Are we ready to admit that Woke & DEI and woke wasn’t what was holding you back from success?

No one of any significance "supports" racism. If you know people who do, call them out and we'll work together to eliminate them.

That’s factually incorrect. White women were the benefactors of DEI so it has nothing to do with racism. It was implemented because companies realized that very few women and POC were being hired and promoted. Just look at MAGA.

The touchy-feely people who fall for DEI-related nonsense aren’t likely to join the military in the first place, so it was a bad fit.

Military recruiting is doing better because young people can’t find jobs anywhere else.

+1. Destroy the economy. Destroy higher education. Folks have to turn to jobs in the military or head down to the swamps in Florida and work as ice agents. Thanks Maga, such wonderful opportunities.

What’s wrong with working for ICE? All they are doing is enforcing our democratically-passed laws.

What's wrong with going to college and getting a good education and starting your own business and employing people in the economy instead of sucking off the government teat for your job?

Not everyone wants to go around dressed like a masked thug and harassing soccer moms and incarcerating them in a swamp in Florida to earn money. Just because you would enjoy that doesn't mean it's for most people.

Wow. Way to insult the entire federal workforce.

You are a real nut-job.

I worked as a contractor for a dozen years and saw the results of fed.gov

Basically nothing gets done and the private sector can do what the federal workforce is trying to do in a fraction of time. It's just a bunch of gatekeepers and bureaucracies that fight each other for turf and a steady pay check. It's a constant clusterf.

You sound like Kushner in the first term discovering to his surprise that we had two houses of Congress that had to approve spending. He thought having a Senate as well as a House was redundant and a waste of time.

Not seeing any concrete examples of MAGA being helped, but the press is filled with stories of Trump supporters losing their family farms, small businesses, and even their spouses when they find out they are the “waste” in the phase “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

The sad fact is that today’s MAGA white male just can’t keep up in a true meritocracy. So many are just confidently mediocre and entitled, can’t be trained, and are a liability around women and POC clients and other employees. Once you see past the bluster they’re done. Trump isn’t going to change that. The only way they can compete against people who are smarter than them and to take their place among the well connected and well born is to get rid of the competition. Which they are working very hard to do.

I've heard both Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson referred to as "DEI hires" by people like you. But which is more racist - the fact that they are the first Black female VP and SC justice respectively, or the fact that nobody who occupied those positions between 1789 and 2021 was a Black female?

It's helped me with imposter syndrome. I know a lot of minorities like myself that never liked DEI.

I agree with that. But Black males and females also can't keep up in a true meritocracy. In a true meritocracy, it's going to be Asians on top followed by white women. (Of course I'm generalizing, and there will be stand out white males, star Black males, star Latinx, etc. But in general, Asians are smarter and harder working than the rest. White women were up and coming the last two decades, as we have removed some glass ceilings, though they've faltered a bit as they've increasingly turned conservative.)

I truly refuse to believe that. Asians do well because education is important to them. And, if they're recent immigrants, they most likely come from wealthy educated families in their home country.

In my kids FFx Cty elementary school, (not near McLean or Langley) parents could care less about science fairs or homework since most of them were just getting by or didn't know the language. For many, the school system's job was to teach, not the parents. The dwindling non-poor population was mainly focused on sports.

White men CEOs suffer from imposter syndrome. You can read the research. This only means that white women and POC won’t be hired or promoted. Look at everyone Trump’s fired and tell me what they have in common?

This is so weird. That is already what we do for college except there are essays as well. Is it the essays that you want to do away with. We can get rid of the race and gender boxes as well as far as I am concerned as other countries do not have them.

No, they don't. Only the Ivys and a few others require test scores. There was a girl featured on NPR a few years back who admitted to scoring an 18 on the ACT so didn't submit her score but still got into Emory. Emory's 25th % is at least a 29. If she was close, fine. But she wasn't even close.

Colleges should go back to requiring test scores (all attempts should be submitted). Required essays should be proctored. Race and gender should not be available. And, state colleges should favor state applicants. No bumps for sports or legacy.

It has already helped at key hurdle points in life.

Colleges are going back to requiring test scores, making admission decisions based on quantitative factors such as standardized test scores and GPA instead of a racial check box.

Employers are doing standardized testing as part of the application process since everyone now graduates with a 3.8 or higher because woke universities only give out A and A- grades.

Companies are more productive because less time is being spent on DEI training.

So society as a whole is benefitting from the anti-woke, anti-DEI movement.

What you just wrote is racist and bigoted against working class white men as a group. You are proving that white men are being targeted for their race and gender. You are proving the need to help that specific group with policies that give them a boost just like other racial groups that face discrimination. Well done.

They are all wealthy and bad people who support oligarchy. Also they all have a “slick” and artificial look.
