A couple of things about DEI … stop calling it DEI because
the acronym says nothing about it. Calling it Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
so when people say they’re against it you know they mean they hate diversity,
equity and inclusion. And then explain to them exactly what it is they’re against
because I guarantee many of them don’t know; they think it’s just about hiring
white people … straight white people … Christian straight white people … but it’s
more than that, it’s …
Learn it and explain it to people who don’t understand … especially
those who think DEI caused a plane and a helicopter to crash over the Potomac. |

Your post explains it all so clearly and emphasises what is likely to be lost. It's tragic.
ReplyDeletePeople on the right think DEI is giving people of color preference over white people.
DeletePS The governor of Texa s signed a bill ending DEI in his state ... he did so from his wheelchair having gained access to the capital through the use of ramps!
I great post, because these idiots as we know, judge the book by the cover, not never see the bigger picture. I said it once and I'll say it again.... they have just no idea what is about to hit them.
ReplyDeleteDiversity means all kinds of people
DeleteEquity means treating all those people the same
Inclusion is making everyone feel accepted and wanted.
It's not rocket science.
Good post!
ReplyDeleteDEI covers a lot more than people think ...
DeleteAccessible design makes the world more accessible to everyone, including those with physical challenges.
ReplyDeleteCarlos uses a lot of DEI ... ramps on sidewalks to cross streets; the pebbled edges to corners to guide him up to the sidewalk. Traffic lights that tell you when to cross and how long you have before the light changes.
DeleteThanks! Too many cultists think DEI only stands for black and Latino people.
ReplyDeleteThat's cuz they're racist!
DeleteAnd stupid.
Great job. So you mean it doesn’t cause plane crashes?
ReplyDeleteGetting rid of the FAA leader and trying to force air traffic controllers out of their jobs leads to plane crashes. But the right would rather blame people of color, women and The Gays!
DeleteYeah...Like many other things, the MAGAts don't really understand, do they? The Douche idiots trying to scrub gov websites have screwed up all kinds of things with AI looking for those particular words and replacing them.
ReplyDeleteThe stupid. It burns.
Delete🤗👏 There are all kinds of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion examples that are in front of us and can be used to help both adults and children learn. Yesterday was the 21st annual Puppy Bowl. Even "DEI" haters were watching with their kids and every few seconds people were chuckling and saying, "awww!" Well, one of the puppies was using wheels on its hindquarters and it was just as cute and happy and energetic as the other puppies! I can't imagine that there were parents screaming at their kids to hate that puppy; that such a a puppy has no right to be out there getting in the way of the puppies who are not disabled!! Come on parents (except Kristi Noem), you know your kids also know little Susie or Jayvon or Pedro down the block who are happy kids despite accommodations they employ (or color, ethnicity, or religion, etc.) Kids adapt and advance and love openly...adults need to stay out of their way!! ✊️🥰
ReplyDeleteKids are taught to hate by their bigoted ignorant toothless cousin-fucking parents.

The more you know ....

Good post Bob. I agree, ignorance of the scope of DEI is definitely a problem. To be honest, I personally was somewhat clueless too about some of these items on your list.
ReplyDeleteHaving a neuro-diverse daughter and grandson has taught me a lot, but I still have much to learn. The point is, I'm willing to do so, those who stand against DEI won't learn until it impacts them in some way.
Only if it impacts them! But they will still rail against people of color, and women, and trans folks and The Gays not being allowed the same chances.
DeleteThe stupid MAGAts think that destroying any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will keep the Colored, the Queer and the Little Women in their place: under their thumb. What they do not realize is that they'll be shooting themselves in the foot because sooner or later they'll NEED DEI. Just look at West Virginia...
ReplyDeleteXOXO
And when they shoot themselves in the foot they will be grateful for a wheelchair ramp, the dumb bastards!

Thanks for explaining the full scope of DEI as I had assumed it was an "affirmative action" policy governing employment in federal, state and municipal workplaces, but it's so much more!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people think it's hiring unqualified people of color over white people, when it's NOT hiring white people simply because of their color ... and then ramps and seat belt extenders and urb cuts and so much more.
DeleteThat is such a good point about DEI. Just saying the three words to someone could make them think. If you wanted to press the point, ask them which they are against? They are immediately on the back foot.
