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?

Sounds like pretentious bollocks to me.

DEI absolutely can work if applied correctly whilst maintaining a meritocracy. The idea should be that somebody shouldn't be excluded because of a protected characteristic, not that they should be hired because of it. The idea is also to do more to reach those with protected characteristics who may be or feel excluded from the talent pool due to the historical or stereotypical demographic of a given role or industry.

@ostfuidctyvm I agree 100%. The idea that people are hired only because of a protected characteristic is in itself and unciousious bias.
