This is typical fascism. Was Hitler a member of the Aryan race? Blue eyed, blond hair? Nope. Dude wasn’t even German. Were any of his cadre? Nope.
Kim Jong Un reportedly doesn’t need to use the bathroom because he is so perfect.
Trump is cracking down on illegal immigrants. Married an illegal immigrant. He’s against chain migration. Melania chain migrated her family. Calls Biden sleepy Joe, then falls asleep during his trial. Says voting by mail is rampant with fraud. Votes by mail. None of this makes any sense!
That’s the funny thing: they don’t.
Hypocrisy is written all over their souls… If they have any, that is.
Idk who Drumpf is but DEI, as another commenter stated, has nothing to do with non-white people in general. Marrying a non-white person does not make them in favor of DEI.
Many Chinese and Indian Americans are against DEI because they work so hard to raise their children to get into the top schools from birth then view their chances hurt by DEI. I’m less knowledgeable about Indian Americans but I can confidently say many Chinese Americans are more educated and even right wing than white Americans. You want to hear some insane politics go talk to an Irvine Chinese American.
TLDR: DEI/=Minority Minority/=liberal
Drumpf is Trump’s original family name.
Even John Oliver himself said that joke’s tired now.
That’s fine but it’s disingenuous to say one has no idea what the OP is talking about.
DEI during hiring is things like:
- Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
- Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities
DEI during employment is things like:
- continuing unconscious bias training
- educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
- encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results
DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):
- A slur for non-white male presenting people
- A diversity hire
- A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word
Strictly speaking, DEI absolutely does NOT cover all “minority” hires. DEI is when we say, “We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors.” I really doubt they married their wives for the sake of diversity. So they’re nit DEI.
I wouldn’t say DEI generally means
We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors
That sounds more like quotas or affirmative action taken to the literal extreme, since those programs typically include other factors as well.
DEI is more about respecting the value that diversity brings to a team and making sure you have an environment that allows for all sorts of people to be included and welcome.
That said, totally agree that Melania Trump and Usha Vance aren’t “DEI wives.” It is certainly hypocritical that they embody immigration stories and Melania in particular may be illegal. But I don’t think anyone in the current regime is concerned one bit about consistency in ideology, it’s really just whatever they can get away with that leads to more power.
regardless of all other factors
Yea that’s not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.
Now it depends whether you mean actual DEI or the nonsense that companies do in the name of DEI or the unfortunate overreaction that some people support related to DEI due to the resistance to actual, reasonable, sensible DEI.
“… regardless of all other factors…” sounds like the second of these.
Genuine curiosity here- where did you get your definition of DEI?
Honestly it’s easy to get that definition of DEI when it is poorly explained and/or poorly understood.
Plenty of people particularly on the right believe all the explanatory reasoning behind DEI is thinly-veiled “reverse racism”.
I understand that many people have an incorrect understanding of DEI (and at times have had experience with it being incorrectly applied). I was actually hoping to learn where this particular person learned their viewpoint to have a conversation.
