    DEI would not have prevented these hires, as they resulted from nepotism.

    I believe we are conflating these two issues and failing to recognize why DEI hiring has some positive effects. By requiring employers to diversify their hiring practices, DEI initiatives inadvertently help combat nepotism, an unforeseen benefit of these policies.

      The claim being made by the right is that they have to get rid of DEI to make it more of a meritocracy where people are hired only due to their ability and experience. This clearly shows they give zero shits about a meritocracy.

      The problem is OP assumes that they have any kind of shame or that double standards and cognitive dissonance isn’t just their natural state at this point.

        I’ve always disliked this tactic, claiming that acknowledging one thing means someone doesn’t care about it. While I agree that these people are full of hot air, your comment contributes nothing to the discussion.

    I was recently rewatching old wresting so I got to see the education secretary have a tag team match with her husband and kids. Also saw her pretending to be comatose while her husband made out with a young woman. The same husband that wanted to do a storyline in which he is the father of his daughter’s baby

      “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”, effectively a term for anti-discrimination measures employed by organizations.
