I mostly like DEI. But I'm concerned that it is running cover for corporations. DEI is not about expanding opportunities to people evenly. DEI is about expanding opportunities to people that make the company more money. DEI alone is not enough for a fair and equitable society.

This is a stupid take, equally as stupid as saying "I'm not pro BLM because I believe that all lives matter" (for the same reason)

I hate it empowering the face eating of itself: Or once again fascists benefiting from DEI to.....abolish DEI.

Can we do anything with:

Like we report Let's Encrypt+ISRG for being DEI!! Would their certs expire then? 😣

Are  their Re-captchas having a cert issue?

Counterpoint: the phrase first proposed by Serj Tankian, an armenian biblical scholar, reading 'When Angels deserve to DEI', implies that even the God's very servants strive to have DEI programs used in their hiring and career proposals.

Why are you snorting blood my friend, did I say something wrong?

I don't believe in "Equity", I believe in "Equality". The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don't just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

I oppose the existing "DEI" as it exists today because it's openly racist. It's openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

I hate inclusive.

I'll never be in the MAGA(neo-Nazis) group.

They don't like any of them, because those are the concepts that defeated the Nazis.

They were defeated by a group of countries (diversity), which allowed anyone to join (inclusivity) and didn't think they were better than others (equity).

I oppose not hiring air traffic controllers because of their race, especially when the towers are already understaffed. But I guess a few deaths is worth it, am I right?
