Your feelings about this answer to why DEI doesn't work

"I get it, it comes up in my management and education degrees. Systems create cycles of executive function -and parameters within the habits, understandings etc to serve the premises of those executive functions- to replicate those same systems. Including ideological systems, which become compounded when those ideological systems are created to justify the closed systems of ignorance inherent to the limits of your cognitive systems."

Is it just me, or is this a word salad to obscure meaning. Or am I just dumb?

No, you’re not dumb. And based upon results, the racism in this administration is their rush to assume that the mere presence of a person of color in a position of power is evidence of DEI programs in action. They don’t even bother to verify the person’s qualifications—they decide he/she wasn’t qualified to be there. 🤨

@bijouxbroussard White people get it backwards. DEI doesn't hire people because they are a minority, it just makes sure that people don't get the job just because they are white.

Case in point my wife and I work in the same area, which is only about 40% WASP. Her work was 95% white men, while my work more fairly represented the demographich. My work had DEI, hers did not.

@JimboSaturn We already know that left to their own devices, most industries here would be "white only"— because that’s what they did. Right down to our military with segregated troops.
