[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why did you title the post "DEI and blaming feedback on racism"? Why not just "blaming feedback on racism"

[b]Is it because you view the black middle managers as there because of DEI? That is indicative to me of an issue[/b].[/quote]

But that’s the problem with DEI being part of hiring decisions. [/quote]

+1. Seriously people need to get real - it necessarily follows from having DEI and affirmative action policies that people will [b]assume/question that DEI or affirmative action is part of the reason a minority is hired or admitted or whatever. [/b]I’m Black and am sick of liberals pretending like these policies don’t have an awful stigma/downside for us supposed “beneficiaries.” [/quote]

This is definitely happening. I’m fairly liberal and understand DEI. However recently joined a company with diverse managers and the first thought that went through my head is how most are unqualified and it must be DEI. I guess I’m racist but if I’m a white mostly liberal woman thinking this I can’t be the only one. [/quote]

Well then you're dumb. Do you know how many unqualified white people I work with? People get hired and move up for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with race but sure..
. Let. confirmation bias to drive your racial bias[/quote]

I think most of us don't have a lot of data points to draw on and we generalize from that limited data. How many supervisors will most of us have in a lifetime? I've worked for white men and women and black women. Those who were made managers (supervisors) based on something other than actual experience, e.g., DEI, attrition, nepotism, friends with leadership, incumbent in position made supervisory, etc., didn't have much of anything to draw on when new, even basic, situations emerged. Almost all of those "green" managers responded to additional stress by becoming anxious and mean. At this point, when I consider a new role, I look at the manager's experience and the manager's personality. [/quote]
