Requirements for working in D.I.E: 1. Ability to discriminate due to in colour 2. Ability to discriminate due to sexual preference or orientation 3. Ability to ignore qualifications and experience to focus on virtue signalling and quota filling. 4. Need to divert heteronormitive people from employment or promotion opportunities to promote hiring and promotion of members of the LGB community 5. Need to include underqualified or sub par employees in positions they are not best suited to in order to present as good employers on Twitter 6. Desire for equity rather than equality in pay structures, hiring practices or company culture in order to appease the radical left, for whom no amount of effort to become "woke" will be enough.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion sound like wonderful things on paper, but the entire point of DEI is maximizing superficial diversity, where everyone looks different, but everyone also thinks exactly the same. In one word, tokenism.
their main job in DEI dept is to tell each dept heads that they don't have enough dark color in their head count and DEI manager will work with HR to remind dept heads that their next hire has to be a dark color person and make sure to tell them it's their responsibility to protect their DEI headcounts.
Thank you for this video! I am a graduating student with an interest in DEI and this is perfect. Unfortunately there is not enough information on the internet for new comers so I appreciate you!
Congrats grad! So glad I could help. If you're not already connected with folks on LinkedIn, I'd urge you to. There are lots of DEI professionals and advocates there with tons of resources, conversations, and more. Feel free to add me and I can point you in the right direction.
A story of a man who fought for equality. I found Chief Judge of the Ottoman Empire Mullah Ali (late sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries). A truly exceptional man. A native of Ethiopia, he was enslaved at a young age and later presented to the first chief harem eunuch (term 1574-1591) who manumitted him and set him on the path to a judicial career. In his treaties, drawing heavily on Arabophone authors of earlier centuries who addressed this topic, Mullah Ali attempts to counter widespread popular belief in the "curse of Ham", which had been adapted by early Muslim theologians from the story in the Torah book of Genesis. According to the Muslim version of the story, Noah's son Ham mocks Noah for exposing his nakedness during a drunken stupor; on awakening, Noah curses Ham with black skin and declares that his descendants will serve those of his two brothers, Shem and Japheth, as slaves. Mullah Ali takes pains to demonstrate that the skin colors of the world's various peoples were created equal, and that piety and good deeds measure a person's worth. He rose to such power that a French ambassador described him as the person who truly ran the empire.
I'm all for diversity and equality. Just so long as the equality is not a demand for an equality of outcome. If ever that should raise its ugly head, I no longer want the diversity. It has become a negative.
@Richard Hoffman when people were warning their own people of the extinction of their own kind, it has been brainwashed that whte people don't have culture and that we are inherently bad so our own demise will be cheered on by the brainwashed other whte people until it will be too late.
Thank you for making this video! It is crazy to me seeing these comments and the way people think. So much hate and people with too much time. I can only hope they start using their time more wisely and challenge them to make one connection outside their norm. For you are who you are from past experiences and environment.
@@bradspringer2372 where in my comment did I say an opposing viewpoint is hate? My comment doesn’t apply to an opposing viewpoint so move on. It applies to the ones being disrespectful
@isaiahwball You didn't. But it is an opposing viewpoint so in theory others might consider it "hate". Too often 'we' dismiss an alternate perspective by simply tossing out the word hate or "hater".
DEI is a perfect government creation. After you’ve worked hard to go into debt to earn a 6 year engineering degree let’s say, DEI comes along with a whole list of less qualified people who are ahead of you in the job line because of that persons race, ethnicity, gender, etc.
@@matthewcornelius5862 it’s designed for division. It does a great job. I have both respect for the DEI field. A quick fad that will pass as companies must tighten their belts in a liberal recession.
@@matthewcornelius5862 What you describe happens every day, which again is why the workforce is so diverse and full of "DEI candidates." Please be fr. Please.
Diversity: Conformity of thought to support the "oppressed identity groups" Inclusion: Exclusion of the "oppressive identity group" by punishing any real or perceived conflict with members of the "oppressed identity group" Equity: Inequality of treatment of identity groups to ensure "equality of outcome"
@@AdrieleParker Sure! Division. Separate white men from all other race, ethnic groups, and women.I saw an job ad for an HR job that said "women and minorities strongly encouraged to apply." Exclusion. Deny white men the same equal protection as women and other races and ethnic groups. My DEI director friend could not answer my question if DEI measures and practices included white men. The answer, yes, should have been easy. Intimidation. Browbeat and denigrate any white male who objects to or questions this process. Read some of these comments and try to remember if you ever heard any of these comments from coworkers in the workplace.
@@AdrieleParker I prefer to go with Discrimination, Intimidation, and Exclusion. At Microsoft there is an incentive to hire based on race and sex for executives. This is discriminatory. If you disagree you are promptly fired and/or people threaten you. See James Damore, the previous head of DIE at Apple, Bret Weinstein, etc. This is intimidation. They do not allow resource groups to be created for men, Asians, or whites (a group tried). This is exclusion.
You should know how to apply unequal standards to impose proportional representation and equal outcomes in favor of protected minorities, regardless of merit, competence, or qualifications.
It’s definitely what I have seen. And it’s absolutely in line with what the Critical Social Justice philosophy advocates. If you read their activist literature, they say this very clearly and unapologetically.
Im Native American with a masters degree.What shool gave this person a degree? Looking up the definition of equity would be the first thing this person needs to do. It's like listening to a juvenile makeup meanings for words they don't understand
You need skills for lifelong welfare? Equity, diversity, and inclusion is just that: lifetime welfare with watered down standards (If any) for thee. Free education, free career (Can’t be fired) for life. Must be nice to be a protected class, with a lifetime of freebies.
What on earth are you talking about? Please don't claim that you are a Christian! Miss leading at the least. I am a Christian and may God bless you and your inflated thinking!😊
@@rbh1236 my ancestors was slaughtered at the Alamo am I entitled to lifetime welfare from Mexico? The s that how it works? Entitlements for me but not for thee! How far back should these entitlements go back? Who’s going to pay for them? Our Government is full of people UNFIT to do their job but because of their skin color or their bathroom choice that can’t be fired short of not showing up to work. How is that Christian? Sounds like Welfare to me!
Why the hell would you enter a field that is being cut all over the country? Seriously you are gonna be out of a job soon if you decide to study this nonsense. Don't be dumb.
Very interesting comments on this video. Thank you, Adriele Parker, for leaving the comments on this open. I think the recent challenges to DEI, as an institution purporting support for positive systemic change, have been very helpful at illuminating the background and unspoken aims of those supporting and framing DEI. The motte-and-bailey is being understood in the simplest ways. I hope you learn the well-reasoned perspectives of key experts of what you may wittingly or unwittingly support… I think the detractors of DEI run amok have done an excellent job exposing the underbelly of an institution that works tirelessly to appear innocuous. Think; James Lindsay, Bret Weinstein, Peter Boghossian, Jordan Peterson, Nicholas Christakis and countless others. Thanks to DEI overreach, the population is sitting up and taking notice. The comments here show it.
I’ve applied for a DEI manager position. But I’m really curious what a day in the life of a DEI manager looks like… can anyone explain? Meetings, program analysis, phone calls? Like what’s the avg day to day work load like.
Selling the prescribed course to a business. You tell them they have a problem they didn't know they had, and you are the solution, and it's of dire importance.
It seems to me like people are bored and have nothing to do. What are you trying achieve? If I own business it's my decision who will work in and who not. I will not employ 50 % women just because someone says.
The problems and solutions vary. For example, it could be a lack of representation in an org that's leading to them creating products that are exclusionary because they lack diverse perspectives. Or it could be a company has hired a diverse group of people, but the systems and process that currently exist were designed by and for a homogenous group. Which is one of the reasons why we need DEI... We need DEI because a lot of existing systems and processes were designed by and for majority groups. There is a world in which we don't need "DEI" as a standalone. For example a brand new company could, from jump, think about hiring different types of people & taking on different types of clients/customers. They could think about fairness and inclusion as they design and implement their structures, internally and externally. But rarely does that happen. DEI should be integrated, but for a lot of orgs, especially existing orgs, it's much easier for them to throw some DEI "initiatives" at existing problems, vs create comprehensive strategies to integrate DEI thinking/design into existing problems.
It assumes that because whites were the majority, then they built systems that only favor whites, and thus are over-represented. Their goal is to have fewer white males in spaces, regardless of merit, because they want to be more inclusive. They will never protect a white man. They will never advocate for a white man. To them, you are part of a monolith of oppressors that have it all handed to them and get preference in everything you do, and that it's systemic and has to be dismantled. It assumes any grievance you have with this philosophy is due to "losing social status and power", no matter if you were born in the last 20 years and are just now coming into adulthood. Because (some) of your ancestors may have had it better, you will be excluded and rejected to make up for it. You're being punished for the sins of your fathers, whether or not they actually committed them, because they view you as an oppressor. The problem. The enemy.
“There are a number of different DEI variations out there“… DEI is reinterpreted in many different ways depending on the person, organization, and context. Your description of DEI Sounds good. There certainly are people who are treated unfairly. Burn victims, the ugly, even left-handers are all at a disadvantage. But that’s not what I see coming from different organizations. What I see is the promotion of race, sex, and sexual proclivities. I see very little psychological or intellectual diversity welcome. In fact, I feel very unwelcome and very hated by the mere fact that I disagreed with the vast majority of DEI agendas. Diversity and inclusion is the exact opposite of its words. It’s applied as to identify those matching underrepresented criteria then divide the rest into allies and enemies. Equity usually means equality of outcome. That is the exact opposite of being fair to all. I want never to be hired on the basis of any underrepresented characteristic any more than I wish to be excluded for such. I want to be hired only for my merits and what I can bring. But when I wrote that on LinkedIn, I received only vitriolic replies, including the admonishment no one should hire me ever.
The fact that DEI is open to interpretation is part of the grift. They will never define consistently what they mean in order to allow for any manipulation or bait and switches. Having multiple meanings of words allows you to do things while simultaneously pretending you are doing something else. Because if they were to consistently define what they mean then: 1. the benefits of DEI are so miniscule and common sense that nobody would bother wasting money on it 2. The ugly side of DEI, which outweighs the pretty, would instantly repel people from hiring such positions.
@@AdrieleParker you are a slave to your flawed ideologies and you think that you have a right to force your views on others and even demand pay for it. The audacity and entitlement of this is unreal. Not to mention the smug self-righteousness. You people are insufferable because you live in a cult and any crticism only serves to further fuel your egos.
@@AdrieleParker it is, to anyone that has a brain and isn't a fake activist and leftoid. The audacity to think that you deserve to get paid for stuff like this. I remember when activists used to do things out of their own free time and actually stood for real issues. But now it's the entitlement generation where activists who are not even real activists expect to get paid lavishly for pushing some woke narratives. Unreal. Of course, most of these EDI people are women. Shows how much women really love to do real work.
I’m here to say thank you for this video. Highly informative. Glad to see that DEI has grown more since the making of this video! Seems to be outlasting the hurt feelings in your comments lol
Alsobit discriminates based on sex and gender too. So much discrimination against men in favor of women wven in campanies where men are in the minority of employees.
"Diversity" - but not diversity of thought........ "Inclusion" - which systematically excludes people with the wrong political views ... ......"Equity" - which is a commitment to (what's seen as a positive variety of) racial essentialism, but which fosters much worse racist attitudes (due to DEI's commitment to race politics and even a mild and non-violent version of a race war)..... Ultimately, DEI is about political power, creating DEI jobs and sustaining them (as this particular video shows), and moral grandstanding.
Equity and Diversity is based off Critical race theory and Social Justice Theory - neither is based in research. They are theories that are based of personal experience and political ideas. The idea of "justice" is rooted in well researched philosophy and linked to internal rationalisation but "Social" justice takes the individual responsibility and replaces it with whatever social/political feelings within society at any given time. True justice is an internal construct. Most companies, universities, schools have OUTSOURCED these racist programmes to companies who are politically motivated or earning money of Equity and Diversity Programmes. The minute you start throwing statistics about in terms of inclusivity, you are being RACIST. You do not have the RIGHT to be included because of your race. You earn your place because or your skills, experience. It is not only BLACK people that should have the right to bring, "their authentic selves" to work! Ask any white person who comes to work and emotionally manipulated, threatened and abusively put through these programmes. Soon these organizations will feel the shame of going down these routes to please the single minded people who believe they are victims and have a right to privilege based off race. What rights do white people today have that Black people don't? In my opinion making a lot of noise and threatening to expose someone as racist to climb the ladder has a deep flaw : self-esteem does not strengthen off the back of . These "personal minded" pursuits propel the individual but let down the group. Just look how self-entitled and victim minded many black people have become since these programmes have taken off. Look how much worse race relations have become. We should look beyond race at the human being. But of course these racist/political programmes suggest that "structural bias" and "unconscious bias" can not be measured but exist because it suits their weak claims not to be challenged. Suddenly, the statistics they throw about are not needed! They reject "racial blindness" as a term because they WANT to focus on race rather than the person/human. This whole POLITICAL movement has entered schools, universities, companies and has been made possible by ABUSIVELY pushing the buttons (white guilt) of people who have NO ADVANTAGES to them today and people who have been difunctionally made to feel responsible for injustices they were not part of. "No white man is a slave owner in America today and no black man is picking cotton". This gravy train is going to derail soon!
Hi! Thank you so much for the info provided here. I found it very helpful, however. I have a question. I have a BS in African American Studies and Masters in US History. I am interested in diving into the D&I field. However, would you suggest the aPHR in addition to an D&I certificate or simply D&I or aPHR certificate paired with my education to secure a a great opportunity? I would love to hear your take on this!
A BS in African American Studies....Too late, your indoctrination is too deep and you are too far gone, nevertheless, you'll fit right in with the DEI grift/industry. But why did you waste time with a college education when all you needed to know is "Don't hire straight white men" to work in that industry. Damn, I could have saved you $100,000.
So you are a professional useless person. And you want to know how to spread more racism and discrimination, I mean diversity and equity…. Good for you.
Hi there! From my perspective DEI and HR are separate fields. I think an HR cert can help, depending on what your area of focus is. But ultimately, experience it's what's needed. Certificates are nice to offer frameworks and theory, but the practical implementation and experience is what will help the most. Hope this helps!!
Good pitch for communism and socialism,,, I say we work on building communities by using less social media . Your either a good person who looks at the world with an open mind. Or you want to control what people think and feel.
Lol equal access to resources, that will never happen. There will always be fast trackers and dead enders. Always. And it is not about race. Its about skill, commitment, and personality.
@@AdrieleParker the Irish were treated worse than their counterparts as they were not genetically gifted enough and left to die much faster. Where do they sign up?
Institutionalized racism. If you are basing hiring decisions on race, it is racism. I know that I won't purchase a product from a racist company / organization.
I get a different sense of equity by how you phrased it - I like the bike analogy. It won’t mean that all the different bikes will allow the same speed of travel, or the same distance traveled - we just need to give each person the bike that allows them to travel optimally as far and fast as they can. Would that be a proper understanding of what you’re getting across?
When I use the bike analogy, I'm usually leaning more so on the usability of the bike and less so about the speed or distance traveled. Let's say that there's a group of 4 of us going on a bike tour. The bike rental store only has one type of bike (they're the same exact frame size) and we're all told to make it work. If someone of a small stature or larger stature attempts to ride the bike, it's likely going to be a challenge for them, if not impossible. And then let's say that one of us uses a wheelchair for mobility. Using that standard bike is absolutely impossible as is. That approach is equality. If we want to leverage equity, we would take into consideration the physical needs of each person. A smaller bike frame for the person that needs it, larger bike frame for the person that needs it, and a hand-pedaled bike for the person who uses a wheelchair for mobility. So it's still fair, we're all receiving the same thing-a bike-, just one that works for us individually. Hope this helps!
@@nicholasgrijalva5842 It is supposed to be about everybody getting equal outcomes regardless of how much they put in, and regardless of merit - which is bad enough, but really what it's about, is discriminating against white males to make up for past (perceived) injustices, that they had no part of. The "D" part of DEI is actually about control speech and preventing criticism of this dangerous ruse.
@@nicholasgrijalva5842 He has unwrapped the whole movement much more since this was made, but here is a link to a decent overview if you are wanting to know what DEI is. ua-cam.com/video/3jLNgLABuTw/v-deo.html
@@nicholasgrijalva5842 And here is an interesting and thorough conversation from the National Association of Scholars, about DEI and how it is taking over American universities. ua-cam.com/video/q_zgInEpoc0/v-deo.html
Hopefully someone with some common sense bans all DEI training all across the USA. Leave that awful, destructive bs for some gullible socialist country.
Thanks for the information. I'm now considering DEI as a career path. Don't let all of these negative comments affect you. They're mad because the playing field has been made more level.
Yes, working to get through school and college, going into debt, and being told you need not apply based on race is very nice. I really enjoy paying for the sins of those that came before me, thankful the one life I have to life can be spent homeless and being told how privileged I am while if I were literally any minority or other gender I would qualify for grants and subsidies. Instead, I only had meritocracy scholarships, and no rich parents to help. And knowing it's people like you going around and poisoning the well is very reassuring. I'm sure that if you ever saw a board of execs, or really any workplace, that entirely lacked white men, it would be celebrated. You would see a group of all female, all brown, all dressed the same, but that's "diversity", and it's a "good thing"
The comments section shows why this work is needed (for anyone that needed a reminder, that is). It's just a shame that those that need the work the most will never do it. Thanks for this video, it is very helpful, Adriele.
People are frustrated after putting in work for years that someone else gets to cut in line due to their skin color? And voicing that frustration proves why it is needed? I'm Native American and have lost a job to affirmative action. What makes me guilty enough to bear the sins of someone else who owned slaves 150 years ago? You don't think enough people will become sick of the outcome and just stop putting in the work?
No. It's as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I'm one of the ones who completely rejects this nonsense, will not attend these silly courses, and will not comply with their mandates.
@@Flintlock1776 No one can justify it. Take it to court, law beats DEI every day. Just witnessed a lawsuit against Electrolux the appliance manufacturer who tried their DEI racism. It ended very badly for them.
I think courses can be helpful, for sure, and depending on the role it could make someone a "better" candidate. But for some roles, it may not be a priority (e.g. perhaps someone needs a good DEI project manager, in which your skills as a project manager in a completely different field would be more useful than specific DEI skills). Hopefully this helps! I'll be posting another video on skills needed in the next week or so!
Now never forget....only straight white men must be replaced. Abide by this simple precept and you'll make a wonderful DEI project manager. You go grrrlll!
So who do you want to discriminate against first? Who’s the target of your first ‘project’? Hahahahahahaha Hopefully DEI gets banned in every state in America. Soon!
Hire the best most qualified person for the job. Period. DEI is either there or it is not. If DEI is your focus then you will MAYBE get the average somewhat qualified candidate for the job.
That is by the assumption the interviewer treats all the candidates from all backgrounds the same. The truth is, the minorities and women were not given fair treatment at the beginning in a lot of cases. Watch the test of how a person with exactly the same resume content gets a totally different number of calls and requests for interviews when using a minority name vs a common white person's name. This is one of the issues the DEI program trying to solve.
Imagine these airlines hiring based on identity and not skill. Like the pilots skin pigmentation or gender is what anyone gives a shit about when flying the plane. "DEI" is legalized discrimination and these peoples aren't even ashamed of it.
Totally missing the point. DEI doesn't eliminate hiring the best candidate for the job. It means making sure that you find the best candidates by eliminating barriers. It amazes me that some people feel so threatened by this concept.
@@AdrieleParker It was communist nonsense with a sprinkle of racism. That’s what is is to smart people. To gullible leftists, it actually means what you think it means.
Young lady, this saying is asking, someone, you talk the talk, but do you walk the walk....What that means is, you have a big mouth and if you keep it up, you best get ready to back it up.....This saying has been used to put people in their place without insulted or challenging them to a fight.
I’m confused how all of the people who are anti in the comments even found this video… I guess they are demonstrating for us why this work is important. Thanks for making the video.
These are mandatory trainings now. Folks are sounding off in comment sections as to their views on it. As you just did with your opinion. DEI is useless
The correct term I believe is D.I.E. it's where our culture and education system goes to die. DEI uses racist ideologies in order to 'fight racism'. You have to use favouritism for some and inequity and biast partiality for others in order to artificially force equal outcomes (wow how 'inclusive'). People of colour are allowed to be proud and celebrate their culture, ethnicity and race whereas people without colour (also known as white people) are only permitted to express shame for their race, their culture and the achievements of their ancestors. . . . what a horrible, divisive and dishonest way to make a living.
As a Black woman I don't have the power nor the authority to be racist. Also, I can't speak for everyone that does DEI work, but it goes far beyond race.
@@AdrieleParker muddying the linguistic waters and redefining words is part of your disengenous movement. I expected you to say that you couldn't be racist (because you have redefined the meaning of racism) It's all bullshit by the way. Your definition of racism gives you a free pass to be as racist as you wish.
Thank you this was very helpful. Can you suggest any additional literature - books, videos that may be helpful to expand my knowledge of DEI and the path to a career in DEI
So sorry for the delayed response! I'm still a solopreneur and had to deprioritize UA-cam a bit. Honestly, there are tons of resources (HBR, Catalyst, Stanford, Udemy-shameless plug, I added a DEI 201 course there a month or so ago that's received some great feedback). But truthfully, the best way to expand your knowledge and build a career in DEI is to just dive in and do some hands-on work. If you currently work with/at an org/company, I suggest trying to get involved with any DEI efforts that are going on OR to start gathering folks together to work on them. You may also consider leveraging your existing, transferrable skills to find an entry-level DEI role as well. I hope this helps!
I couldn’t be a DEI professional because I am not able to faith. I don’t have the capacity to believe things that make no sense. Some people can. They are very religious.
After reading the comments of some of your channels trolls, I will definitely pursue coaching in this space. The fear of understanding and power sharing is an epidemic in the minds of so many! Those of us who get the importance of building a world that works for most, must work tirelessly to educate as many as possible and represent DEI with excellence everyday! Thanks again!
Hopefully this toxic leftist propaganda gets banned in the USA before it destroys it. The fact that you people think you’re being anti-racist, by being racist, is so ironic it’s disgusting.
@@thatonegirlelaine Oh, look, our princess Elaine is trolling this comment section and here she even put a cute widdle "lol"....that'll show us, she brave and stunning!!!!!
@@thatonegirlelaine If you took my comment for a compliment, then you're even more clueless to the world around you than originally thought, and that's saying something. Now begone Karen.
Thank you for a wonderful and insightful video. I personally believe that the two most powerful tools that we possess as humans to combat discrimination, bias, and prejudice are the capacity for deep communication and empathy. While no two persons are the same, and we will never know what is like to live their lives, we can get closer through empathy. Empathy allows you to walk in the shoes of another person, it empowers you to see beyond your own bias and take on a different perspective. This is an important attribute to possess as a marketer because there are market segments that interpret data differently than we might. It is important to be conscious and sensitive to intersections and foster diversity and inclusion with the choices we make and for the consumer.
The most powerful tool to combat discrimination, bias and prejudice is to not hire a specific gender and race? Oh, fah sure, that should work. You need to walk in the shoes of a straight white man nowadays, it would empower you to see beyond your own bias and take on a different perspective.
You do realize that ‘equity’ literally IS discrimination. Right? I mean, you get the grift, right? You’re not just that oblivious, you do know the grift.
Omg the haters are so real!!!! 😂 DEI is not going away as much as they love to think that. But for once it's a field that is not meant to benefit one ethnicity and one gender and they're mad. Hysterical! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AdrieleParker Yeah, I forgot all the asian and white men in DEI. No - It's a fake scam job based on race. You're too stupid to actually create value for an organization so you bully them under threat of racism. If blacks are so smart - why can't they finish an engineering degree? Why scam companies this way?
Just want to say thanks so much for this video, it was exactly what I needed. I’m in secondary and higher ed with a humanities PhD and am applying to a DEI management position.
Thank you! I am really interested in going into this field because as a black woman, I am appalled to see that most of it is just lip service! It is just trendy but not happening on the ground!
It can be really frustrating! A lot of folks, especially once they realize how much effort real DEI takes,-as it's a lot of learning and unlearning, dissecting and rebuilding processes and systems, etc.-end up resorting to the "low hanging fruit" or check the box efforts. It's unfortunate, but I try to remain hopeful that we'll continue to find ways to see real change and progress happen. We just need to continue iterating on the approach. So happy to hear another Black woman joining this space ☺️, just please be sure to protect your energy ❤️
DEI-A: i have seen the A stand for ANTI-racism. and also for Accessibility … This video is helpful because transitioning to this meaningful work is my goal. the Conference Board study is a great takeaway!
Same! In an ideal world people will inherently be thinking about an integrating DEI into whatever it is that they're doing, and won't need folks like me.

HR positions specializing in DEI are proportionally experiencing a higher rate of layoffs. Finally things are heading in the right direction.
The most important aspect of the job is: to justified why your boss should waste any money on you
Yes, exactly!
Why? Because your tax dollars will go towards making the laws that require DEI everywhere.
That is why.
Any comment on the SCOTUS realization that affirmative action is not legitimate per our country's great constitution?
Your views align with the views of megacorporations. 🤔
Always record DEI meetings, defamation is illegal.
I'm looking forward to DEI becoming ever increasingly marginalized and recognized as the decisive ideology that it is.
It's a highly divisive and unproductive corporate policy.
Requirements for working in D.I.E:
1. Ability to discriminate due to in colour
2. Ability to discriminate due to sexual preference or orientation
3. Ability to ignore qualifications and experience to focus on virtue signalling and quota filling.
4. Need to divert heteronormitive people from employment or promotion opportunities to promote hiring and promotion of members of the LGB community
5. Need to include underqualified or sub par employees in positions they are not best suited to in order to present as good employers on Twitter
6. Desire for equity rather than equality in pay structures, hiring practices or company culture in order to appease the radical left, for whom no amount of effort to become "woke" will be enough.

@@AdrieleParker Your admitting that you're a racist.
It is 100% a grift. I wouldnt sleep well at night doing this type of work

Again, still alive 😌
Skills Required to be a DEI manager:
1) Black
2) Demand 6 figure salary
Thats it
their main job in DEI dept is to tell each dept heads that they don't have enough dark color in their head count and DEI manager will work with HR to remind dept heads that their next hire has to be a dark color person and make sure to tell them it's their responsibility to protect their DEI headcounts.

A native of Ethiopia, he was enslaved at a young age and later presented to the first chief harem eunuch (term 1574-1591) who manumitted him and set him on the path to a judicial career. In his treaties, drawing heavily on Arabophone authors of earlier centuries who addressed this topic, Mullah Ali attempts to counter widespread popular belief in the "curse of Ham", which had been adapted by early Muslim theologians from the story in the Torah book of Genesis. According to the Muslim version of the story, Noah's son Ham mocks Noah for exposing his nakedness during a drunken stupor; on awakening, Noah curses Ham with black skin and declares that his descendants will serve those of his two brothers, Shem and Japheth, as slaves. Mullah Ali takes pains to demonstrate that the skin colors of the world's various peoples were created equal, and that piety and good deeds measure a person's worth.
He rose to such power that a French ambassador described him as the person who truly ran the empire.
I'm all for diversity and equality. Just so long as the equality is not a demand for an equality of outcome. If ever that should raise its ugly head, I no longer want the diversity. It has become a negative.
@Richard Hoffman when people were warning their own people of the extinction of their own kind, it has been brainwashed that whte people don't have culture and that we are inherently bad so our own demise will be cheered on by the brainwashed other whte people until it will be too late.
It’s not diversity that has become negative, it has been the media that has been trying to push this propaganda.
Thank you for making this video! It is crazy to me seeing these comments and the way people think.

Division. Exclusion. Intimidation.
Please elaborate!
@@AdrieleParker Sure! Division. Separate white men from all other race, ethnic groups, and women.I saw an job ad for an HR job that said "women and minorities strongly encouraged to apply." Exclusion. Deny white men the same equal protection as women and other races and ethnic groups. My DEI director friend could not answer my question if DEI measures and practices included white men. The answer, yes, should have been easy. Intimidation. Browbeat and denigrate any white male who objects to or questions this process. Read some of these comments and try to remember if you ever heard any of these comments from coworkers in the workplace.
@@AdrieleParker
I prefer to go with Discrimination, Intimidation, and Exclusion.
At Microsoft there is an incentive to hire based on race and sex for executives. This is discriminatory.
If you disagree you are promptly fired and/or people threaten you. See James Damore, the previous head of DIE at Apple, Bret Weinstein, etc. This is intimidation.
They do not allow resource groups to be created for men, Asians, or whites (a group tried). This is exclusion.
You should know how to apply unequal standards to impose proportional representation and equal outcomes in favor of protected minorities, regardless of merit, competence, or qualifications.
Is that what you’ve seen?
It’s definitely what I have seen. And it’s absolutely in line with what the Critical Social Justice philosophy advocates. If you read their activist literature, they say this very clearly and unapologetically.
Ding ding ding ding. Winner!
@@AdrieleParkerI like this take on the world attitude. You can create equity in society without drinking the kook aid of DEI.

You need skills for lifelong welfare? Equity, diversity, and inclusion is just that: lifetime welfare with watered down standards (If any) for thee. Free education, free career (Can’t be fired) for life. Must be nice to be a protected class, with a lifetime of freebies.

Very interesting comments on this video. Thank you, Adriele Parker, for leaving the comments on this open. I think the recent challenges to DEI, as an institution purporting support for positive systemic change, have been very helpful at illuminating the background and unspoken aims of those supporting and framing DEI. The motte-and-bailey is being understood in the simplest ways. I hope you learn the well-reasoned perspectives of key experts of what you may wittingly or unwittingly support… I think the detractors of DEI run amok have done an excellent job exposing the underbelly of an institution that works tirelessly to appear innocuous. Think; James Lindsay, Bret Weinstein, Peter Boghossian, Jordan Peterson, Nicholas Christakis and countless others. Thanks to DEI overreach, the population is sitting up and taking notice. The comments here show it.

@@s.l.george7348 , agreed.
I’ve applied for a DEI manager position. But I’m really curious what a day in the life of a DEI manager looks like… can anyone explain? Meetings, program analysis, phone calls? Like what’s the avg day to day work load like.
Selling the prescribed course to a business. You tell them they have a problem they didn't know they had, and you are the solution, and it's of dire importance.
you do nothing, you spend you time resolving the problem that you told them they had but did not know...
So when are you going to share DEI with Somalia?
It seems to me like people are bored and have nothing to do. What are you trying achieve? If I own business it's my decision who will work in and who not. I will not employ 50 % women just because someone says.
It is your decision. And why we aren’t working together. Do you! 🤷🏽♀️
Skills you need to work in DEI:
Number 1 - make sure you aren’t white
It's sad that the way you made it sound so simple is literally the most accurate definition I've heard to date.
Wife works in DEI- out of 10 people none are white & there are only 2 men. She works from home because of Covid & it is endless meetings & buzz words.
Why the need for DEI in other words what is the problem we are trying to fix ,and secondly what is the measurement for a sucessfull DEI organization
The problems and solutions vary. For example, it could be a lack of representation in an org that's leading to them creating products that are exclusionary because they lack diverse perspectives. Or it could be a company has hired a diverse group of people, but the systems and process that currently exist were designed by and for a homogenous group. Which is one of the reasons why we need DEI...
We need DEI because a lot of existing systems and processes were designed by and for majority groups.
There is a world in which we don't need "DEI" as a standalone. For example a brand new company could, from jump, think about hiring different types of people & taking on different types of clients/customers. They could think about fairness and inclusion as they design and implement their structures, internally and externally. But rarely does that happen.
DEI should be integrated, but for a lot of orgs, especially existing orgs, it's much easier for them to throw some DEI "initiatives" at existing problems, vs create comprehensive strategies to integrate DEI thinking/design into existing problems.
It assumes that because whites were the majority, then they built systems that only favor whites, and thus are over-represented. Their goal is to have fewer white males in spaces, regardless of merit, because they want to be more inclusive.
They will never protect a white man. They will never advocate for a white man. To them, you are part of a monolith of oppressors that have it all handed to them and get preference in everything you do, and that it's systemic and has to be dismantled. It assumes any grievance you have with this philosophy is due to "losing social status and power", no matter if you were born in the last 20 years and are just now coming into adulthood. Because (some) of your ancestors may have had it better, you will be excluded and rejected to make up for it.
You're being punished for the sins of your fathers, whether or not they actually committed them, because they view you as an oppressor. The problem. The enemy.
“There are a number of different DEI variations out there“…
DEI is reinterpreted in many different ways depending on the person, organization, and context.
Your description of DEI Sounds good. There certainly are people who are treated unfairly. Burn victims, the ugly, even left-handers are all at a disadvantage.
But that’s not what I see coming from different organizations. What I see is the promotion of race, sex, and sexual proclivities.
I see very little psychological or intellectual diversity welcome. In fact, I feel very unwelcome and very hated by the mere fact that I disagreed with the vast majority of DEI agendas.
Diversity and inclusion is the exact opposite of its words. It’s applied as to identify those matching underrepresented criteria then divide the rest into allies and enemies.
Equity usually means equality of outcome. That is the exact opposite of being fair to all.
I want never to be hired on the basis of any underrepresented characteristic any more than I wish to be excluded for such. I want to be hired only for my merits and what I can bring.
But when I wrote that on LinkedIn, I received only vitriolic replies, including the admonishment no one should hire me ever.
The fact that DEI is open to interpretation is part of the grift. They will never define consistently what they mean in order to allow for any manipulation or bait and switches. Having multiple meanings of words allows you to do things while simultaneously pretending you are doing something else. Because if they were to consistently define what they mean then:
1. the benefits of DEI are so miniscule and common sense that nobody would bother wasting money on it
2. The ugly side of DEI, which outweighs the pretty, would instantly repel people from hiring such positions.
Interesting.

DEI looks at the color of someone's skin as a qualifier for a job. DEI is the essence of discrimination, and should be outlawed.
Alsobit discriminates based on sex and gender too. So much discrimination against men in favor of women wven in campanies where men are in the minority of employees.
This did not age very well.
"Diversity" - but not diversity of thought........ "Inclusion" - which systematically excludes people with the wrong political views ... ......"Equity" - which is a commitment to (what's seen as a positive variety of) racial essentialism, but which fosters much worse racist attitudes (due to DEI's commitment to race politics and even a mild and non-violent version of a race war)..... Ultimately, DEI is about political power, creating DEI jobs and sustaining them (as this particular video shows), and moral grandstanding.
Equity and Diversity is based off Critical race theory and Social Justice Theory - neither is based in research. They are theories that are based of personal experience and political ideas. The idea of "justice" is rooted in well researched philosophy and linked to internal rationalisation but "Social" justice takes the individual responsibility and replaces it with whatever social/political feelings within society at any given time. True justice is an internal construct. Most companies, universities, schools have OUTSOURCED these racist programmes to companies who are politically motivated or earning money of Equity and Diversity Programmes. The minute you start throwing statistics about in terms of inclusivity, you are being RACIST. You do not have the RIGHT to be included because of your race. You earn your place because or your skills, experience. It is not only BLACK people that should have the right to bring, "their authentic selves" to work! Ask any white person who comes to work and emotionally manipulated, threatened and abusively put through these programmes. Soon these organizations will feel the shame of going down these routes to please the single minded people who believe they are victims and have a right to privilege based off race. What rights do white people today have that Black people don't? In my opinion making a lot of noise and threatening to expose someone as racist to climb the ladder has a deep flaw : self-esteem does not strengthen off the back of . These "personal minded" pursuits propel the individual but let down the group. Just look how self-entitled and victim minded many black people have become since these programmes have taken off. Look how much worse race relations have become. We should look beyond race at the human being. But of course these racist/political programmes suggest that "structural bias" and "unconscious bias" can not be measured but exist because it suits their weak claims not to be challenged. Suddenly, the statistics they throw about are not needed! They reject "racial blindness" as a term because they WANT to focus on race rather than the person/human. This whole POLITICAL movement has entered schools, universities, companies and has been made possible by ABUSIVELY pushing the buttons (white guilt) of people who have NO ADVANTAGES to them today and people who have been difunctionally made to feel responsible for injustices they were not part of. "No white man is a slave owner in America today and no black man is picking cotton". This gravy train is going to derail soon!
Hi! Thank you so much for the info provided here. I found it very helpful, however. I have a question. I have a BS in African American Studies and Masters in US History. I am interested in diving into the D&I field. However, would you suggest the aPHR in addition to an D&I certificate or simply D&I or aPHR certificate paired with my education to secure a a great opportunity? I would love to hear your take on this!
A BS in African American Studies....Too late, your indoctrination is too deep and you are too far gone, nevertheless, you'll fit right in with the DEI grift/industry.

So you are a professional useless person.
And you want to know how to spread more racism and discrimination, I mean diversity and equity…. Good for you.
Hi there! From my perspective DEI and HR are separate fields. I think an HR cert can help, depending on what your area of focus is. But ultimately, experience it's what's needed. Certificates are nice to offer frameworks and theory, but the practical implementation and experience is what will help the most. Hope this helps!!

S T U P I D !!!!
Content of character is so passé anyway.
I get a different sense of equity by how you phrased it - I like the bike analogy. It won’t mean that all the different bikes will allow the same speed of travel, or the same distance traveled - we just need to give each person the bike that allows them to travel optimally as far and fast as they can. Would that be a proper understanding of what you’re getting across?
When I use the bike analogy, I'm usually leaning more so on the usability of the bike and less so about the speed or distance traveled.
Let's say that there's a group of 4 of us going on a bike tour. The bike rental store only has one type of bike (they're the same exact frame size) and we're all told to make it work. If someone of a small stature or larger stature attempts to ride the bike, it's likely going to be a challenge for them, if not impossible. And then let's say that one of us uses a wheelchair for mobility. Using that standard bike is absolutely impossible as is. That approach is equality.
If we want to leverage equity, we would take into consideration the physical needs of each person. A smaller bike frame for the person that needs it, larger bike frame for the person that needs it, and a hand-pedaled bike for the person who uses a wheelchair for mobility. So it's still fair, we're all receiving the same thing-a bike-, just one that works for us individually.
Hope this helps!

Yes, working to get through school and college, going into debt, and being told you need not apply based on race is very nice. I really enjoy paying for the sins of those that came before me, thankful the one life I have to life can be spent homeless and being told how privileged I am while if I were literally any minority or other gender I would qualify for grants and subsidies. Instead, I only had meritocracy scholarships, and no rich parents to help.
And knowing it's people like you going around and poisoning the well is very reassuring. I'm sure that if you ever saw a board of execs, or really any workplace, that entirely lacked white men, it would be celebrated. You would see a group of all female, all brown, all dressed the same, but that's "diversity", and it's a "good thing"

I think courses can be helpful, for sure, and depending on the role it could make someone a "better" candidate.

Hire the best most qualified person for the job. Period. DEI is either there or it is not. If DEI is your focus then you will MAYBE get the average somewhat qualified candidate for the job.
That is by the assumption the interviewer treats all the candidates from all backgrounds the same. The truth is, the minorities and women were not given fair treatment at the beginning in a lot of cases. Watch the test of how a person with exactly the same resume content gets a totally different number of calls and requests for interviews when using a minority name vs a common white person's name. This is one of the issues the DEI program trying to solve.
Exactly this, hire the most qualified person. Anything else is racist.
Imagine these airlines hiring based on identity and not skill. Like the pilots skin pigmentation or gender is what anyone gives a shit about when flying the plane. "DEI" is legalized discrimination and these peoples aren't even ashamed of it.
Totally missing the point. DEI doesn't eliminate hiring the best candidate for the job. It means making sure that you find the best candidates by eliminating barriers. It amazes me that some people feel so threatened by this concept.

You should know that your college/university is in danger of being defunded by donors/alumni/government over this divisive, tribal, philosophy.
The correct term I believe is D.I.E. it's where our culture and education system goes to die.
DEI uses racist ideologies in order to 'fight racism'. You have to use favouritism for some and inequity and biast partiality for others in order to artificially force equal outcomes (wow how 'inclusive').
People of colour are allowed to be proud and celebrate their culture, ethnicity and race whereas people without colour (also known as white people) are only permitted to express shame for their race, their culture and the achievements of their ancestors.

If you currently work with/at an org/company, I suggest trying to get involved with any DEI efforts that are going on OR to start gathering folks together to work on them. You may also consider leveraging your existing, transferrable skills to find an entry-level DEI role as well. I hope this helps!
I am glad you have chosen to pursue a career in racsim. Lets focus more and more on melanin
Any of George Orwell's books come to mind.
I couldn’t be a DEI professional because I am not able to faith. I don’t have the capacity to believe things that make no sense. Some people can. They are very religious.
Look at sourh Africa, its in decline because of nonsense like this
All you need is being black for DEI.
After reading the comments of some of your channels trolls, I will definitely pursue coaching in this space. The fear of understanding and power sharing is an epidemic in the minds of so many! Those of us who get the importance of building a world that works for most, must work tirelessly to educate as many as possible and represent DEI with excellence everyday!
Thanks again!
Hopefully this toxic leftist propaganda gets banned in the USA before it destroys it.
The fact that you people think you’re being anti-racist, by being racist, is so ironic it’s disgusting.
Oh wow, get over yourself. The bloated ego of a fake self-righteous activist.
This Weak ideology will end violently
It's already gotten violent. These people are openly racist and don't even try to hide it at this point.
Love the video I really appreciate the info.
Not info.
BS leftist propaganda.
LMAO
🤣😂
Outstanding post.....
Thanks so much for watching!
Outstanding leftist bs propaganda.
Helps to be a cultural Marxist.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion - three different words that mean the same thing, QUOTAS!
As well as the vilification of straight white men....just a sad way to go through life.
Lol
@@thatonegirlelaine Oh, look, our princess Elaine is trolling this comment section and here she even put a cute widdle "lol"....that'll show us, she brave and stunning!!!!!
@@hellogoodbye4061 Why thank you!
@@thatonegirlelaine If you took my comment for a compliment, then you're even more clueless to the world around you than originally thought, and that's saying something.
Now begone Karen.
Thank you for a wonderful and insightful video. I personally believe that the two most powerful tools that we possess as humans to combat discrimination, bias, and prejudice are the capacity for deep communication and empathy. While no two persons are the same, and we will never know what is like to live their lives, we can get closer through empathy. Empathy allows you to walk in the shoes of another person, it empowers you to see beyond your own bias and take on a different perspective. This is an important attribute to possess as a marketer because there are market segments that interpret data differently than we might. It is important to be conscious and sensitive to intersections and foster diversity and inclusion with the choices we make and for the consumer.
The most powerful tool to combat discrimination, bias and prejudice is to not hire a specific gender and race? Oh, fah sure, that should work.
You need to walk in the shoes of a straight white man nowadays, it would empower you to see beyond your own bias and take on a different perspective.
You do realize that ‘equity’ literally IS discrimination. Right?
I mean, you get the grift, right?
You’re not just that oblivious, you do know the grift.
very nice
Thanks, Mel!
Very racist
Very racist and ignorant.
But the rich-white liberals love it.
Keep black people on the Democrats mind plantation. 👍
Omg the haters are so real!!!! 😂 DEI is not going away as much as they love to think that. But for once it's a field that is not meant to benefit one ethnicity and one gender and they're mad. Hysterical! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well the #1 thing you need to be is a black woman. Yet you conveniently left that out.
Considering most leaders in DEI aren't Black women, no, I didn't.
@@AdrieleParker Yeah, I forgot all the asian and white men in DEI. No - It's a fake scam job based on race. You're too stupid to actually create value for an organization so you bully them under threat of racism. If blacks are so smart - why can't they finish an engineering degree? Why scam companies this way?
She bears that Cheshire Cat smile while we normal people are not fooled for a minute on this reverse racist program.
This video was fantastic.
Appreciate the support!
Just want to say thanks so much for this video, it was exactly what I needed. I’m in secondary and higher ed with a humanities PhD and am applying to a DEI management position.
Glad to hear folks are finding this helpful!
@@AdrieleParker do you ever feel guilty for being an equity hire? Because everyone makes fun of your competence
Thank you! I am really interested in going into this field because as a black woman, I am appalled to see that most of it is just lip service! It is just trendy but not happening on the ground!
I mean lip service in the workplace esp. corporates
It can be really frustrating! A lot of folks, especially once they realize how much effort real DEI takes,-as it's a lot of learning and unlearning, dissecting and rebuilding processes and systems, etc.-end up resorting to the "low hanging fruit" or check the box efforts. It's unfortunate, but I try to remain hopeful that we'll continue to find ways to see real change and progress happen. We just need to continue iterating on the approach.
So happy to hear another Black woman joining this space ☺️, just please be sure to protect your energy ❤️
Not happening on the ground, because employers know better than to pander to this nonsense. At least some do.
@@AdrieleParker "how much work EDI really takes"
Lol, what a joke.
@@adriant240 🏴☠️
Thank you for this extremely clarifying video. I will be sharing with the DEI committee at my job.
The DEI committee - every straight white man's greatest fear. A 'DEI committee"...sweet mother of God, everyone, I can not make this stuff up!
🤮
Hopefully your commitee wises up and disbands. This is so unAmerican, hopefully DEI gets banned in the USA.
This leftist bs is so toxic.
This is super helpful. Thank you.
Tysm for checking it out! More content to come :)
Brainwashing 101
It’s super destructive and discriminatory.
But go ahead sheep, believe it all
DEI-A: i have seen the A stand for ANTI-racism. and also for Accessibility … This video is helpful because transitioning to this meaningful work is my goal. the Conference Board study is a great takeaway!
@Ash Hegde Great question! It’s this type of question motivated by ableist fragility that is the reason ADA must be enforced.
@Ash Hegde Thank you for this feedback. This is a helpful opinion.
ANTI-racism by being racist towards white, I'm sorry but did you just assume all light skinned people are the same...
Does the A also stand for racism against white men? They seem to be the ones getting the shaft in this DEI grift.
Can’t wait until this ridiculous “career” goes the way of chimney sweeps
Same! In an ideal world people will inherently be thinking about an integrating DEI into whatever it is that they're doing, and won't need folks like me.
@@AdrieleParker The races will never be “equal”… especially if everyone wants to be in an environment where people “look like me”.
This is insanity.
Truly!
