Did you guys notice on that clip of Fox news showing DEI meanings, that they spelled "Insidious" as "INVIDIOUS"?

Boeing's doors don't fall off because of diversity. They fall off because the company has been cutting corners and focusing on profit instead of engineering.

I was invited to join my company’s DEI committee. We had a committee this week. All light skin people and one trans woman. It’s a lot of people patting themselves on the back for performative actions.

If DEI means "Didn't Earn It" then that makes every host on every FOX show a DEI hire.

[grblkiniaq]

Fox will probably explain why “Invidious” was misspelled on a DEI hire.

When I was in the military, I had to work with people from all walks of life and from all sectors of America. Diversity Training was a critical element for guiding us to work together, no matter our original zip code, our accent, our vernacular, our color, our height, or our gender. Military readiness depended on it. I cannot comment on corporate issues, but in the military it was very important.

As a white person who grew up in rural areas, I wasn't around many black people so I don't understand that community. Most of the minorities I was around were Latino's. I'm trying to learn more about other minorities. My niece grew up in a metropolitan area and does better with all minorities. I'm 62. It's hard to change at my age but I'm trying.

DEI is like when you get bullied at school and your mom calls the kids parents and then the bully just gets worse.

My experience with DEI training as a white Canadian is spending way too long learning which department/manager I should go to/be reported to if someone's feelings get hurt. If they're going to spend 8 hours teaching a room full of adults how not to be jerks to each other, I wish they'd spend more time on interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, and de-escalation. Instead, It's all about escalation. 😢

As a Black Autistic person on the DEI board at my job, the REAL problem with DEI is that it has become another euphemism for "Black People, " that's the problem. The problems I have at work have more to do with my Autism than it does with my Blackness. But if I say that then I get the classic Autistic gaslighting, I don't really understand what's going on. Either DEI is about Diversity for all, Equity for all and Inclusion for all, then it is just another bunch of nonsense used to get people fighting amongst each other instead of fixing the actual problem as it comes to race. If you want to know what that is, here is where you start.

Can you define a term by using the term in the definition? What are the definitions of the racial groups in America? What does the term "Black Racial Groups of Africa" mean?

Have fun with that rabbit hole.

When you make racism the centerpiece, even if you’re saying, it’s a bad thing, You still make it a centerpiece.

'The more right wing media is freaking out, the more progress we're making.' And yet the entire segment showed right wing media freaking out about the DEI policies that Charlemagne acknowledges have not led to actual progress, and might have actually made things worse.

[nemo-studios]

Progress should not be measured on how offended others are but upon the fruits of the changes made

[dmani]

Charla being on the daily show is wild

[tylerhackner]

Tangible progress is made by actually having concrete plans to improve communities lives

When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.

I'm going to remember that: "Not worried about a black pilot crashing the plane, I'm worried about getting pulled over". Classic dude!!

[theicyridge]

"It's just corporate PR!"
Spot on.
I would love waaaay more actual diversity, equity, and inclusion, but how are we going to get it if the diverse working-class that needs to be included is getting perpetually shafted instead?

[andreadushanek]

My exact feelings on DEI! It really is the D.A.R.E. equivalent to equality.
