What cultures do you think prioritize the truth?
That’s not to say that some, not all, of DEI implementations aren’t stoopid, but it is just absolutely not what’s going on at Boeing.
And also, you didn’t answer what the truth seeking cultures are if not the educated liberal democracies.
Let’s agree to disagree on what my prior answer contains.
The other Ideology is DEI usually being a pet project in corporate, more there to use for PR than to enact real change. HR will always reserve the right to fuck you over with all means available, and if that includes your race, gender or religion, they'll happily use that. This is a good extreme example: https://fandomwire.com/transgender-former-bethesda-employee-...
The “woke” or DEI mindset is as far as I can tell, in origin basically about acknowledging that.
Then all sorts of things, including social media pressures, combined with grievance and resentment have led people really far astray in their attempts to “make things right”.
So I understand the visceral reaction the words can cause for some people, and partly agree.
However, the underlying observation is true, and if one for example were looking for a candidate and would, inspired by this observation, spend extra effort to advertise to certain groups, then that would be a pretty sensible DEI implementation.
Any sort of relaxed standards or claims that math is racist or something is bad however. Racial or gender quotas are also dangerous, if they’re used it needs to be very careful and temporary.
I do feel that while this sort of stupid stuff obviously happens, is discriminatory and very bad, and should be stopped, it is probably being blown out of proportion as part of a bigger political fight.
