The Imaginary "Death" of DEI on Campus

[DGS49]

It's not about DEI. It's about racism and college leaders bowing to Republicans. | Opinion

House Bill 4 is a relentless Republican attack on diversity in higher education in Kentucky - one of the least diverse states in the union.

Before or after reading this Opinion piece, I invite our correspondents to ponder the following question:

Can you even imagine a Black person or woman being the victim of discrimination because of their race or gender on an American campus?

The answer is an obvious and emphatic, "No."

The reason why this question is relevant is that DEI was invented because harmful discrimination had been eradicated. There were no more complaints of racial discrimination on campus (other than obviously frivolous ones), so it was necessary to invent some other way for the Grievance Industry to ply their trade.

Opposing DEI is NOT advocating for racial discrimination; it is asking for an end to it. Take RACE out of the discussion. Don't even keep track of it. Take it off the application forms.

Race is government compliance with the ADA and anti-discrimination act. Yes, if protections were not there, they would discriminate just as they have done before. That is why the law is in place.

When Lee surrendered his dirtbag army at Appomattox, America became color blind.
Would you like to be a Black woman in this country?

Another grumpy old white man who thinks he understands life as a black person better than a black person.

Why don't you guys tell me what DEI policies in companies actually do, how they are used, lets see if anyone has a clue.

Hiring and recruitment, employee development, employee promotions, pay equity, accountability and metrics and branding. In summary, it places unqualified individuals in positions who are over-paid, underqualified and selected over well-qualified individuals in the name of equitable outcomes -- just like we saw in the Biden administration.

Wrong. All it is, is a way of ensuring minorities get the same opportunities, that minorities get considered for interviews. They still have to be qualified and pass the interview. Historically minorities often got filtered out before the interview stage.

Ask any HR manager, don't rely on grumpy old white supremacists.

DEI should be allowed on college campuses as it's the only place minorities and 'others' will ever experience it. The real world isn't so accommodating.

There are many venues where DEI initiatives can be appropriate. Consider the selection of professional sports team coaches and such. Excepting hockey, of course. Go ahead and bend the rules to make the coaching staff reflect the demographics of the roster. Who cares? It's all trivial anyway. But in positions where competence and qualifications matter...? No thanks.

Anti-discrimination laws and policies are all over the place, and are still valid and enforceable. If a qualified Black man applies for a position as a professor of history, and is passed over in favor of someone with lesser credentials, he can still file a complaint with more than one department or agency, and he can get a hearing and get satisfaction. DEI programs are not necessary or appropriate in cases where qualifications matter.

DEI is based on Radical Left racial hatred, prejudice, and stereotyping.

Yawn .. minorities have the same equality when applying for opportunities .. minorities have also benefited from receiving roles they aren't qualified for in the name of equitable outcomes over the last 4+ years. What do you have against merit based opportunities regardless of race instead of DEI where individuals didn't earn it?

Of course everything you said is common sense. Only cult like people would disagree.

The saddest ones of all are these older Democrats/never Trumper. They never had to put up with DEI in their life. Never. So they go around on a moral high horse not giving a damn about people who have been turned away from jobs because they’re white. Or the fact that white men have to score higher on an SAT in order to get preferential access to universities compared to blacks.

Obviously none of this has anything to do with Black people. It’s the government fault. And a lot of that is left-wing white radicals putting these DEI policies into our lives.

The only counter that the radical left has is to talk about slavery and Jim Crow and America. That argument is entirely misplaced because of the fact that slavery and bigotry were worldwide not unique to America. There it is.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Part of DEI is lowering hiring standards for minorities. Lowering the SAT threshold for minorities. That is racism, hands-down. Also the other part is when a company enforces a racial hiring quota. Which is just dumb. Instead of going for merit, they forced themselves to have a certain percentage of each group. ….and it’s been shown that some companies have actually turned away more qualified white men in order to fill the quota. I have seen lefties deny that this exists or they support it, which makes them racist. Often lefties play stupid and they deny it even though they know it exists it’s been shown to them 1000 times.

Again, the only response the left-wing ever has to this is to complain about slavery and Jim Crow in America. But again slavery and bigotry were worldwide issues not unique to America. The left just goes against logic and history.

But you thought that a career criminal with dozens of felony convictions should be POTUS. You`re dismissed.

What felony convictions were politically motivated to force Trump out of his candidacy? Tell me genius.
