Rural white Americans also benefit from DEI initiatives. A ‘merit based’ system would exclude them.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson

California has the nation’s highest housing costs. Some blame a housing shortage; others, government policies. We sit down with experts to explore what’s driving costs and discuss the state-mandated Housing Development initiative and why some cities push back.

As someone who has led state government agencies providing funding to public schools and social service entities in Indiana, I can verify this. This is called Targeted Universalism. It’s why D.E.I. is important for everyone, not just racial minorities (which white population will be very soon).

As a white person, fully accept these consequences . See the difference

Just to clarify, DEI doesn’t mean the candidate isn’t 100% qualified. DEI doesn’t equal unqualified; as some would suggest. Employees should be hired based on qualifications being met. DEI programs ensure employers look at all candidates and not EXCLUDE based on race, gender, etc

Actually THEY DON'T, but who cares if they're excluded--Merit Based is the law.

We know. I’ve been debating a troll here about DEI applying to veterans as well. They just shoot themselves in the foot. Also, wyt women were big beneficiaries.

Sounds good to me. Time for people to face the consequences of their actions.

Liberals will keep failing as long as they continue to think skin color matters to anyone.

Clarifying DEI vs. Economic Development Initiatives Let's get something straight: DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) isn't about addressing past discrimination or economic needs. It focuses on representation based on arbitrary criteria like race, religion, and sexual orientation. But, programs that support economically disadvantaged groups are not DEI. These are separate initiatives aimed at economic upliftment, not the same as DEI policies. Consider Thomas Jefferson High School in Fairfax County, VA. Liberals were seemingly upset because high-achieving Asians were outperforming others. So, what did they do? They implemented DEI policies. The result? Fewer high-achieving Asians got in, and guess which group saw an increase in admissions? Whites. Yes, under the guise of DEI, it's the whites who benefited, particularly if they fit into certain favored categories like being LGBQT. According to a U.S. Department of the Treasury report cited by Financial Planner Los Angeles, in 2014, married gay men had an average household income of $176,000, which was 56% higher than that of married straight couples. A 2019 study further confirmed this trend. DEI isn't about leveling the playing field; it can be gamed by those already in positions of advantage, turning what was meant for inclusion into a tool for exclusion. #DEI #EconomicDevelopment #Education #FairfaxCounty #ThomasJeffersonHighSchool

Yes. DEI helps everyone. But interestingly, DEI initiatives benefit white women (#1) and white male CEOs (#2) the most; black Americans benefit the least. Source: US Dept. of Labor
