Characterizing this only as an attack by conservatives is a little disingenuous. I'm a democrat and personally, I think DEI has made a caricature of itself, resulting or at the very least contributing to its own demise. If you've taken any mandatory corporate DEI training, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
DEI is a combination of movements, that are pro global south and anti white male, anti-neo-colonialsm which means it's literally at odds with US interests, and antisemitic, anti-asian.
I want to see blacks only NBA or NFL, Asians only NBA or NFL ,and so too for other races. If talents and hard work mean nothing than why bother competing or work hard at all
An ideal example of diversity in a workplace, according to my studies in America, would be to hire locals or those educated with their respective fields; you wouldn't put some person born and raised in London in charge of managing Chinese workplaces, you would put someone in charge that knows the culture or grew up there. Diversity tends to be take to the extreme, reduced to a mere check box to appease onlookers at the cost of business performance.
It is ridiculous to think that when the population of black people is 13%, every company's management should be 13%. The same idea is that when there is 100 applicants for a job, 90 men and 10 women, they should hire 2 men and 2 women. No, it should not be like that, but rather the best applicants to be chosen.
Well, yes. But there certainly is an argument to be made. Statistically, employment in different sectors should be spread relatively equally across race in a perfect world. We're all equal for most part. The question is whats holding that back and what could you do.
@@sebastianorye2702 A prime example of how diversity should be used would be how you would hire locals of your targeted group; you shouldn't hire someone completely unaware of a local area, and move them across the country to manage operations for the local area... same for bringing people overseas instead of hiring locals of a business... you would also seek to hire some overseas personnel and move them back to your country, to advise operations... real diversity is sound and logic based, with some other parts to it, but otherwise basic.

Ok, great statistic bias: You show chart of management where 75% of managers are white, and you point to imbalance in Black people being 6% while population consits of 13% black. Despite the white ratio actually being correct... and offset is caused mainly by asian people Why not point out that per 6% of asian population 13% of them are in managerial role too... i'n america that's 75% white? Ah right... that doesn't fit the narration.
can you ensure that race had no influence on the skill. can you ensure that race was not a factor in hiring. can you ensure that race was not a factor in referrals
I don't understand it. We once agreed that we want to treat all people equally and that skin color, religion and gender are irrelevant. The solution we have now chosen for equality is not to treat people equally, but to give them preference on the basis of skin color, religion and gender. That is madness.
Exactly. It seems people are starting to catch on though, and it seems some are damning their careers for when society starts correcting itself again; there is one person who actively promotes racism against white people, who is a consultant to several game companies that likely won't have a career in a few years, or any ability to work at a decent job due to being so openly racist.

You're so much for meritocracy that you have gerrymandering so that your low value policies can stand a chance. Since when someone who has talent cares with dei?
The issue is there isn’t ‘fair’ meritocracy no matter how much we say there is. If there was complete ‘fair’ meritocracy then DEI does not have to be a thing. The fact is if 2 employees with the exact same skills and experience but ones name is John Smith the other is Abdullah Ali, Statistics show John is more likely to get hired
DEI is fundamentally about discriminating by skin color, not by socioeconomic conditions during upbringing which is what the nation should be adjusting for. Measure what you care about, like zip code or median income of household during childhood, don't use skin color as a proxy for it.
No dei is about giving the opportunity to millions who were thrown out of wealth creating opportunities for centuries. The system was biased against them so they now are being given opportunities to reach where others are aldready their
_In addition, an amendment added to the collective bargaining agreement in 2020 allows teams to gain a special compensatory pick in the third round if a _*_minority employee_*_ is hired by another team as a head coach or primary football executive._
Right, no one talks about how if most the hiring staff are white, and most of the coaches are white, and the owners are white, and the sponsors are white how is it most of the players are black?
If you're talking about the athletes.... that is where physique plays a huge role. You could also argue that white people excel at more white collar sports and that generally white people didn't have as much pressure to be the best athletes because they felt more capable of securing employment. lets talk about DEI in golf or rugby or polo or water polo or swimming or archery or pickleball or darts or curling or hockey or lacrosse or soccer or wrestling or horse jumping or dog sledding or poker or frisby or surfing or skateboarding or etc etc etc
I support inclusion and equality. No one should be locked out of a political system or lose opportunity due to skin color in America. However, it is time to be honest here. I grew up in a city and certain ethnic groups worked hard even at very young ages to position themselves for career success and I mean some worked very hard. Other ethnic groups did not place the same value on education. The members of that second ethic group who chose to put in the work were rewarded with a career. Sometimes just analyzing lagging data places too much blame. There are a lot of factors for why numbers appear the way they do that extend beyond racism.
Lets be all the way honest..... Most ethnic groups did have to deal with laws specifically targeting them and locking them out of economic opportunity. America never dealt with that and the historic impacts economically still show today and why so called DEI programs existed in the first place. America has never been accountable. Cant say pull yourself up by your bootstraps and a ppl do so and then you move the goal post. I would implore anyone to read "The color of Law" book by Richard Rothsetin.... that's damage only one ethnic group in this country has faced. Further more, when an ethnic group places education at the forefront after building up schools they couldn't get in (Harvard, UGA, UNC, Georgetown and on and on..), they started their own schools and of course the funding wasn't equal (Jim Crow). So much that is not taught (see ron Desantis rules on teaching history, Murica) and then you have these narratives.... Interesting..
but what if those with talent got it fron an unfair system that favors giving resources to one group over another. if you just pick the best person in those circumstances you end up with a kind of caste system and you know that. that's what you really want.
If in some alternative universe, if your CV was not allowed to include your name (hence no ethnicity indicator), then I'd imagine the Asian population would have far more students accepted into ivy leagues and also in prominent managerial positions.

it's not workplace diversity. it is work place segregation. it is no surprise the people who thought social racial segregation was ok also thinks that work place diversity is bad also. work place diversity is workplace integration. these people are openly fighting to maintain segregation in the work place in 2024.
If corporate America was bigoted, guys like Sundar Pichai or Satya Nadella or women like Indra Nooyi or Carly Fiorina would never have led those massive corporations. Dont undermine Meritocracy.
How are 13% of Board of Directors supposed to be Black when only 3% of Regional Managers are Black? The talent pool is limited meaning you have to pick less qualified candidates to meet the quota. Its not a company’s fault that Black people are underrepresented its a society issue.
artificially fitting employees to match a census instead of hiring based on merit is otherwise racism, this is no different than race-based quotas. Current system already favors minorities- it favors asians who are overrepresented in the professional fields... but because it's not the "right kind of minority". But asians who obtain executive positions succeed based on thier enterprise and skills. In fact, the success of asian-americans sharply disproves the idea that there is some kind of "collusion" to maintain "white supremacy" when a minority group is able to succeed so strongly. Stick to race-blind hiring and it will be fair.
It's not accurate to completely disregard wht privilege but I fully agree with how they see it as *"not the right kind of minority".* It's sickening how she gets away with saying "blk women & women of color", shamelessly placing themselves first. Do the rest of us not exist for her? "Of color" also has a controversial past, I bet she knows it and uses it on purpose to separate her own from the rest of us.
Strawman argument, get athletes with better genes and training. In actual workplaces, if 2 ppl with same qualification applies, the one with a name like Smith will be employed instead of an Ali.
But can you prove he systematically discriminated against other racial groups when hiring them? That’s the point of what is trying to be avoided, not simply making every company an exact replica of society’s diversity at large.
In South Africa and Namibia , where they had apartheid, it is called Black Economic Empowerment(B.E.E). It shows that you can’t tip the scales of advantage with policy, the only way is to organically create equal opportunities, and that takes time. In the long run more “people of color” (ghastly term for “the rest of the people”) can build wealth too.
Diversity isn't the enemy, neoliberalism is Neoliberalism: Social liberalism (why DEI initiatives exist) + Economic conservatism (why corporations are getting richer)
Why is Diversity a Dirty word? Because DEI - as it has been implemented in many businesses - has done nothing but force managers to hire and promote, not the best overall candidate for a role, but the best from some filtered list. Prime example: 0:35 - explaining this as anything but racism is impossible. Its pretty sad (and ironic?) that DEI has been separated out rather than being an inherent concept in US business culture. Not sure how to fix the issues we have, but the way DEI has been implemented is the problem, not DEI itself.
All they see is skin color... They mention meritocracy, say that some people/companies are worried about meritocracy not being the main criteria... and then they go to other topics, without discussing WHY diversity hires are NOT meritocracy and WHY meritocracy should (not?) be the main basis for hiring. They end with the prediction that in a few decades, the majority of Americans will be people of color. Yes. So? The most competent Americans will be hired for the jobs, regardless of their skin color. Why hire less competent people today, colored or white?
Israel is 60% Mizrahi and 20% Palestinian, it's diverse enough. Palestinians themselves are Christians, Druze, Samaritan and Muslim, with ethnic Circassian, Armenian and even EOC minorities.
DEI = Discrimination disguised as fixing discrimination. Hiring the best person for the job based on performance metrics = the least discriminatory method.
Meritocracy is important and certain quotas may not be the effective to get the most talented people from a society in the academic or work places they need to be BUT is funny how people in the US uses meritocracy as an excuse to attack policies that avoid segregation and exclusion in a country that was one of the 5 states in the whole world with a barbaric active apartheid in the last 100 years (The others were Germany with moustache man, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe). Those policies are still affecting people today and would probably will in the next generation…

"Why the business of blackmailing companies into paying for scam consulting gigs became a dirty word." Bloomburg is so helplessly out of touch from its readership it is astonishing.
While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams,” Reagan said. “Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation.”
@5:19 you need to step up your arguments strength. Just saying “ clearly we don’t have a meritocracy ” is not evidence that we don’t have a meritocracy. You really need to strengthen that argument.
The way I see it, wealth and prosperity is like a race. Early in the race, white people in America effectively broke the leg of people of color. Midway through the race, the white runner realized that breaking the colored runner’s leg at the start was bad, so now the white runner considers the colored runner their equal with equal rights and opportunities. The issue with the white runner’s way of thinking is that the colored runner still has a broken leg. The two runners are not equal. The colored runner’s leg must be healed to truly make the race equal. However, the white runner believes that is unfair since they themselves are not getting their perfectly fine leg healed… Go figure
as an asian its hard to agree with DEIS that perpetuate a stigma that barr asian americans from entering workforce/ education based on meritocracy to incorporate other minorities; however, it is also hard to say that meritocracy is what drives the american hiring process. Most, if not all jobs that are high level are all referral based. This is hard for african americans and others to get these jobs as they werent allow to get that head start in the first place unlike their white counterparts. This is also true for asians but at a lesser level - the 13% of asians being managerial despite being only 6% of general population perpetuates this referral based rather than meritocracy based.
Dont get ne wrong im against DEI based hiring,but a venture capital firm. trying to fund buisnesses of women of colour is not bad,like they're obvious about the fact that it's women's only
"The stats in the area of funding for black women and women of color are alarming. Women of color combined, black and brown, receive 0.39% of venture capital funds." "That is disturbing when women of color make up 20% of the population." I'm not a math genius, but 20% of the population does not mean that all said 20% of the population is in business, or has a business plan that requires VC funding, or gets to present it to a venture capital firm, or gets approved, or requires a number that makes a bigger dent on all total VC funding. It's simply not how the math works. One cannot just expect VC firms to chase people who never applied for VC funding and give them VC funds, without their need fitting criteria, just because they are exactly 20% of the population. To affect a change in these numbers, it will help to start training black and brown women who are in business (perhaps a small portion of that 20%) to learn how to seek said funding and get approved for it. Am I wrong?
US is hardly ready for anything other than WASP. This is a nice hypothesis to test that’s one reason USA is losing persuasion in foreign affairs or that P is a liability for the country…
DEI and ESG are collectivist / socialist ideas. Instead of lowering the bar for some, we should ensure they have the skills to compete. Meritocracy improves economies!
So...I don't think this was supposed to be a 7minute video. So....this should not have been a Right V Left debate. This was supposed to be a pros and cons debate. Understanding both sides, not villainising. this is extremely disappointing BLOOMBERG. Talk about meritocracy, why are white men dominating? why are black people not doing this? This was a very political talk...I would have wanted a balanced view.
There is this wonderful thing called the internet. Becoming like the lost art of reading books, you can type in and search for things. You don't need a video to spoon feed or answer your questions (or some AI bot). Then, you can spend 2-3 min on the official US census page figuring out how they aggregated their data.
And the graphs and arguments doesn't make sense at all... Whites are 76% of the population and holds 74% of top job, while blacks are 13% of population but holds 6% of the top job, meanwhile asians holds 14% of top job with 6% of population... So does this mean we should fire Asians and give the top jobs to blacks and Hispanics and also based on that argument, we should also increase 2% for whites if it's based on population senses... It simply doesn't make sense, and this is totally a bs vid
2023 US general population 75.5%+19%+13.6%+6.3%=114.4% Am I doing math correctly? If so than how management roles in 2021 was 74%+14%+6%+5%+2%=101% How could mathematics change so much in the span of two years?

White women benefit the most from affirmative action just had to mention that because people tend to forget that!
it's not workplace diversity. it is work place segregation. it is no surprise the people who thought social racial segregation was ok also thinks that work place diversity is bad also. work place diversity is workplace integration. these people are openly fighting to maintain segregation in the work place in 2024.
Wall Street: We aren't going to hire you based on race
Also Wall Street: Why are the people we discriminated against upset?
Merit>>>>>diversity
If corporate America was bigoted, guys like Sundar Pichai or Satya Nadella or women like Indra Nooyi or Carly Fiorina would never have led those massive corporations. Dont undermine Meritocracy.
How are 13% of Board of Directors supposed to be Black when only 3% of Regional Managers are Black? The talent pool is limited meaning you have to pick less qualified candidates to meet the quota. Its not a company’s fault that Black people are underrepresented its a society issue.
artificially fitting employees to match a census instead of hiring based on merit is otherwise racism, this is no different than race-based quotas. Current system already favors minorities- it favors asians who are overrepresented in the professional fields... but because it's not the "right kind of minority". But asians who obtain executive positions succeed based on thier enterprise and skills. In fact, the success of asian-americans sharply disproves the idea that there is some kind of "collusion" to maintain "white supremacy" when a minority group is able to succeed so strongly.
Stick to race-blind hiring and it will be fair.
It's not accurate to completely disregard wht privilege but I fully agree with how they see it as *"not the right kind of minority".* It's sickening how she gets away with saying "blk women & women of color", shamelessly placing themselves first. Do the rest of us not exist for her? "Of color" also has a controversial past, I bet she knows it and uses it on purpose to separate her own from the rest of us.
Why nobody calling for the diversification of professional basketball or track & field ?
Strawman argument, get athletes with better genes and training. In actual workplaces, if 2 ppl with same qualification applies, the one with a name like Smith will be employed instead of an Ali.
The Black Ceo woman should give out venture capital money on merit, rather than being racist.
Meritocracy > Diversity
Marc Cubans top paid personal are majority black, and the roster of the mavericks does not look like the countries average
But can you prove he systematically discriminated against other racial groups when hiring them? That’s the point of what is trying to be avoided, not simply making every company an exact replica of society’s diversity at large.
@@VideoAmericanStyle can you prove that companies are discriminating against minorities, so they must adopt DEI?
It's a euphemism for race-based hiring. It's also presented to employees in a way that clearly threatens them for identifying the token hires.
if you speak against these policies, you get a letter from HR, no wonder 80% people like it.
DEI is truly evil.
Coming soon: NARWA - National Association for the Advancement of White Peoples
Isn’t that basically the US government for the last 250 years?
No, just the freemasons.
It became a dirty word when politicians weaponize the concept for their own self-interests at the public's expense.
In South Africa and Namibia , where they had apartheid, it is called Black Economic Empowerment(B.E.E). It shows that you can’t tip the scales of advantage with policy, the only way is to organically create equal opportunities, and that takes time. In the long run more “people of color” (ghastly term for “the rest of the people”) can build wealth too.
in south africa 7 million people pay taxes and 23 million rely on welfare
As an Asian watching
This is clearly propaganda
Trying to end racial sorting through a policy of racial sorting.
Yeah, why would anyone object to that?
Diversity isn't the enemy, neoliberalism is
Neoliberalism: Social liberalism (why DEI initiatives exist) + Economic conservatism (why corporations are getting richer)
Why is Diversity a Dirty word? Because DEI - as it has been implemented in many businesses - has done nothing but force managers to hire and promote, not the best overall candidate for a role, but the best from some filtered list. Prime example: 0:35 - explaining this as anything but racism is impossible.
Its pretty sad (and ironic?) that DEI has been separated out rather than being an inherent concept in US business culture. Not sure how to fix the issues we have, but the way DEI has been implemented is the problem, not DEI itself.
*Breaks laws*
"Being harassed by litigation is what oppression looks like!"
All they see is skin color...
They mention meritocracy, say that some people/companies are worried about meritocracy not being the main criteria... and then they go to other topics, without discussing WHY diversity hires are NOT meritocracy and WHY meritocracy should (not?) be the main basis for hiring.
They end with the prediction that in a few decades, the majority of Americans will be people of color. Yes. So? The most competent Americans will be hired for the jobs, regardless of their skin color. Why hire less competent people today, colored or white?
DOWN WITH D.E.I👎🏿
If you can do the work well, you should be hired to do the work. Whether your skin is dark or light doesn't enter into it at all. Or shouldn't.
You are not convincing us of what you are trying to sell
I like the mental gymnastics from minorities to under represented minorities. Since some minorities are high achieving.
Why isn’t Israel diverse ?
Israel is 60% Mizrahi and 20% Palestinian, it's diverse enough. Palestinians themselves are Christians, Druze, Samaritan and Muslim, with ethnic Circassian, Armenian and even EOC minorities.
It's weird as a European watching this. Both the right and the left of the US is so obsessed with skin color it's freaky AF!
And Europeans are not?
@@bostonluyasar7045 Not as much as you. Stop polluting Europe.
When you have an ethnicity and a purpose, you have extra time to care about more important things.
DEI = Discrimination disguised as fixing discrimination.
Hiring the best person for the job based on performance metrics = the least discriminatory method.
Meritocracy is important and certain quotas may not be the effective to get the most talented people from a society in the academic or work places they need to be BUT is funny how people in the US uses meritocracy as an excuse to attack policies that avoid segregation and exclusion in a country that was one of the 5 states in the whole world with a barbaric active apartheid in the last 100 years (The others were Germany with moustache man, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe).
Those policies are still affecting people today and would probably will in the next generation…
Elon Musk is right wing? plz. The left in America has just gone crazy.
they throw words like right-wing, fascist, etc to the point where it has no meaning. anyone that calls out thier bogus ideas gets a label.
it's similar to communist tactics in the past except nobody's falling for it anymore.
What ever happened to hiring on the merit of education, skill, and work experience?
Blacks couldn't compete
"Why the business of blackmailing companies into paying for scam consulting gigs became a dirty word." Bloomburg is so helplessly out of touch from its readership it is astonishing.
Diversity is not the dirty word It's the mandating of it.
this is propaganda
While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams,” Reagan said. “Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation.”
Skills should be hired no matter the color. Ask Disney if hiring a black woman just because she was black turned out well for The Little Mermaid.
This propaganda takes the guesswork out of why Americans vote for Trump
The elephant in the room that shoots DEI in the foot is Asian over representation.
@5:19 you need to step up your arguments strength. Just saying “ clearly we don’t have a meritocracy ” is not evidence that we don’t have a meritocracy. You really need to strengthen that argument.
Compagnies don't care about your color, it's all about how much money you can bring them.
End Racism = End DEI
The way I see it, wealth and prosperity is like a race. Early in the race, white people in America effectively broke the leg of people of color. Midway through the race, the white runner realized that breaking the colored runner’s leg at the start was bad, so now the white runner considers the colored runner their equal with equal rights and opportunities. The issue with the white runner’s way of thinking is that the colored runner still has a broken leg. The two runners are not equal. The colored runner’s leg must be healed to truly make the race equal. However, the white runner believes that is unfair since they themselves are not getting their perfectly fine leg healed… Go figure
as an asian its hard to agree with DEIS that perpetuate a stigma that barr asian americans from entering workforce/ education based on meritocracy to incorporate other minorities; however, it is also hard to say that meritocracy is what drives the american hiring process. Most, if not all jobs that are high level are all referral based. This is hard for african americans and others to get these jobs as they werent allow to get that head start in the first place unlike their white counterparts. This is also true for asians but at a lesser level - the 13% of asians being managerial despite being only 6% of general population perpetuates this referral based rather than meritocracy based.
since ''diversity hire'' became synonymous with incompetence
Hiring people because of their race is racist so if that is the goal of DEI it's unjust.
Diversity video , que Hip Hop beats. Lol
Dont get ne wrong im against DEI based hiring,but a venture capital firm. trying to fund buisnesses of women of colour is not bad,like they're obvious about the fact that it's women's only
Organized DEI seems to br racist.
"The stats in the area of funding for black women and women of color are alarming. Women of color combined, black and brown, receive 0.39% of venture capital funds."
"That is disturbing when women of color make up 20% of the population."
I'm not a math genius, but 20% of the population does not mean that all said 20% of the population is in business, or has a business plan that requires VC funding, or gets to present it to a venture capital firm, or gets approved, or requires a number that makes a bigger dent on all total VC funding. It's simply not how the math works. One cannot just expect VC firms to chase people who never applied for VC funding and give them VC funds, without their need fitting criteria, just because they are exactly 20% of the population.
To affect a change in these numbers, it will help to start training black and brown women who are in business (perhaps a small portion of that 20%) to learn how to seek said funding and get approved for it. Am I wrong?
US is hardly ready for anything other than WASP. This is a nice hypothesis to test that’s one reason USA is losing persuasion in foreign affairs or that P is a liability for the country…
“In terms of the population it should be…” see, meritocracy measurements have to be genetic measurements.
Could be root cause be IQ?
WOKE Bloomberg
I like how they just proved the “replacement theory” at the end. Lol. They say the quite parts out loud now
DEI and ESG are collectivist / socialist ideas. Instead of lowering the bar for some, we should ensure they have the skills to compete. Meritocracy improves economies!
Thank goodness sanity has come back to the conversation. Covid had everyone's brains frazzled
So...I don't think this was supposed to be a 7minute video. So....this should not have been a Right V Left debate. This was supposed to be a pros and cons debate. Understanding both sides, not villainising. this is extremely disappointing BLOOMBERG. Talk about meritocracy, why are white men dominating? why are black people not doing this? This was a very political talk...I would have wanted a balanced view.
4:55 why do either of the graphs dont add up to 100?
There is this wonderful thing called the internet. Becoming like the lost art of reading books, you can type in and search for things. You don't need a video to spoon feed or answer your questions (or some AI bot).
Then, you can spend 2-3 min on the official US census page figuring out how they aggregated their data.
"*Hispanics may be of any race."
@@HKim0072 some people are more interested in questioning than getting an answer
And the graphs and arguments doesn't make sense at all... Whites are 76% of the population and holds 74% of top job, while blacks are 13% of population but holds 6% of the top job, meanwhile asians holds 14% of top job with 6% of population... So does this mean we should fire Asians and give the top jobs to blacks and Hispanics and also based on that argument, we should also increase 2% for whites if it's based on population senses... It simply doesn't make sense, and this is totally a bs vid
They manipulate it, that’s why they don’t teach critical thinking
More diversity for israel!
2023 US general population 75.5%+19%+13.6%+6.3%=114.4% Am I doing math correctly? If so than how management roles in 2021 was 74%+14%+6%+5%+2%=101% How could mathematics change so much in the span of two years?
So far there are:
*590 likes*
and
*2.6K dislikes.*
It’s called competition anxiety 😊 threatened by diversity because the competition is hot. They would love if we stay in the labour market. Sharing the salary of one COO Amongst 14 positions. People start your own business then the competition will really be hot for these companies.
i need to buy: 1 food 30 2. movies 30 3. allergy medicine 30 for zyrtec and 4. 30 for transportation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 120 dollar total!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those unaware this video has 4.2k dislikes. Probably because it is trying to portray DEI as better than merit hiring. The better discussion is to ask why consider ethicity at all unless say you run a business that works with France and hence need someone who speaks French or some similar scenario.
Yes, we need more diversity in NBA also. Deal? 😂
Because Haiti is such a lovely place
