I considered joining the DEI in my company as a way of infiltration but then I realized I would change zero minds and may get in trouble for pushing “white supremacy”. But I agree with you.
The one problem I have with this article is that it makes it seem like merely an effort by Democrats to cement their control over tech. That's true but it's not the full picture.
These tech companies are by and large woke as hell already. Regulation like this is a potential way to stifle competition because the cost of the lawyers, "equity auditors" and paying a "$20,000 a day" fine for any oversights is pocket change for Google but big bucks for a startup or smaller company.
It should come as no surprise that Google supported the GDPR even though they've since been fined millions multiple times for violating it. They'll probably embrace this too and even have a hand in writing it.
A while back Google had to give a pay raise to white males because women whined about unfairness and they looked into it and found the women were overpaid.
The real problem is that it sounds like a good thing. See, this fixed unfairness even for white dudes!
And it might be a good thing if the available talent and real world was otherwise equal - but it's not. If 12% of software engineers were black and they were just as talented, there'd be no good reason not to have about 12% in a large company, but really it's more like 1% are qualified.
This is what they always do, they go backward from result to cause, picking racism/sexism always as the cause without proof or despite contrary evidence. Large companies have 1% black engineers is the result, the cause 'must be' racism when actually it's just that's how many qualified persons are available to hire.
Like how Trump said "you'll get paid as much if you do as good a job" (paraphrased I think), the focus of these campaigns needs to be shifted to "you need to hire as many X as are good at the job" or something like that that adds back the missing component of merit.
And there needs to be some catch phrase to mock it, like "trickle back equity" or something.
Their idea is that if you force companies to hire at demographic levels, then colleges will graduate that many to meet the demand, then high schools will teach AP computer science to that many, then that many will choose to study.
Every step of that is retarded. Large companies will just hire the unqualified, whether they have a degree or not, and have them work on bullshit. Colleges will just graduate any shmuck, high schools won't care about skill because colleges won't care, and the kids won't go into tech because instead of being a respected career they'd just be a joke to everybody else because 99% of them will be totally unqualified.
That is a good point that I mirror. Giant companies are all in favor of diversity and crap, for one they are to big to fail and they can easily claim diversity when you have a large part of the company in India.
I would not be surprised if the company I work for is more then half Indians.
Small companies can't afford diversity hires, this was a problem with startups from leftists.
I mean that affirmative action hires tend to be very lazy and underperformed. I speak from experience here.
Small companies can't afford to have screwups from the start.
Recently this happened to a company in my city. They started hiring lots of women. They ended up cutting 70% of their employees a year later just to stay afloat.
I happen to know a girl that works there, the other girls were so used to having guys do their work or at least help them out that they just could not do the work. They were also complaining that people were mean and this never happens in larger companies :))
Before joining the Biden Justice Department, Gupta led the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a nonprofit that has called for tech companies to "reduce online activities and disinformation" that harm minority groups. The conference commissioned a report by Murphy on "Key Elements of a Civil Rights Audit." That report received input from powerful liberal groups, including the ACLU, Color of Change, Human Rights Campaign, NAACP, SEIU, and Voto Latino.
Color of Change is one of the most prominent members of Democracy Alliance, a network largely funded by Democratic megadonor George Soros. It also partners with two other Soros-funded groups, SOC Investment Group and the SEIU, to pressure public companies to comply with audits.
Women and Indians are the 2 major beneficiaries. Diversity in US is have 50% of the company being not white or asian, they do not need to get blacks. Indians is the fastest way to get diversity status and they are already some of the most racist people. Indians will always side with other Indians and have no moral problem in discriminating in their favor.
Women ofc will want half of everything :)) as they always do.
Indians are some of the most racist people I've met. They have no moral problems in discriminating against non-Indians and they will always choose other Indians for promotions or awards.
They are extremely obvious about it but they pretend they are not. Kind of reminds me of Drow society.
DEI is just the American version of a CCP office in each company, change my mind.

The entire ESG movement was created by Bolsheviks, Saudis and the CCP. Change my mind.

It’s not just affording the hires, it is affording compliance with the regulations. Leftists use regulation as a means of stifling competition.

Female President.
A female elf?
Don't you start that garbage. People finally stopped talking about that show.
And I'm pretty sure she's black, so no.
It's weird how the organization that would have protected from the vax mandates was given to a feminist just at the right time.
A dark elf!?
Ah, so a golem.

So they want lousy employees? Call me crazy but I would think that getting the best people should take precedence
