Didn’t take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.

      A handful of people with a whole lot of money are setting national policies. And those people no longer consider climate change a problem, so now you’re not allowed to consider it a problem either.

      Can’t wait for this year’s hurricane season!

    Dropping DEI makes sense. Just hire the best person for the job, regardless of skin color.

      Good thing there’s absolutely no evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people, am I right?

      But do tell me you think a resume by a woman named LaShonda has a chance of being taken as seriously by a white HR manager than a resume by a woman named Mary often enough for this to not be a problem.

        “1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White Men”

        “48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications”

        I have now shown you evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people. I would appreciate if you would not make such a statement in the future.

          What you call racism is actually society pushing back against racism. We would all appreciate it if you stopped supporting bigotry now and forever.

            Telling one to stop hiring individuals based on their race isn’t pushing back against racism, it’s just racism.

      There’s always room for colored workers at the back of the bus or the front of the chain gang. Segregation has been a tool for dividing and conquering the working class, by shoving a minority of the population down and telling everyone else they’re next if they resist.

        Very true, but what I’m saying it’s a chain where it goes from ‘diverse employees are bad’ to ‘white employees in front, black employees in the stockroom’ to ‘white customers get to use the front door, black customers go to the loading dock’ to ‘white customers only.’ And that is the end goal.

          it’s a chain

          There are more than a few spots in my home state of Texas that are functionally “Whites Only” already. Go in there as a poc and you won’t get served. You might not even be allowed through the front door. “Kung Fu Saloon” down in Houston (most diverse city in the country!) has had reputation for not letting brown people in for years.

          The DEI shit is about inflaming the white nationalists who think even their little pockets of outright segregation aren’t enough. We’re approaching the idea that any place which isn’t “whites only” is somehow stealing something from a white person.
