    It stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    It’s essentially another way to treat minorities more fairly, so (American) conservatives want to get rid of it

      It’s essentially another way to treat minorities more fairly

      On paper.

      In practice, it’s more bureaucratic wall papering and cya, intended to obscure industry practices that continue to almost exclusively promote through nepotism and political graft.

      Access to government contracts and Senate seats and Ivy League fraternities and Wall Street bank management positions continues to be a White Boys Only club.

      It’s basically preferential hiring based on skin color, gender, or sexuality, i.e. affirmative action on steroids.

      Meaning you’re not allowed to hire the most competent person for the job, but instead, you have to hire someone based on unchangeable characteristics. In other words, it’s the woke way to be racist and sexist, but it a “good” way (i.e. against straight white males).
