[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You are right. DEI is worse than affirmative action since DEI expands on the AA. [/quote]

DP. DEI benefitted white women most. Sadly, for all women. [/quote]

And disabled people.[/quote]

And veterans.[/quote]
My local Target is one of the few places (maybe the only one) with special parking spaces for wounded veterans — spaces that were added long after the regular handicapped parking spaces. They should paint over them now and let anyone park there since they’re no longer into DEI. It was performative anyway. Those spaces were almost always empty.[/quote]

Or maybe redo them as regular handicapped parking spaces so that a wider range of people who need them can access them.  [/quote]

No, DEIA includes accessibility, ie handicap spots. Paint over those too[/quote]
