| I did read the articles. As far as checking sources, one of yours is a political advocacy organization that explicitly acts and lobbies against DEI. As a former newsroom employee, I am well aware that there is no such thing as an unbiased news department. I had never heard of City Journal, but the article was so clearly written from a biased perspective that I clicked through to the main page and was hit with the Soros lead story. Same with the Washington Examiner, never heard of it, but the "top stories" sidebar shows a VERY clear bias. Personally, I am happy to accept that there are specific instances and anecdotes where DEI and progressive policies have been overzealous or enforced in a way that disadvantages white men and others who explicitly and loudly reject it. I'm also willing to acknowledge that there is overwhelming, and far more plentiful, data that support the arguments of systemic racism. I believe DEI as a concept is a good thing that occasionally goes wrong, much like literally any system applied on a large scale. Patents are good, patent trolls are bad. The ADA is good, ADA trolls are bad. DEI is good, using it as a political hiring filter is bad. |
