. They start from a position where they are all incompetent and being given an unfair advantage until proven otherwise. It’s also on you to guess whatever their arbitrary bar is.

  The racial quota is used to support minorites. You don't need to generate a new account just to spew racism. You can argue that yo udon't think DEI helps and suggest an alternative but DEI is not racism even if you put it like this on purpose.

    Is interesting to me that I often see that kind of default response (“racial quotas”) as if that’s all DEI is when you get down to it. It’s really about creating a space that includes everybody and creates opportunities for all. There are many ways to approach that. I know in my brief time being involved with a DEI initiative the discussion was never about how many of any particular demographic we hired. It was about asking if we had internal barriers that disproportionally impacted certain groups. I think that’s a very different mindset than “quotas.” But people arguing in bad faith generally aren’t looking for nuance so here we are.

    How isn't it racism though? Separating people and counting them and giving them different treatment based on race is literally "discrimination" and "racism". The woke movement has distanced themselves from the teachings of Martin Luther King even. Literally quoting MLK was what got Coleman Hughes into trouble with TED. It's quite absurd.

> The anti-DEI “movement,” especially what we see in the US, is mostly thinly veiled racism by another name. The one we see on the news yea. But sane voices have been trying to stop this madness for decades and it only got worse and worse. Then fascists could easily scoop up such a clean win because the weapon was just lying there being ignored by the Democratic party. It's an own goal.
