  I actually wrote a blog post on Lemmy here but the main reason I’m against DEI is it makes the average minority at a company worse compared to their white male peers, which is a horrible situation that breeds further racism.

    “Racist people use DEI as an excuse to be racist therefore DEI is bad.”

    They could look at her and potentially think “DEI hire,” or they could not think about her at all because she wasn’t hired due to her racial background. What bass-ackwards logic.

        That’s not how I read it at all. You’re so close to figuring out why POCs need DEI. You GF can’t get a job without DEI because of racism. Regardless of her skill or experience. DEI forces employers to look beyond skin colour.

        Are you aware of, like, all of American history?

    So you think everyone should act in accordance with how while male peers think or act in a way that makes them not think “DEI Hire”.

    I have news for you: those people will find excuses to exclude POC regardless of DEI
