    I don’t believe in “Equity”, I believe in “Equality”. The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don’t just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

    I oppose the existing “DEI” as it exists today because it’s openly racist. It’s openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

      I can make that shorter for you for next time:

      I don’t understand DEI at all

        The real world is calling, wants you to come back to it some time. Plenty of examples in this EXACT thread where people detail DEI hiring someone because of their skin color.

        That’s racism.

        Sure, it’s the racist that YOU deem acceptable, but it’s still racist.

          I’d rather just imagine I know what DEI is than learn

          FTFY

            Grow up. Putting words in my mouth isn’t a discussion, it’s childishness.

              I’m just paraphrasing what you said, simple as

              You straight up lied in your comment, it’s very clear you have no idea what DEI is nor do you care, you just want to whine like a typical cuckservative

        How about they just pay for seats? The stands clearly are accommodating for everyone. And it isn’t ‘equity’ either.

        This graphic has been used for too long because of its emotional aspect. Equality is them buying seats and watching the game without boxes at all. In itself, it’s a fallacy because they clearly have accommodations for all of them, and they’ve decided to stand behind a fence.

        And, since WHEN do skin colors need special accommodations ANYWAYS?

        Dividing people by skin color is the first way the corporate elite divide our nation - so that we fight amongst ourselves against the real discrimination, class-based discrimination.

          This misses the point. It could be a baseball stadium, a tree with apples, etc. It doesn’t fucking matter what the goal is or how accommodating the stadium is due to the whim of artist filling the seats with blotches of color. None of that is the point.

          The only explicitly shown resources available for the characters is 3 boxes. That’s it. And the correct utilization of those 3 boxes is 0 for the blue shirt, 1 for the red shirt, and two for the purple shirt. Any other utilization is a failure for the goal of everyone seeing the game.

          This graphic has been used for too long

          And despite that it’s meaning is still lost on you.

          because of its emotional aspect.

          What emotional aspect?

          Equality is them buying seats and watching the game without boxes at all.

          No, equality is giving everyone equal resources and pretending that there aren’t earlier prerequisites that aren’t equal, with an end result of not everyone getting an equal end result. Equality is materially worse than equity, and leaves society worse off. You’ve fundamentally missed the point.

          they clearly have accommodations for all of them, and they’ve decided to stand behind a fence.

          Now you’re just making shit up. There is no story telling you that. It’s a cartoon depicting the allocation of resources and its effects.

          And, since WHEN do skin colors need special accommodations ANYWAYS?

          This is a strawman.
