Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Learning how to get it right | Asif Sadiq | TEDxCroydon

[tomjoad]

Hire and promote based on merit, not race or gender.. it's the only constitutional way

[ryeguy]

Strange how DEI excludes a group of people.

I'm sure your kid's teacher was grateful for being told to spend hours with your little precious, while everyone else can teach themselves. Solipsistic doesn't begin to cover this mess.

[JTStonne]

Diversity and inclusion are not standards but adjectives. Equity is only possible in a Communist society. We are only given opportunity, not outcome. It takes effort to succeed.

I felt physical sickness on my stomach while watching this.

Hire based on merit, not based on the color of someone's skin. That's called fairness.

[Simon-plzi]

My company introduced DEI as part of our ESG strategy early 2022. Within two years, we have managed to increased women in leadership roles to almost 40%, and there are just as many people of color now in the office as white. Ironically, at the same time, staff turnover has increased significantly and the anonymous staff surveys shows overall satisfaction is declining, and bullying has increased. I have seen the company go from being open and friendly to biased and far more segregated. Last year we introduced a new hiring mandate that excludes men, that's right, we can only hire women.

"How can I become something I can't see"
This is so nauseatingly ridiculous. People generally don't have a picture of themselves as successful. It's your job to become successful.

You can't get DEI right without being ethically and morally corrupt

[jimmorris]

Oh look I will talk a bunch of nonsense and pretend I am smart.

[bigpapi]

So your company practices racial discrimination? You openly violate Title Seven of the civil rights act!! You guys are wide open to lawsuits!!😂😂

[uberdonkey]

Let me illustrate what modern ideas of equity are like...
I was an a relationship previously where my wife was physically abusive. One time I woke up with her trying to strangle me (she had mental health issues). Thankfully now I'm in a happy relationship, but do I have the right to try and strangle my wife now, out of equity? No. Why not? Because they are different people.

Equity in modern thinking is trying to redress an injustice to one person, by creating an injustice for a completely different person. Discrimination can only be tackled at source, not by introducing discrimination to completely different people. It's external sinister the route that DEI is taking, .and I'm hoping it is made illegal because it is simply discrimination.

Demagoguery enters at the moment when, for want of a common denominator, the principle of equality degenerates into the principle of identity.

[masscreationbroadcasts]

This felt... Really vague but I'm sure some examples of the way certain regions implemented it and what worked about it will come.

[brocknspectre]

DEI is big business $$$ The one thing it will always need to continue is more bigotry. It can’t afford to succeed.

[trivialgravitas]

Hire a commisar to make your employees worry every second if they will be the next sacrifice to the cause.

[sukiriya]

Seems like all corporate problems are created thanks to Primary and Secondary Education methodologies ?

[pokemongo-uprq]

A DEI department is good to have at a company because its always good to know who to fire first when profits are down.

[ricka]

If diversity and inclusion is so important for liberals, then why do they not encourage Haiti, Mexico, Japan, the Korea's, China, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Egypt, Norway, Sweden, Iraq, Sudan or Nigeria to diversity and be more inclusive in their populations?

[Privateryannnn]

Not that I’m not for the ideals of DEI but it practice it doesn’t make much sense. You cannot legislate inclusion. Competition is inherently exclusionary and is the basis of our species
