[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK MAGA, tell us how your life has improved now that you can be outwardly racist and misogynistic and you’ve put LGBTQ in their place? I want real life examples, not hypotheticals like bathrooms in some other county or school system that has nothing to do with you. Real examples of how you (or your white DH) have gotten ahead in your career, your kid has excelled in sports, etc. now that others can be decremented against again.[/quote]I'm a Democrat but I'm glad DEI is gone because at its worst, it requires discrimination and elevates lesser qualified people as a means of retribution against those deemed too far ahead.  And at best, it is little more than performative virtue signaling.  It never helped anyone except a handful of "the most marginalized" and progressives who loved to wield it as a cudgel against normalcy.[/quote]

This is false, has always been false.  Lesser-qualified people were never elevated over superiorly qualified individuals strictly on the basis of race or gender etc.  What DEI did is it took EQUALLY qualified people and then compared the applicants to the demographics and if one of the equally qualified applicants was from an underrepresented demographic, gave them more of a shot at the job to make the workforce actually look more like real American demographics.

That's "unqualified people got the job because of their race/gender/etc" crap is a made-up narrative from disgruntled mediocre white dudes.[/quote]

Let me guess: you don’t work in a large private employer? [/quote]
