Media should stop saying just "DEI"
It dilutes its true meaning. Media should sharpen the message to indicate the fascists are against "diversity, equity and inclusion"! They are against equality.

The opposite of diversity is sameness.
The opposite of equity is inequity.
The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.

If DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) is bad, then sameness, inequity and exclusion must be good. So we might ask, do you really want sameness, inequity and exclusion?

No you ****ing dolts, life should be a meritocracy. It doesn't always work that way in reality, but it is a hell of a lot better than denying qualified candidates because they don't fill the quotas that "Didn't Earn It" prescribes.

I was wondering what happened to him. He was a good match to work with Elon Musk. They were like like the dynamic duo. :thatsright:

I agree. The media should call it what it really is "Illegal DEI anti White bigotry and racism."
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yup. Imagine their rage at reality for not bending to their halucinations.

It makes me smile.

Scott Bessent, Ric Grenell, and Tammy Bruce are all part of the Trump #47 administration and are gay/lesbian. Those are approved DEI folk, according to the woketard left.

It dilutes its true meaning.

I realize this is a DUmmie, and therefore an idiot, but still... DEI is about hiring a person based on their skin color, gender, etc INSTEAD of them being the most qualified for the job. Think of it this way... You're trapped in a fire. It's a bad fire with a lot of debris between you and survival. When the fire department gets there, do you want them send in someone based on the color of their skin or someone who is qualified and experienced in such fire fighting and rescues?

Only someone with intelligence lower than a single-celled organism would opt of the DEI hire.

As I posted in another thread, when I had a brain tumor, several decades ago, I did not care about the ethnicity of the neurosurgeon who surgically removed it.

Ditto when my wife had a brain tumor.

Ditto for my child's vertebral osteomyelitis, another child's chemo for LCH, and too many other medical problems through the decades. Medical treatments require knowledge and skill. Pilots need knowledge and skill. ATCs need knowledge and skill. Firefighters need knowledge and skill. Yada, yada, yada. IRL, several of the doctors, dentists, and therapists who have worked with and treated myself and members of my family have been, variously, women, men, Hispanics, Whites, Jewish, East Asian, black, and South Asian ... that I am aware of. All I cared and care about is that they know what they are doing and are good at it. No Arctic Penguins, though.

That's most likely because you're sane and not a complete idiot. I would be the same way. It's just hard for me to understand people who put a skincolor (or whatever else) above actual merit.

I will say this for the LPC Noob's "demand". If the MSM would stop with the stoooopid euphemisms and call the sewage what it it, Racism, that would be a huge improvement.

 :rotf:
I think we all have those instances and are all guilty of that to a degree. For instance, the door to my office is right off of the living room. On Friday, my wife told me I needed to fill out the application for my business license renewal and that she was putting it on my desk. Since she told me that, I’ve went into my office at least 3 times with the intent to fill out that application. Each time something sidetracks me and I don’t think of the application again until after I’ve sat back down in the living room.

The difference between us and the DUmmies is that the one thing that they seem to be willing to diligently work at is reaching “pro” status when it comes being a complete and total idiots. Which, maybe that is kind of, sort of, a good thing because it shows that they are willing to work at something. Of course, most of us would prefer them to work at supportting themselves instead of being parasitic leeches, but I suppose if they did that and began acting somewhat normal then we would lose a group that serves as both hilarious entertainment and good examples of shit people.

How about the more accurate "quota system"?  Or "soft bigotry of low expectations"?

It started slowly, with "Affirmative Action", but as Americans slowly started to realize that it was just racial discrimination with different targets, the Prog racists have had to change euphemism-smokescreens every few years.

They just can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that DEI is, at its core, discriminatory.  And it goes beyond that by acting like the damaged parties are somehow deserving of being discriminated against for various nebulous reasons.

So, let's make it so simple that even a DUmmy can understand it.

If a huge corporation had a very significant high-level position open and the CEO of the company came out publicly stating that only white males would be considered for that position, almost everyone would find that to be discriminatory.  And the backlash against that corporation would be immense.  And batches of civil suits would be filed and won.

But, when the President of the US employs DEI and publicly states that only black female candidates would be considered for an opening on the Supreme Court the left doesn't see that as discriminatory.  Because...reasons.

And (politics aside) no matter how good, or bad, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson performs, she will always be known as a token black female.  How exactly is that supposed to improve racial relations in America?  What's the end game?  Is there some level of parity that can be achieved that would satisfy the left?  Do we need to push for more DEI in organizations such as the NBA, because supposedly diversity is this magic wand that automatically makes businesses better?  Or maybe the best players, regardless of their color, should play in the NBA.  And maybe companies should throw all this DEI BS into the trash bin and just hire the best candidates also.  But you can't say that because equality is now a dirty word.

But at least Trump is trying to balance diversity with meritocracy.  For example, one of his most trusted advisors, Elon Musk, is an African-American.
