    ‘Diversity hire’ is the old derogatory term that implies someone is unqualified and only hired because of their skin color or genitals, so they already openly hate diversity.

    They don’t know what equity means. They probably think it means equality, and they hate that too because in their minds equality requires giving up their relative standing in society.

    They hate inclusion because they hate diversity.

    The meme is though provoking for someone who already understands the concepts and is useful for bringing awareness to 3rd parties who are otherwise apathetic. It won’t make the person who is put on the spot reconsider their opinion, but that’s because they are morons who fell for the anti-DEI propaganda.

    I think qualified people should be hired. May the best person for the job be hired, without even considering race, or anything other than skill. DEI is veiled discrimination.

      I don’t think you understand what DEI is or how it works if you feel that it is discriminatory.

      It just exists to make sure that people are given a fair shake not that anyone gets an automatic leg up.

      DEI programs are what let the best person for the job be hired. Without them people are discarded simply because of their name or race or etc etc.

      If you truly want the best person for the job to be hired you support DEI initiatives because that’s the whole idea and point of it.
