[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]

You are. But it’s nothing new. Even before DEI was a thing, black managers faced the same assumptions and prejudice. A lot of whites just don’t believe that a black person in a management position is qualified. It’s racism. DEI is just the new excuse for it.[/quote]

+1 I wonder why nobody thinks this when leadership is overwhelmingly White. Discrimination in favor of White people is okay in many people's minds because they just believe White people are better, more qualified, etc.[/quote]
