I echoed OP's comments and tried to follow their reasoning. =="For [Justice Thomas], white benevolence denies black people the pride of achievement.....= How is this related to DEI? "As CUNA board chair, Smith had appointed a Diversity and Inclusion Ad Hoc Working Group and tasked its members with looking at the issue. In February, he wrote that their findings and his 40 years in the credit union movement told him the time had come to “officially recognize diversity and inclusion as part of the credit union philosophy.” ==Right, but why?

And today, our mission continues to be to provide opportunity and access for all." And the future community is one that will include more minorities. Almost all growth in the U.S. population is coming from Hispanics, blacks, Asians and other minorities. The Census Bureau forecasts that non-Hispanic whites will be a minority of those ages 18 to 28 by 2028, and a minority of the total U.S. population by 2045. “If we want to be more relevant to the communities we’re trying to serve, then focusing on becoming more diverse in our workforces really does matter,” Hansing said.” [1] [1] https://www.cutimes.com/2019/10/11/diversity-and-inclusion-t... |
