Not adopting, who is making these DEI projects?


They are exposed because it was created by OLDER generations for them to see.

Goalpost moving does you no good

Not true, they are being created by different generations in different settings, it's called societal progression for equality and inclusion of 'all' people and persuasions and it's been going on for quite a while now.

It’s actually the soft bigotry of low expectations.
That’s why DEI is dying a slow death, not fast enough imho.

DIE seems more fitting.

Well, you have your opinion but I don't see it going into the DIE stage - ever. It's societal progression and it's what the upcoming generations are adopting, as well as workplaces, and the government. There will be no backpeddling now.

Was this not you?

Actually DEI precedents in government, sports venues, public places, workplaces are being set by people of all generations

The ones creating these ideas are the older generations, as you stated gen X. Gen Z can't create anything, they can barely get through a day of school without needing their safe spaces.

You are truly blind in your bias if you think none of them are.

What generation are the ones setting the DEI precedent in all of the examples you just listed? Is it the ones that haven't even graduated from Hs yet?

What NEW minorities are there? Already asked this once and was ignored

Actually DEI precedents in government, sports venues, public places, workplaces are being set by people of all generations. It's the way of the future so Musk and other intolerant people have already lost that battle.

What EXISTING minorities have always been there and are now coming out of the closet and into the open claiming their equal rights of expression do you mean?

I do not think you are aware of how much you made yourself out to be a bigot in this thread.
And you obviously are one.

I bet you tortured and terrorized your parents through your adolescence and continue to do so till this day.
Did your parents make you move out because you were do disruptive and abusive to others in THEIR household?
I bet that happened.
Your ideology espoused in this thread is one where you cannot wait till white, Christian straight people are minorities so you have the power to teach them all the lessons you have in mind so as to finally get back at your "racist" parents for kicking you out of THEIR house.
Not a doubt in my mind you were an abusive child.
You dishonor your parents so flippant to public ridicule I know this is so.
Not an ounce of respect for them has ever come from you in any thread you participate in.
You are obviously a bigot. You like dei because it will someday allow you to get back at those you feel abused you.
It reeks from your posts in this thread.
You bullied your parents, correct?
Single child? No siblings?
Dei is reverse racism for bigots

Well then it must be news to you that these big corporations pushing that garbage have not only chopped up most of their DEI programs, some have scrapped them all together.

What upcoming generations can expect re: DEI in the workplace.

What may surprise some detractors is that DEI is very important to workers. According to the 2021 Workforce Happiness Index, 78% of workers want employers that value DEI. This gives companies that make good faith efforts to support DEI a competitive advantage.

DEI is crucial for building talented teams of engaged, motivated employees, and organizations with diverse, inclusive teams have an advantage over their less diverse, less inclusive competitors.

DEI initiatives help organizations eliminate (or, at the very least, reduce) policies, practices, and behaviors that are biased. It can help organizations identify seemingly innocuous policies that are unconsciously biased.

Unconscious bias costs US businesses $550 billion annually, a point that is rarely mentioned in the debate over the effectiveness of DEI initiatives, but it’s important to consider that figure as we continue to identify ways to make our organizations more sustainable, more adaptable, and more profitable.

Eliminating bias and discriminatory practices from the selection process can open up recruitment efforts to a wider pool of highly qualified candidates and improve the overall quality of hires. It can also have a positive effect on how potential candidates view the company.

Research found that 86% of millennial women considered diversity and inclusion policies important. As more Gen Z workers enter the workforce, this trend is expected to continue.

ANY DEI program that has been implemented has only ever sought to minoritize straight white men.

Coke, Bud Light, Target, etc. Are all examples of companies going out of there way to cater to everything and everyone and ostracize those that do not "conform" to being "special".

I mean FFS, Coke literally made their white male execs APOLOGIZE for being white and for having "white privilege" (made up bs term).

And there it is! White race annihilation conspiracy theory. Thank you for pointing out the true subject matter of this thread.

Am I the bad guy now for calling out the truth?

When you apply for a job and the header of the application reads "Preferential consideration will be given to applicants of minority groups" What does that say? "White men stay away"

Not a conspiracy theory if it is coming true......but why would anyone admit that

Your truth not reality as I see it, but continue on as your echochamber buddies have yet to chime in to agree with you.

It has been confirmed by PorkChop, yes, DEI plus the white race annihilation as a direct result, no?

Fantastic OP - Beautifuly written and a rare occasion where I'm in 100% agreement with you.

I'm not familiar with DEI but due to massive improvements in tackling discrimination - as we get close to achieving a level playing field such schemes generally result in positive discrimination and 'box ticking' by employers to make sure they make they achieve a diverse workforce/equal opurtunity employer target.

I'm disaled myself (brain injury and uncontrolled severe epilepsy) and find such schemes incredibly patronising and make me feel awkward, de-humanised and reduced to a number. You don't know if you're being hired on your own merit or just because you're a token whatever. If you're being hired as a token you wont get the oppurtinity to climb the career ladder.

If I lived in the US 50 years ago I'd be locked up in an asuylum for life and castrated, 20 years ago it was completely legal to openly discriminate against epileptics as it wasn't considered a disability - the improvemets in rights, treatment and social acceptance ia astonishing and discrimination is pretty much wiped out (less than 1% occurance in the UK

In UK employment/job applications there's a tickbox option to state 'do you consider yourself to have a disability' which is difficult to answer - I don't walk round feeling sorry for myself and only been discriminated against once in 10 years but the employee also deserves to know about my health issues as it can jeapordise workflow and increase risk to other employees.

Personally my 'coping mechanism' is completely taking the piss out of my ''disability'. It's a part of who I am - I'm not afraid of it and feel more comfortable/accepted around people who aren't afraid to take the piss out of it in exactly the same way 'normal people' do to each other - It makes me feel ''human' and accepted but cancel culture is generally banning it from conversations.

I absolutely hate people who have the 'aww diddums, gently pat you on the head' approach as it's incredibly patronising and I've never felt sorry for myself or expected others to - I only want to be hired if I'm the best employee for the job and not given an unfair advantage or reduced to a number; it's unfair on other interviewees and puts the employers production at risk if they have to meet set diversity targets.

Funny thing about "white privilege", is that they got the blacks and whites and men and women arguing amongst themselves about who is more privileged, and meanwhile the 1% are raising prices and making us all even closer to slaves.

Wish people would see who the real enemy is.

Absolutely not, my parents were a product of their time and racist and not free thinkers.

The younger generations have to forge their own DEI path and unlike the older generations their social circle will likely include minorities, so they have the advantage of getting to know people for who they are and not how they are labelled by racists and/or haters or those that are intolerant.

My parents are boomers, they have a diverse social circle. Just because your parents acted like dirt bags doesn't mean all people of the age group act or agree the same. Kind of like your arguments about not all Palestinians are Hamas. Remember how worked up you got about people grouping them all together?

I am a top notch producer.
I come from the trades.
I am a builder, now a farmer.

Nothing you just said translates into actually building something or making something and requires a huge infrastructure investment into a HR dept..
Which has absolutely nothing to do with actual application of a task that would produce something.
I spent my life teachings others how to produce and a work ethic.
Come to work ready to perform was my base task.
Focus and integrity in working with others was key in my teaching in how to carry yourself professionally.
And my trade incorporated the most rogue of rogue workers.
Carpentry. Rough framing.
I have to wonder how anything is going to get done in the future as everyone is becoming soft, unfocused and dumbed down.
Thank goodness for robotics I guess

I shared that info about my parents to make a specific personal point about me, no way was I generalizing about any generation being this or that. Point being that as a free thinker I could decide for myself to be curious enough to find out for myself the character and plight of others' that are different than me and who experience societal discrimination. It was a learning experience I can tell you that.

I repeat, I am all for DEI because it benefits 'all' people in society and provides community and safety. These younger upcoming generations are smarter and will be intellectually and emotionally more mature than any other generation before them. I think it's been a long time coming.
