The left is fighting for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in all aspects of public and private hiring.  They then demand DEI training for all employees to create understanding and acceptance of a 'diverse' workforce.

This is not a new concept.  We used to call this "Affirmative Action," which has been deemed discrimination and illegal according to SCOTUS as it applies to college admissions policies.

With all this attention given to race and other "minority" categories, one would think the Left would celebrate the acknowledgement that a Presidential candidate is a DEI hire, right?

Wrong!  The Left says calling Harris a DEI candidate is an insult.  It assumes she was hired for her DEI qualifications alone.

That's been the whole argument against Affirmative Action hiring practices for decades.  The same immutable characteristics that can get you hired or promoted ahead of White male counterparts can also stigmatize you as only being hired or promoted for those characteristics -- not that you are better qualified for the job.

As with most of these programs, it embodies the Left's ideology that minorities need help to achieve what the majority achieves without the same help -- i.e. the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Is it just an assumption that Harris was chosen, not because she was the best of the candidates Biden could choose from, but because of her gender and/or ethnicity?

it's hilarious to me to see the Left stepping all over themselves.

Diversity,  Equity and Inclusion is a good thing is it not?

Our diversity makes us stronger.

When was the last time you guys won a war that wasn't against your own citizens?

please show me where anyone said they are against diversity specifically...

Diversity,  Equity and Inclusion is a good thing is it not?

Our diversity makes us stronger.

Diversity,  Equity and Inclusion is a good thing is it not?

Our diversity makes us stronger.

When diversity means race or gender, you're totally wrong.

i can see why you're all for diversity in hiring.  It might be your only qualification.

DEI programs in the Secret Service (30x30) almost got Trump killed, got a Female director fired, and hopefully will cause more changes in security detail personnel without that "diversity" BS.


Column: What if diversity isn’t America’s strength?

Sen. Lindsey Graham says he scolded the president for saying something scatological
about certain countries and their immigrants. “Diversity has always been our strength,”
he allegedly said. By my count, this makes Graham the bazillionth person to proclaim
some variant of “diversity is strength.”

Is it true? I think the only close to right answer is, “it depends.” Specifically, it depends
on what — often clichéd — analogy you have in mind. Diverse stock portfolios are more
resilient. Diverse diets are healthier. But that doesn’t mean picking bad stocks will make
you richer or that eating spoiled foods is good for you.

I once heard Jesse Jackson explain that racial integration of the NBA made it stronger and
better. He was right. But would gender integration of the NBA have the same effect? Would
diversifying professional basketball by height? Probably not.

If you want a stronger NATION, then we need a weaker GOVERNMENT.  Look around the world and throughout history.  The stronger government becomes, the weaker the collective citizens become. 

Maybe this is their plan.  Diversity hires who won't rock the boat, because they could have never achieved that position in government on their own.

Qualification over DEI every day, all the way, and twice on Sunday.

DEI is the reason our country and this world is in the sh*thole it is in today.

Work for what you want.  Screw what you think you are entitled to.

These people are calling the GOP weird.

Oh well, at least we're not nuts.

The left doesn't like losing, so they change the meaning of things. DEI is just another example of they stating it's an insult to refer to someone as a DEI hire or like.
