If you hate the PATRIOT act...etc. Look, titles of things have no bearings on what they actually are. This post is just group masturbation.

I oppose not hiring air traffic controllers because of their race, especially when the towers are already understaffed. But I guess a few deaths is worth it, am I right?

Did you know that you can give whatever name you want to something? Even a name that isn't an accurate description of what it is? I was shocked when I found out!

I don't believe in "Equity", I believe in "Equality". The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don't just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

I oppose the existing "DEI" as it exists today because it's openly racist. It's openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

People don't have a problem saying they oppose dei or the full phrase and will happily explain that they do not like workplace policy designed around diversity equity and inclusion.

Dei is absolutely something that should be considered but the right managed to absolutely annihilate it with their fake news propaganda campaign. When its brought back it needs to be packaged different. I think having every corporation parrot the phrase over and over doesn't not help.

Hey! I have a story on this to tell, which I will make as anonymous as possible:

Someone I know in an administrative position is in the middle of dealing with an employee who is suddenly refusing to do annual DEI training, claiming that it is against their religious beliefs. They were brought in and given a chance to defend that. Asked what specifically about DEI went against their beliefs. They started spouting a bunch of Fox News crap.

It was pointed out to them that DEI means things like making sure disabled people can get over a raised doorway. The employee said they were fine with that, but went into a whole "gay marriage is sinful" sort of rant. They were told they don't have to agree with such things, just respect them at work. And they said that was great and one of the things they loved about working there.

Basically, it turned out that they had zero issues with any of the actual DEI policies. They literally objected to those three letters being used.

I'm sorry to say that their answer will be something along the lines of "I ain't workin' with no n****s or f**s!". We should stop trying to assume that fascists hold themselves to the same moral standards as normal people. These are people who only abstain from using racial and homophobic slurs for fear of legal trouble. They no longer have to fear that.

Are you sure it's not Democrats, Education and Immigrants?

Probably why they latch on to “woke” to and they never fully explain what’s so woke about the subject

I've seen the Right's answer to DEI.

They deny that there is/was inequality so they claim that pushing equality gives an unfair advantage.

They say that any perceived inequality is the lack in the sum of experience and expertise.

They say that forced inclusion is unfair on the meritocracy of others.

They also tend to think that racism and sexism are overblown because they are incapable of believing (or it is otherwise too inconvenient for them to believe) that other people actually have problems if they don't themselves experience them.

Two kinds of people: the heterosexual white man and the diversity hire
