I can see that. Definitely a pick your battles situation. My company pushes DIE big time and they have voluntary discussions. I wonder if they could handle polite disagreements
Me being me, I wouldn't very polite (but I would definitely recommend that others be).
So some guy once said that "we want diversity because we want people with different life experiences".
I thought later on that I should have burst in with a question of: how do you know this 'diversity' automatically means different life experiences? Or: so... how many redheads are there, because they have had different life experiences like being bullied in school. Or: would that include people with bad body odor? They sure have different experiences?
If they ever bring up transgenderism, I'd point to my beard and ask if they would consider me female.
I've honest had it up to here with this nonsense, but the good thing is that we don't have that 'internalized racism' crap here (yet).
That hasn’t appears at my job as of yet. Hopefully it doesn’t but I have asked people to really consider the absurdity of assuming something is good simply because it is diverse
I've found that people who waver realize the issue when it's their hide on the line. So they don't care about 'university admissions' in the abstract, but hiring pilots for reasons of diversity, or surgeons.
No, no, it's supposed to hurt other people. Not me! DO IT TO JULIA!
And the crazy thing is that I have relatives who support affirmative action but get mad that there is a perception that a black person didn’t earn their promotion or is only a diversity hire. Or lowering standards on tests. I try to point out this is precisely why the perception exists. They don’t see the connection.
I think Sowell pushed back once on lefties who wanted to do away with background checks because they said it was racist. It actually made things worse.
