[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many affluent liberal whites claim to be fine with those programs because they are engaging in afirmó of self-preservation and/or do not actually believe that the programs will in any way diminish the socioeconomic status they enjoy.  But for many white managers, I tend to think it’s a means of self-preservation, such as, if I stay publicly and loudly my support for these efforts, I will be safe.[/quote]

Support for these programs tends to be performative all around.

There really is a pseudo religious aspect to this where we are all expected to proclaim that we will do ever more to further DE&I, and that we will exhort everyone we know to do the same, and that we are "allies" of key identity groups, and that we will fly flags and put signs in our front yards indicating our support, and that we will examine every conscious thought for any hint of bias... before continuing on to examine our unconscious where bias must surely lurk.

The fundamental problem is that if "bias" were keeping qualified diverse candidates out of jobs, out of universities, etc, what you would expect to see would be highly qualified diverse candidates who weren't being hired despite their objective strength.   Is that what we are actually seeing?  [/quote]

Inflation has a way of squashing this pseudo religion.

Agree. We lost a war, inflation is up, and COVID cases are rising. But, let's push for more DE&I religious training. Great priorities.
