[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are not a lot of cuddly and friendly corporations. We’d all do well to rely on them less. Buying secondhand is great. Facebook marketplace is great for decor and furniture. Thrift stores, vintage, etc. - the pieces are more durable and interesting. Target and wayfair are cheap crap.

[b]Whatever you feel about this DEI backlash, btw, it’s absolutely lame that all these companies are bending to politics when they should instead rely on research to drive their policies. [/b][/quote]

OP here.  This is how I feel.  Target’s program to promote black-owned shampoo companies (for example) was never at the expense of other companies, it just enhanced their visibility in a market that leans heavily towards white hair.  No white hair products were going away, but Target’s policy made it easier for black hair products to even exist.  It cost nothing to the consumer, so it’s not like it was discriminatory.  I am white, by the way.  I honestly don’t understand how a company that says, ”We value all people and are going to offer products for everybody” is so triggering.
