[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thread on this has been eye-opening.

I'm beginning to see how Trump won. He's a voice for the marginalized and straight white dudes now see themselves that way due to overzealous DEI practices.

I find some DEI practices a bit too restrictive. We had a female employee give notice and to maintain a "good ratio" on our team, my supervisor said the new hire had to be a woman. So boobs > qualifications, cool. [/quote]

Mock men, and particularly cisgender white males, for believing the premise of the NYT article if you want.

But then consider the well-established facts which might lead these men to conclude they are being marginalized:

For example, read this Bloomberg article:

“The year after Black Lives Matter protests, the S&P 100 added more than 300,000 jobs — 94% went to people of color.”

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-black-lives-matter-equal-opportunity-corporate-diversity/

Think about that:  94%.

You cannot deny the facts.

dp. did you look into the types of jobs that are part of that 94%?  You sure those aren't "black jobs", as Trump says.[/quote]
Oh, I got by the blocker now. Yes, those were corp jobs.

But, let's be honest... even the website says that minorities are under represented in the corporate world.

From that site:

[quote]White people still hold a disproportionate share of the top, highly paid jobs in the US at S&P 100 companies. But the share of executive, managerial and professional roles held by people of color increased by about 2 percentage points compared with 2020 — more than double the average annual gains at big and mid-sized US companies in previous years.[/quote]
  
Wow, a whole 2%.  Yep, white men are being marginalized.  :roll:

Minorities were excluded from top corporate jobs for the longest time.  The white "good old boys network" ensured that.  This is part of the reason why Asian Americans tend towards STEM jobs because there's less of  that and more of "what do you know".

If we didn't have a DEI push, how would minorities or even women ever break into the top echelons of business?  I seriously doubt the good old boys network would accommodate them on their own selfless self.[/quote]
