  Dude is so thick that he used an example of a time when he was a minority within his department and discriminated against as a way to argue that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against minorities.

  Like bro. Do you not understand that this scenario is insanely more common for racial and ethnic minorities to encounter in our society at large and that’s why we have DEI programs to begin with?

    It’s common for conservatives in majority groups to have the sort of experience that could imbue empathy for minorities and instead use it to argue for cracking down against them

      I quite agree, but it doesn’t reduce the irony even an iota

    Literally no part of this is arguing that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against minorities.

    DEI is discriminating against majorities. Anything other than merit as a consideration is discrimination.

      Pretty sure you’re too old to be this stupid, dude.

  Invidious?

  invidious adjective °Envious; causing or arising from envy. °Enviable; desirable.

  Maybe he meant “insidious”?

  he’s so eloquent, I clearly understood how he was innocent of whatever they said he was guilty of.

  Upvote this comment if you think it’s okay to discriminate against white people.

    Surely nobody can be that dumb?

      It was upvoted at first but then went negative. I have to say it’s a relief that people aren’t yet willing to embrace that position openly.

  Either OOP has somehow missed all the statistics about non-white people being underrepresented (media bubble?), or they think all white people are naturally more qualified.

  I will relish the day someone like this gives me the opportunity to point that out to them.

    Oh jeez I wonder if those two possibilities interact with each other. Fortunately universities in my state aren’t allowed to research such things anymore

      I mean, yes. In reality it might well be that there’s not many good black CEO candidates because they’re still stuck in poverty somewhere. Really, DEI would have to start in early childhood education if you want to keep it fair at every stage.

      There’s no way I’m diving immediately into nuance with a guy like we’re talking about, though. Lol!

  The way I know anti-DEI sentiments are inherently racist no matter how they spin it is because they seem to forget DEI literally also covers white people. Especially for ivy league university selection. They’re either so far up their own ass they completely forgot about that (until it comes back to bite them in said ass) or they don’t care because they know and are secure in the fact that anti-DEI is pro-whiteness and will be enacted as such.

  Comcast just has to show the FCC a breakdown of average bandwidth by race and they’ll back off. All broadband companies have been playing racial favoritism since long before it was cool.

  Can we just not discriminate based on race?

  source

  • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I assume you mean DEI and not the drug enforcement agency, which is infamously bad. And the FCC has broad powers over broadcasters. That said this definitely feels like a reach of power. Like, this feels like the sort of thing I wouldn’t think they have the internal skill base to do.

      The executive branch has exploded in power. Ever since the start of the cold war it has slowly become more and more powerful. Everyone from Bush to Obama has pushed the limits.

  I can’t wait for my employer to get in trouble for me being an engineer instead of some cishet white guy who can’t do algebra.
