[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to keep up with this nonsense. So people are actually boycotting Target because they eliminated racist DEI /affirmative action policies?

This is almost as bad as maga maggots nonsense.[/quote]

Yes people are actually choosing not to spend money in a store that went back on their commitment. But the Supreme Court says money is speech so no, it’s not nonsense, it’s a clear non-violent message to Target to do better, and to retailers like Costco that maintaining those programs is financially beneficial.

“maga maggots nonsense” would be if they held a riot.[/quote]

It s[b]ounds like you are ideological and lack critical thinking skills if you actually think that affirmative action isn't discriminatory[/b]. You don't even seem to acknowledge who has been tearing up cities recently. There are ways to become less intellectually lazy, but it has to come from within. [/quote]

LOL, NP here. You may wanna point that finger back at yourself. DEI is not affirmative action. I worked in the field and have first-hand knowledge of it. DEI is very different and has nothing to do with individual hiring or quotes. So, there is someone intellectually lazy or lacking, but it is the person in your mirror. [/quote]

DEI encompasses a lot of different policies (easier to obfuscate what they are really doing or their intentions), no doubt. You are going to tell me that Targets DEI policies didn't include affirmative action? You know damn well that the same people supporting DEI policies are the same ones supporting affirmative action. It simply a rebranding of quotas. Once those became illegal, they pivoted to affirmative action policies, and now it's DEI. But we know they are still trying to achieve the same goal and will do whatever they can get away with legally to achieve it. People who aren't partisan or ideological can't see it for what it is because they lack objectivity.[/quote]

∆ ARE in last sentence  :oops: [/quote]

Yeah. I think you had your position right the first time.

But let’s pretend everything you said is accurate. So what? Money is speech. The people who don’t want to spend money somewhere that backed away from DEI are exercising their first amendment rights. I thought conservatives were all for that?[/quote]
