How dare they move to a merit based hiring practice

Listen, I know I'm shouting into the wind, but I'm going to do it anyway. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is about making sure under-qualified white dudes don't get hired in place of qualified minorities. You know it, and I know it. If you want to keep saying otherwise to make yourself feel better, just remember that pushing other people down just makes you both feel shitty.

It has been mathematically proven to be the opposite; Asians, and to a lesser extent, whites, are penalized in DEI hiring practices, and many of the big companies openly admit this

The absence of privilege can feel like oppression.

Empty buzzwords. It’s time to move past all that woke crap and treat people equally in a race-blind way, especially when it comes to jobs, college admissions, and politics

Hey, we agree on that. But it doesn't work that way right now, and it won't without changes to the established systems of oppression and privilege. If you think those things don't exist, and don't necessitate lifting up the poor and folks who are at a disadvantage, then you are one of the privileged ones who benefit from the current system.

Edit to clarify. I don't agree we need to move past "woke crap". I do agree I'd like to live in a world where rece isn't an issue.

These approaches to oppression and privilege treat a poor white Kentuckian and a rich white Ivy League grad the same way.
