So that led to some resentment. Because it wasn't about talent, but only race. Which I get from the black perspective. It's like, duh, welcome to the last 450 years. But it is 2025, and the sense is merit is a better way to do things than race-based hiring preferences.

And people go primal when it comes to livelihoods and their ability to feed their families. So I'm not surprised there was a huge shift among white, asian, and Hispanic men toward Republicans in the last election. Democrats aren't their party. Race-based hiring was garbage in 1825,1925, and 2025. So people will gravitate to organizations and companies that value talent, regardless of racial or ethnic background. And there are tons of great black professionals. But when people get prioritized for things they can't do anything about - race, gender, ethnicity - there's going to be a reaction among the unchosen people.

That's a sweeping assumption that tells me 1) like most people, you don't understand what DEI means (to be fair, there are probably hiring managers who don't either and think it means some kind of vague quota system) 2)you really don't have specific facts to back that up, and it's mostly about people mistaking their feelings for reality.

From a January Forbes article:

Before DEI, a person’s career success (hiring, placement, portfolio projects, raises and promotions) might not have anything to do with merit. You could solely—and immediately—be included or excluded in the candidate pool based on nothing more than your gender, race, ethnicity, age, looks, friendships, family money, etc.

DEI has been designed and put in place to prevent this when possible. But even with DEI in place, it’s too often the case that meritless considerations are used to help people get ahead in life and in their careers. By meritless, I mean circumstances that have nothing to do with performance, knowledge, skills, abilities or education such as who you know, who they know, political affiliations, family legacy programs, beauty and attractiveness, transactional power plays, etc.

DEI isn’t about quotas. This is what people get wrong. DEI is not about putting unqualified people in jobs or hiring individuals because of gender, ethnicity, race, age, sexual preference, etc. It’s about hiring individuals—because they are highly qualified—regardless of their gender, ethnicity, race, age, sexual preference, etc. And, it’s about doing so with the knowledge that many people have historically been marginalized and disregarded as suitable job candidates precisely because of these factors.

Trump's administration is a very good example of a meritless system.

Stock market is doing awesome. Everything is great. No complaints.

That’s nice. I’m looking forward to bigots like you being ostracized by your kids and dying alone in a nursing home.

Extremely hateful thing to say to someone just because I don't enjoy your Maoist indoctrination program.

This thread has been done multiple times. Do a search. In the meantime, what do you think you're achieving here?

What do you think? Looking for real examples of how people’s lives have improved now that DEI and Woke are out of their way. It’s a simple question. Yet no one can answer.

Well for one thing, it helped take power from the DNC. So that's a win-win right there.

Military bases are being renamed back to what they were before. Your whole outlook of grievance politics based on 200 year old colonialism has been undermined.

The trans nonsense in the military has been KO'd. Reflecting upon it, democrats chose poorly and it's coming back to haunt them. Bigly.

It also has you opening threads about it. So, I guess you should tell us how it has disturbed you, your ideology and your forward progress on artificial grievances for 0.1% of the population that lead to monetary concessions.


Your turn.

Since when are Hispanics not considered minorities alongside black people? This post is a strange attempt at fitting in with a group that Hispanics have never been part of.

Everyone is assigned a number and submits the above. Minimum acceptable grades and scores are posted on the college website prior to application submission dates. No legacy, no sports bumps.

At least if you're accepted, no one will think you slept your way in there.
