They are. The reality is qualified people are DENIED employment because of race, sexual orientation, disability, and so on. The presumption that anyone who is not straight and white is inferior in the workplace disgusts me, but evidently not you.

@@Dr_JSH DEI reduces the quality of minority resumes as employers realize the applicant very likely received preferential treatment in acquiring the stated "qualifications". Just another reason why discrimination of any kind is morally wrong as well as ineffective and a poor business model..

@@oilsmokejones3452 Based upon his unstinting admiration of the EEOC, it would not surprise me to find out that Dr_J earns his paycheck as a federal employee, I. e., feeds at the bottomless federal trough. In addition, I’m gon’ say that he, like Bernie, AOC, Biden, et al, claim that “the big corporations” are greedy to a fault. Then I’m going to ask him, If the “big corporations” are so very greedy, how can it be that they are not hiring these so-called superlative, superior than white, workers, superior simply by “virtue” of the fact that their skin is shadier and standard testing places them at a severe disadvantage vis a vis Caucasians applying for the same position. Why would greedy corporations hire the less productive white people when so much talent is readily identified and easily by Dr_S because he uses divination, not aptitude scores to tell risk/reward individuals how best to employ their own wealth?

@@Dr_JSH Dr _J, I’d love to know how many disabled, minority, LGBTQ+, those with a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor FGFR3, or those with three copies of chromosome 21. Because you can hire all of those you like and see how long you stay in business in your chosen profession. No problem qualifying any member of those sects, just lower the standards so that all of them meet the qualifications, just like Harvard and Berkeley and Oberlin. Please let us know. Or you just a risk-averse academic, sitting in one of the oft-described ivory towers, one who has never had to make payroll in economically hard times, hat in hand to get a bank to try and tied you over until conditions improve?

I'm guessing that you were horrible at both American history and civics back in your school days -- amirite?

It will after chervon decision being overturned

Yep especially with chervon being overturned let's go

@@AweZumAliceReturnz Yup!

You realize the House ran by the Republicans currently is one of the most unproductive in US history right? Haha

You mean MTG not AOC you 🤡

The reason we have the EEOC is your libertarian approach failed by burrowing inequality, bigotry, resentment, income disparity, and accepted violence deeper into society over time.

Yeah, let's just ignored the centuries of pretty harsh anti-DEI that stripped away a lot of culture and self-belief, eh Einstein?

@@melodymatters what does” culture and self-belief “ have to do with being qualified to do anything 🤷‍♂️

What work exactly? Wasting taxpayer money on hearings instead of getting bills passed through one of the most unproductive houses in US history? Keep up the great work I guess haha

DEI is the new N-word. Used to be 'affirmative action.' followed by ...are taking our [fill in the blank of anything certain people feel is their privileged right]. Every now and then 'CRT' fills in as N-word too. There are always new acronyms. That's full scope of any conversation you would have.

But is obviously NOT colorblind ( 1:19:28). Nor is the 14th Amendment. "Equal" means brining marginalized people up to the privilege and opportunities enjoyed by the majority. To stop employment discrimination against Blacks means hiring more qualified Blacks, which obviously means hiring fewer qualified white people. Colorblindness in the law is a lie.

Wikipedia is literally just modified by anybody who wants to modify it. Just because somebody has an opinion does not make it a fact.

Give thinking a chance. Trump's administration was packed with misfits and crooks. How many Cabinet members came and went throughout "Our Long National Nightmare"? How many other executive-branch employees? How many in Trump's White House were fired for criminal or unethical behavior (gambling addiction and debt, domestic violence, etc.) yet were re-hired?

Don't tell us, DEI is the reason you're not a tenured English professor at an Ivy League school! 🤣🤣

Good old Harry. He found stuff in the Constitution that wasn’t ever there. He saw penumbras like Justice Black. Emanations too. That’s why his abortion emanation was justly overturned. “Though he handled affirmative action, civil liberties, immigrants’ rights, and commercial speech, his term was most noted for his decision regarding abortion. He continued to support the ruling, refusing to retire until the precedent was safe, which included decisions that furthered the case’s precedent, the election of President Bill Clinton, and the confirmation of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Blackmun retired from the Court at age 85 in 1994, and passed away five years later, remaining a symbol for one of the nation’s most controversial issues.”

Um lol maybe but also our proxy war with Russia also has a little something to do with it as we used to get rides back and forth from them….😅

I don’t know if that is true but I’m going to believe it as if it were gospel.

@@GeoPeppersBiden admin and Boris Johnson told Ukraine not to have peace talks that Russia wanted . The Biden Administration are war mongers. Millions with die due to the Biden administration.

Blame DEI for climate change too while you're at it

Discrimination has been outlawed in our country for a long time. The issue is that companies have been violating that law and not being indicted for it, because DEI-supporting attorney's general and prosecutors let the cases go in their support for the agenda. It's still breaking the law, whether you like it or not.
