I think it’s very easy to say people dislike the notion you said cause it goes against DEI (the e stands for equality btw), like it’s such an easy scapegoat.

People just don’t wanna put the work in, or aren’t able to put the work in cause they are busy surviving day to day, y’know, putting food on the table. Cause that is not a given for everyone.



> DEI (the e stands for equality btw),

According to whom? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity%2C_equity%2C_and_inc...


I know I didn’t make it easy to catch, but I think you may have misread me.

I wasn’t referring to “DEI” as in the corpo-state initiative but the concepts themselves as they’re received independent of how they’re packaged in the acronym; in a political context.

In this way, I think to call it “scapegoating” would do a disservice to a legitimate social conflict.

I agree with your final observation in general, but what’s your point?
