| > I also find it suspect that equity or inclusion are "political," The way you say "suspect" seems like an attempt to sway opinion, which seems like a tacit admission that that the terms are political. For instance, inclusion of who? What groups do you divide the world's people into such that you need one of every group for proper representation? > Logistically speaking, it makes zero sense to hire an anti-diversity advocate for a DEI role. I think most people can do jobs they don't agree with. An engineer can design a bridge that they didn't vote for, an administrator can follow rules they wouldn't have chosen, etc. > Companies only have DEI teams because they want to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion; How should you do that though? Is any diversity of thought allowed? For instance, is anyone allowed to think that affirmative action is ultimately harmful and focus on the diversity and inclusion over "equity", and/or argue for what they feel are more helpful methods? Is DEI defined as a specific set of practices or a general goal of bettering society? |
