Rural Community Assistance Corporation based in CA is one of these organizations. I worked for them and they hired a "DEI" consulting firm (lol I know) to go through all of our departments to assess and see if we were "diverse" enough as an organization. I asked how they were making these determinations, and it was by names... My father was adopted and I am half Arabic but my name is as white as they come, and I was labeled a "white guy..." so many flaws in this logic it is insane. They then forced us to attend DEI meetings where they crammed socialist and LGBT rhetoric down our throat. They are given almost unlimited State and Federal funding which is used for this propaganda... its abhorrent.
Agreed. One thing they won’t do is define “white” and define “woman”. Also, ask the DEI people why there are so few Asians. Watch them have a meltdown.
This like the half White Half Lebanese guy who was called about an interview. He said that he could read between the lines that they though he was African American. Probably because of his name Jamal Kareem Harris. Even funnier is that he looks more “white” because his Arab family is very light skinned. Irony is that depending on the classification source, Arab, Persian etc can be classified as White.

Thank you for Speaking the truth. This is exactly how my employer treats its employees that don’t go along with this BS. I work for the State of Oregon. It’s bad here. I work at the mental hospital and they expect employees to call men women, I won’t do it. And here in Oregon they are a protected class. We even have doctors that are supposed to be taking care of people that have mental illness that have pronouns. Doctors that will address patients not by their biological sex, but by their gender dysphoria sex. It’s truly sad. So everyone vote and vote RED LETS TAKE AMERICAN BACK.
So like people were saying in the FORTIES you think that members of the LGBT+ community have a mental disease. And if it bothers you so much then just like I don't know... quite. Heaven forbid you use pronouns , Cori want food Cori hates damned Libtards. And you doxed yourself good job 🤡🤡
My company’s DEI emails are automatically forwarded to the trash. Because no matter how much they want to adhere to leftard politics, we are already massively diverse. I honestly never have been apart of or seen a more diverse company than the one I’m at now. It’s just mind boggling that we still bother
It’s baffling how much companies spend on this crap. How come basketball teams don’t have to follow DEI guidelines? Or railroad workers. Shouldn’t that split be 50/50 too?
This is a stupid analogy. Basketball is a physical sport. This DEI is for knowledge related work. Would DEI apply for white men in Microsoft? Go to Redmond or South Lake Union in Seattle, 80% of the people you’ll see are Indians and Chinese.
@@OneDropEast1988 It is not a stupid analogy. Why knowledge related work should be subject to DEI and physical not? You should talk to Railey Grimes, the swimmer, how DEI worked out for her.
@@Tamara-qd5dc I've always associated DEI with non-physical careers and I've never thought of DEI in physical jobs until now. But your basketball analogy is absurd, some people just can't jump as high as black people. Are there enough non-black people to try and fight for DEI in NBA? Do you see the picture? I'll give you an analogy to try to show you're absurdity; How come plumbing companies don't have to follow DEI guidelines?, how come women aren't flocking to become plumbers with all the money that they earn?
Diversity: of skin color, sexual orientation, etc. Not of thought. Equity: forced redistribution to achieve equal outcomes, regardless of merit or effort Inclusion: speech codes, thought police and "safe spaces" so everyone has to walk on eggshells around people just looking for a reason to be angry & offended
Don't get me started. After I graduated college, I went to work for a well known company who had instituted "Affirmative Action" in a major way. Most of my coworkers were 10 to 15 yrs older than me, and most had no post secondary education. There was a wide range of abilities - some were great at what they did, some were average, and some made me wonder how they ever got the job. The 3rd group was a real drag on the productivity of the organization at every level because they were either apathetic, chronically lazy and/or missing whenever you needed them, or just difficult to deal with. I was one of the youngest in the department and I tried to learn as much as I could. I kept to myself and tried to avoid having to deal with Group #3. Fast forward to 2022 (my 35th yr in the corporate world. I've been working at a different (major) company for just over 20 yrs. Approximately 5 yrs ago this new wave of "Diversity hires" started trickling into my workplace. It's like deja vu all over again but this time around it's much worse because of the ATTITUDE that these people exhibit. Even more frustrating is that the hands of management are tied because these people are "fire proof" and they will complain and litigate in a NY minute if they dislike their job or perceive they are being forced to do any more than they feel like doing. Meanwhile, those who are capable are being pressured to do more and it's often to clean up what was not done correctly (or at all) by those who were hired just because... I am SO glad I don't have to work much longer!
Your presentation was biased and fairly disingenuous. To pretend that there aren't structural inequalities in, for instance, American society, is mind boggling, given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You've been too selective and presented only the cons of DEI. What do you think the pros are of trying to campaign for a fairer more inclusive society? Perhaps, to you, there are none? I'm baffled.
To keep his license in the medical field a close relative had to take one of these classes and was so furious for being labeled a racist after 20 years of treating every patient with the utmost respect simply because he's white. He said his Hispanic teammates were just as resentful. .
It is because race is a social construct so yes he is racist if he is considered white. The system was a hierarchy. If a person admits they're black they are saying they are lesser than and that is never the case. I hope this clears up your doubt. If not please understand the history of race which was given by the foreigners -europeans to non-whites the indigenous that were here including my family.
@@PeacocknRose You are obviously posting here fighting to keep your D.E.I job relevant. You are the real racist. Everything should be merit based. Anything less is just encouraging vitcimhood like yourself.
@@urzmontst.george6314 Repeated every year to be allowed to continue practicing. Although the tide of DEI is turning as the discrimination accompanying it is successfully litigated and companies begin paying out large settlements to its victims, we now have the greatest example of DEI at work in the news daily. The CEO of a large public organization explicitly stated that he was going to break all EEO laws and exclude all candidates for an important position except black females. A person was given this job based solely on her skin color and gender. Although she didn't do a good job with her assigned tasks, this lady was given a promotion based on her gender and race and is now being told to apply that same identity discrimination mindset against someone based on their religion. This is something she should have no problem doing since she was the benefactor of such identity discrimination. Meet border czar Kamala Harris who will NOT be choosing Jewish PA Governor Shapiro as her running mate.
I had an interesting discussion with an African American Air Force Senior Master Sargent about discrimination in the Military. By his admission, he grew up in a family that told him if he worked hard, he would succeed so he did so every day. I asked him if he ever experienced discrimination and he told me the only people who ever discouraged him were members of his own race who felt his hard work was making them look bad. Of course that same attitude was also seen in other minority communities where an individual was excelling while members of their race were trying to hold them back.
That’s an exception and not the rule. And he was truly blind about the racism he really experienced being in anything that is majority non black if you’re black!
Thats pretty much it in a nutshell and the leftist ideology- sour grapes, envy, the haves vs the have nots (REGARDLESS of how the haves came to be) its a cult and at its core is jealousy
I'm in a land far, far away that doesn't have much of this DEI at all. However, some US multinats here are pushing it. The locals are quite confused as they didnt realise there was such a problem (note: there isnt). However some of the younger, more impressionable locals have taken to it and that's worrying.
Excellent video. In addition to everything noted, it also has dropped my respect for top management in most (not all) big companies. It shows how mindless and foolish they can be, following whatever new fads blow through culture, without regard for its truth or even its effects on productivity and company culture. In short, they are weak phonies, all the way up to the CEO.
They are completely disconnected from the rest. They're in a big club and we're not in it. No matter the system, there will always be a class of "elites" who are completely disconnected from the rest of society and think they're above it all, almost like they're not humans at all but something "greater"
No one is whining . This is about teling people aware of the discriminatory action that is actually taking place. It will cause division in the workplace. And designed in it verbage ,that if you say wait a minute ,why isn't the white man included, because then you will be a racist. The DEI is a blackrock program.
I don't know about the last part. They aren't calling you racist because you're racist. They're calling you racist because they are trying to use it to put a road block in your way. Telling them you're not doesn't really matter because it's not an honest accusation in the first place.
Agreed, and there is no way to convince them. We are "damned if we do" and "damned if we don't", even according to this video. It is all about the argument itself for these narcissists. In my opinion, the better solution is to not engage, and separate into like minded people as much as possible. I'm not sure how this will play out in real life though.
Yes, this entire charade starts with a word, racism, redefined to allow them to claim they cannot be racist, because they are not a member of a majority group with power. They are so deluded to believe that they are incapable of being guilty of practicing racism while they do it in real time against you. The purpose of their tactic, is to put a white person who doesn't realize they are a benefactor of a racist system on defense, go ahead and try to prove a negative is what they want you to do. Proving that you're NOT a bigot, white supremacist, racist, misogynist, is basically impossible for anyone, and they know that. They want you to reply "But I have black friends or I dated a minority person" Now you're expressing white fragility, and they can use that hammer on you too.
@@njfilly8705 Denying and being neutral is not enough. Not only are you not racist, but they are racist for allowing or supporting the DEI in the first place. DEI concept is racist and so is anyone who supports it. The real truth.
DEI is a grown up version of " L:ook what you made me do and its YOUR fault I failed" These people are exploiting laziness, sloth and real skin privilege
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
I am going to post this on my work chat board. I work for extremely large media access provider. They provided management material on how to rebuttal and target anyone who speaks against DEI as "White Fragility".
This is a great video that clearly explains everything in a way that's easy to understand & doesn't lose your interest due to over complicated explanations! It's straight to the point & not too long at all. Thanx
Oh no. Prager missed the real reason companies adopt dei. If you don't adopt these policies your esg scores go down, and the value of your stock and credit scores take a huge hit.
If you have the DEI department you are dividing your work force and training the to be whining unproductive losers. You are teaching the people who they're trying to help learned helplessness. Then they stop learning. Then they stop leading and producing innovation that is the key to keeping up with competitors.
It’s good to call this out, and I see in the comments that some companies are complicit in the perpetuation of this issue. I’m pleased to say that my company does not have a DEI office or department, and we hire based on qualifications and best fit (not race, or any other irrelevant measure). So there is hope.
Not hiring the most qualified applicant sounds like an excellent way to screw over your own company. Good job, let me know how that works out for ya. 😂
As a stock market investor, as soon as I see that DEI crap in the company documents, I'm out of there... I will not help fund that anti-American process no matter how profitable they may appear
I am not from USA and i didn’t know about DEI BS until few years ago when we had zoom meeting at work with new DEI department representatives. After few minutes my blood started to boil from all the disgusting racism. I was not alone! And for now this department is the most hated department at my organization. Race/Sex or any other discrimination or even consideration have no place in my World! And this is only one example what is terribly wrong it USA.
This DEI stuff is everywhere and the absolute taproot of it is envy. People want other people's stuff, plain and simple. And they're using this crap to achieve it.
You don't just have to be socially/politically conservative or right-wing to be an actual racist. You also don't just to be racially White to be an actual racist.
Brown person here. Never been a victim and yet I’ve found MORE opportunity in areas where ppl are white and conservative than where they are “progressive and inclusive”. Why? Because I don’t have to walk on eggshells, I can be myself. I don’t have to worry about conforming to things that make no sense like a click. I am values by my work, not my church attendance or the color of my skin. I think it’s not made for us, it surely wasn’t made by us. It’s a front, a facade. Like BLM. Or the Nation of Islam for example, even Malcom saw it. In word, on paper, it works. but in practice it is a scam to screen the actual issue from coming to light. It’s like solving the homeless crisis by giving them more money from my taxes, cuz that’s what they need….right?
I went through Raical Microagression with my new manager I reported to DEI and still they decided to put me on a Performance Improvement Plan and trying to get rid of me This is my current experience.
Also it’s important to point out that Legal standards have changed to “defend” DEI values as well, so if you are fired and want to sue, you’ll probably loose because you are a bully.
When it comes to investing, we want our money to grow with the highest rates of return, and the lowest risk possible. While there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it.
Basically DEI is virtue signaling at the corporate level. Just hire the most qualified person….PERIOD. Nothing else matters. I am a hiring manager and if my hands were tied to make hires based on this criteria it would extend the hiring/recruitment process out so long it would be a disaster.
One youtuber once said that progress is treated like it's an upward linear trend, whereas it's actually more like a bell curve. After you reach the highest possible amount of progress, any attempt to obtain more will only cause regression.
I applied for Police Officer in my city back in the 1990s. First, I had to contact the Minority Recruiting Unit...yes that is what all applicants had to do, regardless of skin color. I am white. So I thought, "ok, no biggie". Then when I got to the testing station, there was a huge sign that read, "Minorities and women encouraged to apply". I knew right then that I stood no chance. But I took the test anyway...big surprise I failed, right? The very first question was "Please check your race/for research purposes only". How easy it would be to flip through the tests and discard the ones that had the "wrong" answer to that question. It was a total joke; I shouldn't have wasted my time.
@@karenlebron-morales8672 No. Antiwhite is a specific and target hatred toward White people alone, which is the only acceptable form of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution today. Just like how being antisemitic is targeted hatred against Jews. Racist was a word invented purely to use against White people, around the same time the term "Antiwhite" was removed from all modern dictionaries in the 50s.
A wonderful summary and thank you. We have this rot taking hold here in Australia too and it's something many of us are fighting. Never have I witnessed a more debilitating and divisive idea permeate society in my many years on this planet, as a dad, a business owner, an employer or back when I was an employee. Perhaps the needle is swinging back to sanity around the globe...
I was part of a group at work who listened to an installment of "Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man." At the end I commented that Acho was an impressive guy who was the child of two immigrants who both have advanced degrees. He and his brother went to good schools, played NCAA football and had lucrative NFL careers. He's not a child of slavery, and he appears to be far more privileged than the average American. Acho has a sideline guilt-tripping people about privilege, which seems ironic given his background and his relative level of success compared to most Americans.
Corporations will use DEI as a profitable marketing tool until it isn't one. Remember all that corporate support that existed for BLM? Ya, it's like that.

I work construction. I have never seen or heard about this. If they tried it everybody would walk out. Have fun finding replacements where everybody wants to be a tiktaktoe star.
I said a version of this during my last interview. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. I got ghosted by the company. I still think it was a smart choice. 😂
It’s in that order for a reason too. Of course they didn’t want it so say DIE, but more subtle than that, Dei is a Latin word for God, as in Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). They have arranged it to suit their own god, the destroyer.
The corporation i worked for hired AND promoted due to DEI. There were people of all other races and genders that didnt do shit compared to me. You know what they would say? They would say the opposite. When in all reality i worked really hard, only to be called slow and unproductive. Meanwhile it was me and two other white heterosexual males who had to work at the front register while everyone else got to be managers and not assist all the customers. Thats why i decided to stop working for them. Its a corrupt system.
As a Sindhi American, DEI does NOT benefit me because of race. It benefits me because I have autism (which is so high-functioning that I am borderline normal) so I can lie about it, say I've "struggled" and a "victim of ableist oppression" to get into Ivy Leagues and top investment banking jobs paying 1.5 lac dhs per month.
My job just implemented 2 DEI training courses that I refuse to take. What's also funny about the courses is that it is the only courses that had it's work comment section removed because everyone in the company was bashing it. All other courses show all comments except that one.

I work at the mental hospital and they expect employees to call men women, I won’t do it. And here in Oregon they are a protected class. We even have doctors that are supposed to be taking care of people that have mental illness that have pronouns. Doctors that will address patients not by their biological sex, but by their gender dysphoria sex. It’s truly sad. So everyone vote and vote RED LETS TAKE AMERICAN BACK.
So like people were saying in the FORTIES you think that members of the LGBT+ community have a mental disease. And if it bothers you so much then just like I don't know... quite. Heaven forbid you use pronouns , Cori want food Cori hates damned Libtards. And you doxed yourself good job 🤡🤡
My company’s DEI emails are automatically forwarded to the trash. Because no matter how much they want to adhere to leftard politics, we are already massively diverse. I honestly never have been apart of or seen a more diverse company than the one I’m at now. It’s just mind boggling that we still bother
"Diversity" means "all Blake folks". Is that what you mean?
It’s baffling how much companies spend on this crap. How come basketball teams don’t have to follow DEI guidelines? Or railroad workers. Shouldn’t that split be 50/50 too?
No, no, no. It’s only majority-white countries and businesses that “need” diversity.
This is a stupid analogy. Basketball is a physical sport. This DEI is for knowledge related work. Would DEI apply for white men in Microsoft? Go to Redmond or South Lake Union in Seattle, 80% of the people you’ll see are Indians and Chinese.
@@OneDropEast1988 It is not a stupid analogy. Why knowledge related work should be subject to DEI and physical not? You should talk to Railey Grimes, the swimmer, how DEI worked out for her.
@@Tamara-qd5dc I've always associated DEI with non-physical careers and I've never thought of DEI in physical jobs until now.
But your basketball analogy is absurd, some people just can't jump as high as black people. Are there enough non-black people to try and fight for DEI in NBA? Do you see the picture?
I'll give you an analogy to try to show you're absurdity; How come plumbing companies don't have to follow DEI guidelines?, how come women aren't flocking to become plumbers with all the money that they earn?
@@OneDropEast1988DEI has nothing to do with knowledge.
Diversity: of skin color, sexual orientation, etc. Not of thought.
Equity: forced redistribution to achieve equal outcomes, regardless of merit or effort
Inclusion: speech codes, thought police and "safe spaces" so everyone has to walk on eggshells around people just looking for a reason to be angry & offended
Exactly.
Don't get me started. After I graduated college, I went to work for a well known company who had instituted "Affirmative Action" in a major way. Most of my coworkers were 10 to 15 yrs older than me, and most had no post secondary education. There was a wide range of abilities - some were great at what they did, some were average, and some made me wonder how they ever got the job. The 3rd group was a real drag on the productivity of the organization at every level because they were either apathetic, chronically lazy and/or missing whenever you needed them, or just difficult to deal with. I was one of the youngest in the department and I tried to learn as much as I could. I kept to myself and tried to avoid having to deal with Group #3. Fast forward to 2022 (my 35th yr in the corporate world. I've been working at a different (major) company for just over 20 yrs. Approximately 5 yrs ago this new wave of "Diversity hires" started trickling into my workplace. It's like deja vu all over again but this time around it's much worse because of the ATTITUDE that these people exhibit. Even more frustrating is that the hands of management are tied because these people are "fire proof" and they will complain and litigate in a NY minute if they dislike their job or perceive they are being forced to do any more than they feel like doing. Meanwhile, those who are capable are being pressured to do more and it's often to clean up what was not done correctly (or at all) by those who were hired just because... I am SO glad I don't have to work much longer!
Thank you for having me on (:
You killed it! Thank you
Good stuff Christan ☺️
You were excellent!
Your presentation was biased and fairly disingenuous. To pretend that there aren't structural inequalities in, for instance, American society, is mind boggling, given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You've been too selective and presented only the cons of DEI. What do you think the pros are of trying to campaign for a fairer more inclusive society? Perhaps, to you, there are none? I'm baffled.
Thanks for appearing Christian. We need a whole lot more of people like yourself.
To keep his license in the medical field a close relative had to take one of these classes and was so furious for being labeled a racist after 20 years of treating every patient with the utmost respect simply because he's white. He said his Hispanic teammates were just as resentful. .
It is because race is a social construct so yes he is racist if he is considered white. The system was a hierarchy. If a person admits they're black they are saying they are lesser than and that is never the case. I hope this clears up your doubt. If not please understand the history of race which was given by the foreigners -europeans to non-whites the indigenous that were here including my family.
@@PeacocknRose You are obviously posting here fighting to keep your D.E.I job relevant. You are the real racist. Everything should be merit based. Anything less is just encouraging vitcimhood like yourself.
Why would he be furious about having to take 1 class?
@@urzmontst.george6314 Repeated every year to be allowed to continue practicing. Although the tide of DEI is turning as the discrimination accompanying it is successfully litigated and companies begin paying out large settlements to its victims, we now have the greatest example of DEI at work in the news daily. The CEO of a large public organization explicitly stated that he was going to break all EEO laws and exclude all candidates for an important position except black females. A person was given this job based solely on her skin color and gender. Although she didn't do a good job with her assigned tasks, this lady was given a promotion based on her gender and race and is now being told to apply that same identity discrimination mindset against someone based on their religion. This is something she should have no problem doing since she was the benefactor of such identity discrimination. Meet border czar Kamala Harris who will NOT be choosing Jewish PA Governor Shapiro as her running mate.
Your 100% right, this country has failed in so many ways
First question in every job interview is do you have DEI? If they do, walk out.
Good luck finding a company that will say they don't do dei.
I had an interesting discussion with an African American Air Force Senior Master Sargent about discrimination in the Military. By his admission, he grew up in a family that told him if he worked hard, he would succeed so he did so every day. I asked him if he ever experienced discrimination and he told me the only people who ever discouraged him were members of his own race who felt his hard work was making them look bad. Of course that same attitude was also seen in other minority communities where an individual was excelling while members of their race were trying to hold them back.
That’s an exception and not the rule. And he was truly blind about the racism he really experienced being in anything that is majority non black if you’re black!
If he’s got dark skin he faced discrimination. Idk what you talking about
@@msjcox39, Are gatekeeping his own experience? Idk man, sounds like you're gaslighting
Thats pretty much it in a nutshell and the leftist ideology- sour grapes, envy, the haves vs the have nots (REGARDLESS of how the haves came to be) its a cult and at its core is jealousy
I'm in a land far, far away that doesn't have much of this DEI at all. However, some US multinats here are pushing it. The locals are quite confused as they didnt realise there was such a problem (note: there isnt). However some of the younger, more impressionable locals have taken to it and that's worrying.
Way to go, Christian!
Excellent video.
In addition to everything noted, it also has dropped my respect for top management in most (not all) big companies. It shows how mindless and foolish they can be, following whatever new fads blow through culture, without regard for its truth or even its effects on productivity and company culture. In short, they are weak phonies, all the way up to the CEO.
They are completely disconnected from the rest. They're in a big club and we're not in it. No matter the system, there will always be a class of "elites" who are completely disconnected from the rest of society and think they're above it all, almost like they're not humans at all but something "greater"
I am an immigrant who believes hard work and skills will be the tools for success. Whining and crying will get you no where!
No one is whining . This is about teling people aware of the discriminatory action that is actually taking place. It will cause division in the workplace. And designed in it verbage ,that if you say wait a minute ,why isn't the white man included, because then you will be a racist.
The DEI is a blackrock program.
Brilliant work from Christian Watson :]
Great, great, great! And here is a new face of Truth, thanks to Prager U.!
I don't know about the last part. They aren't calling you racist because you're racist. They're calling you racist because they are trying to use it to put a road block in your way. Telling them you're not doesn't really matter because it's not an honest accusation in the first place.
Agreed, and there is no way to convince them. We are "damned if we do" and "damned if we don't", even according to this video. It is all about the argument itself for these narcissists. In my opinion, the better solution is to not engage, and separate into like minded people as much as possible. I'm not sure how this will play out in real life though.
Yes, this entire charade starts with a word, racism, redefined to allow them to claim they cannot be racist, because they are not a member of a majority group with power. They are so deluded to believe that they are incapable of being guilty of practicing racism while they do it in real time against you. The purpose of their tactic, is to put a white person who doesn't realize they are a benefactor of a racist system on defense, go ahead and try to prove a negative is what they want you to do. Proving that you're NOT a bigot, white supremacist, racist, misogynist, is basically impossible for anyone, and they know that. They want you to reply "But I have black friends or I dated a minority person" Now you're expressing white fragility, and they can use that hammer on you too.
@@njfilly8705 Denying and being neutral is not enough. Not only are you not racist, but they are racist for allowing or supporting the DEI in the first place. DEI concept is racist and so is anyone who supports it. The real truth.
I call it DIE because that’s where freedom goes to die.
DEI is a grown up version of " L:ook what you made me do and its YOUR fault I failed" These people are exploiting laziness, sloth and real skin privilege
Great explanation! Thank you!
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
I am going to post this on my work chat board. I work for extremely large media access provider. They provided management material on how to rebuttal and target anyone who speaks against DEI as "White Fragility".
Unbelievable
This is a great video that clearly explains everything in a way that's easy to understand & doesn't lose your interest due to over complicated explanations! It's straight to the point & not too long at all. Thanx
I whole heartedly agree. Down with DEI……!!!!!!!!
Oh no. Prager missed the real reason companies adopt dei. If you don't adopt these policies your esg scores go down, and the value of your stock and credit scores take a huge hit.
If you have the DEI department you are dividing your work force and training the to be whining unproductive losers. You are teaching the people who they're trying to help learned helplessness. Then they stop learning. Then they stop leading and producing innovation that is the key to keeping up with competitors.
It’s good to call this out, and I see in the comments that some companies are complicit in the perpetuation of this issue. I’m pleased to say that my company does not have a DEI office or department, and we hire based on qualifications and best fit (not race, or any other irrelevant measure). So there is hope.
Not hiring the most qualified applicant sounds like an excellent way to screw over your own company. Good job, let me know how that works out for ya. 😂
I've seen many talented coworkers leave my institution because of this, and the institution becomes worse and worse.
Let’s treat everyone equally. Why does pigmentation, sexuality or genitalia have anything to do with the workplace or education?
We need more educational videos that respectfully address the issues so I can send them to people that are deeply submerged in this mindset!
As a stock market investor, as soon as I see that DEI crap in the company documents, I'm out of there... I will not help fund that anti-American process no matter how profitable they may appear
Forgive my ignorance, but where can I go to look up those documents? I have a company I want to look up.
So what do we do about it? It is weaving through everything like a poisonous snake. We have called it out in our schools and they still forge ahead.
I am not from USA and i didn’t know about DEI BS until few years ago when we had zoom meeting at work with new DEI department representatives. After few minutes my blood started to boil from all the disgusting racism. I was not alone! And for now this department is the most hated department at my organization. Race/Sex or any other discrimination or even consideration have no place in my World! And this is only one example what is terribly wrong it USA.
This DEI stuff is everywhere and the absolute taproot of it is envy. People want other people's stuff, plain and simple. And they're using this crap to achieve it.
You don't have to defend yourself from being called a racist. Tell them, they ARE the racist! Their whole DEI philosophy is the definition of racist.
To tell the truth you need courage which is in short supply.
I am so glad that I am only 2-3 years away from retirement. Now...I just need to survive this poisonous ideology to get there.
I'm a gay man, all I ever wanted was equality. I dont want preferential treatment. I expect to progress through my career by merit.
Bull's Eye! 🎯
Great video, thank you so much for making them!
Affirmative action is no good we need merits not guilt😳
You don't just have to be socially/politically conservative or right-wing to be an actual racist. You also don't just to be racially White to be an actual racist.
I am on a business trip and am two hours from a DEI seminar in my field. I don't know how I'm going to get out of there without getting in trouble.
Just don't participate outside of showing up.
Brown person here. Never been a victim and yet I’ve found MORE opportunity in areas where ppl are white and conservative than where they are “progressive and inclusive”. Why? Because I don’t have to walk on eggshells, I can be myself. I don’t have to worry about conforming to things that make no sense like a click. I am values by my work, not my church attendance or the color of my skin. I think it’s not made for us, it surely wasn’t made by us. It’s a front, a facade. Like BLM. Or the Nation of Islam for example, even Malcom saw it. In word, on paper, it works. but in practice it is a scam to screen the actual issue from coming to light. It’s like solving the homeless crisis by giving them more money from my taxes, cuz that’s what they need….right?
I went through Raical Microagression with my new manager I reported to DEI and still they decided to put me on a Performance Improvement Plan and trying to get rid of me This is my current experience.
You mean, you reported someone for a micro-aggression? Could you be more specific?
Also it’s important to point out that Legal standards have changed to “defend” DEI values as well, so if you are fired and want to sue, you’ll probably loose because you are a bully.
Thank you Jesus . $ 14,000 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life !!! Crypto has changed my life and you are the next.
You're right, Investing in crypto currency now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market.
Speaking of investing, People are really making a lot of money from it.
Nah that ain't always the case. One could be born rich, or actually work smart and understanding money and how to make it.
When it comes to investing, we want our money to grow with the highest rates of return, and the lowest risk possible. While there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it.
Cypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in it the fear of not Investing.
Basically DEI is virtue signaling at the corporate level. Just hire the most qualified person….PERIOD. Nothing else matters. I am a hiring manager and if my hands were tied to make hires based on this criteria it would extend the hiring/recruitment process out so long it would be a disaster.
I tell everyone to not participate in their emailed surveys or seminars/meetings.
I thought this was about Dale Earnhardt inc. I'm a white man in septic work where is this privilege everyone is talking about
One youtuber once said that progress is treated like it's an upward linear trend, whereas it's actually more like a bell curve. After you reach the highest possible amount of progress, any attempt to obtain more will only cause regression.
Thank you David Johnson of Prager U
Diversity = enforced harmony
Equity = equality of outcomes
Inclusion = included (if you agree with us)
I applied for Police Officer in my city back in the 1990s. First, I had to contact the Minority Recruiting Unit...yes that is what all applicants had to do, regardless of skin color. I am white. So I thought, "ok, no biggie". Then when I got to the testing station, there was a huge sign that read, "Minorities and women encouraged to apply". I knew right then that I stood no chance. But I took the test anyway...big surprise I failed, right? The very first question was "Please check your race/for research purposes only". How easy it would be to flip through the tests and discard the ones that had the "wrong" answer to that question. It was a total joke; I shouldn't have wasted my time.
Thank you ❤ for making this video. You explained it plain and simple. God bless you ❤ PragerU and 🇺🇸
It's not "racist" or "discriminatory," it's just antiwhite. That's all DIE means, "no whites," or more specifically "no white men."
And is not "being anti-white" being racist?
@@karenlebron-morales8672 No. Antiwhite is a specific and target hatred toward White people alone, which is the only acceptable form of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution today. Just like how being antisemitic is targeted hatred against Jews. Racist was a word invented purely to use against White people, around the same time the term "Antiwhite" was removed from all modern dictionaries in the 50s.
The disaster is the Cons who know about this since Yuri warned about it and yet did nothing. Great job clowns!
Division
Exclusion
Inequality
Companies discriminate in their staffing so they can avoid "discriminating" in their staffing.
A wonderful summary and thank you. We have this rot taking hold here in Australia too and it's something many of us are fighting. Never have I witnessed a more debilitating and divisive idea permeate society in my many years on this planet, as a dad, a business owner, an employer or back when I was an employee. Perhaps the needle is swinging back to sanity around the globe...
Exactly. My company is knee deep in this garbage.
I was part of a group at work who listened to an installment of "Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man." At the end I commented that Acho was an impressive guy who was the child of two immigrants who both have advanced degrees. He and his brother went to good schools, played NCAA football and had lucrative NFL careers. He's not a child of slavery, and he appears to be far more privileged than the average American. Acho has a sideline guilt-tripping people about privilege, which seems ironic given his background and his relative level of success compared to most Americans.
Corporations will use DEI as a profitable marketing tool until it isn't one. Remember all that corporate support that existed for BLM? Ya, it's like that.
'I'm not' is a very weak counterargument to anything, especially a social, cultural and financial juggernaut like DEI
Agreed, and there is no way to convince them. We are "damned if we do" and "damned if we don't", even according to this video. It is all about the argument itself for these narcissists. In my opinion, the better solution is to not engage, and separate into like minded people as much as possible. I'm not sure how this will play out in real life though.
Actually when accused, best not to deny it. But just to shout back with “You’re delusional.”
Most diverse, yes. Most inclusive and equitable? No one would ever have said this about the US
I work construction. I have never seen or heard about this. If they tried it everybody would walk out.
Have fun finding replacements where everybody wants to be a tiktaktoe star.
imagine all the people in the other comment sections rooting for DEI-- praising it. Bless their heart.
I said a version of this during my last interview. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. I got ghosted by the company. I still think it was a smart choice. 😂
It’s in that order for a reason too. Of course they didn’t want it so say DIE, but more subtle than that, Dei is a Latin word for God, as in Agnus Dei (Lamb of God).
They have arranged it to suit their own god, the destroyer.
Spot on!
Here's something to say to a DEI "expert" when they call you a racist. Tell them they're con artists.
The dei measures being taken with med schools is quite frightening.
There are no actual DEI experts. Ask one of the many “experts” what the DEI goal or endpoint actually is.
thank you so much for this video.
Nice, one of my favorites
The corporation i worked for hired AND promoted due to DEI. There were people of all other races and genders that didnt do shit compared to me. You know what they would say? They would say the opposite. When in all reality i worked really hard, only to be called slow and unproductive. Meanwhile it was me and two other white heterosexual males who had to work at the front register while everyone else got to be managers and not assist all the customers. Thats why i decided to stop working for them. Its a corrupt system.
In my experience, DEI means "Let's all share anecdotes about white men making me feel sad".
South Africa is one of the countries these agendas were piloted in, now with more than 100 race-based laws.
yep, south african here. with BEE (Black Economic Empowerment), even black people are against it, because it only empowers SOME black people.
Where is all the black & Hispanic people that need to hear this?? What is going to take for ppl to understand?? 😭
Same happened in Canada too.
DEI, Didn’t Earn It.
As a Sindhi American, DEI does NOT benefit me because of race. It benefits me because I have autism (which is so high-functioning that I am borderline normal) so I can lie about it, say I've "struggled" and a "victim of ableist oppression" to get into Ivy Leagues and top investment banking jobs paying 1.5 lac dhs per month.
My job just implemented 2 DEI training courses that I refuse to take. What's also funny about the courses is that it is the only courses that had it's work comment section removed because everyone in the company was bashing it. All other courses show all comments except that one.
