What is DEI, and is it compatible with biblical principles?
Got Questions? ^ | none given | Got Questions?

DEI is an acronym for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” DEI is a concept in the business world designed to value people’s individual differences, ensure everyone has equal opportunities, and create work environments in which everyone feels welcomed and respected. The stated intention of DEI programs is to support people who come from varying backgrounds and give them the resources they need to thrive in the workplace.

Taken at face value, DEI aligns with biblical principles. It is good to value and respect people, support fairness, and allow opportunities. It’s the implementation of DEI that often causes problems, as the baseline for “fairness” fluctuates from merit to skin color or the “opportunities” are weighted more toward one demographic than another.

Nothing about merit, just feelings.

It is raw anti-white hate.

Pure evil.

“It is raw anti-white hate.”

I stand firm that every pro-DEI racist jerk should be forced to live for one week without the benefit of every item, service, etc., that was invented or introduced by white folk.

The early church in Acts tried DEI-based communal equality and sharing. Didn’t work out so well.

Normally I’m in agreement with gotquestions.org. However on this one I think they missed what DIE really is.

Looks like either a bunch of glowies undermining Christianity, or a bunch of Churchian cucks.

The purpose of DEI is to deny promotions based on merit. Instead award them to specific desired categories. It always results in incompetence and resentment.

I usually like the got questions website but they got DEI wring. DEI is first and formost about prioritizing physical differences like skin color above actual diversity gifts or talent.

It is not biblical in that the entire premise is to chose people specifically for thier physical traits or culture above the actual competence or gift.

They really are stretching this article far on DEI when they should be putting more effort into explaining how it violates the actual principles of inclusion, DEI today would put a lesbian in a ministry above a white make who is actually gifted from God for a ministry all to ensure someone feels seen or represented.

The article is a very bad sign for that website and where it may be headed.,

Would say Acts 4:32 to Acts 5:11 for starters.

DEI = Deliberately Hiring Idiots

... to satisfy quotas established by blue haired, virtue signaling, amorphous libtards.

"DEI" is a made-up misnomer.

Prove it to yourself: Do an internet image search for "vice president diversity equity and inclusion" and see what you get. After you look at the search response, you can ask yourself this question: How is it that black people make up 12% of the U.S. population but seem to have practically 100% of the VP of DEI positions? The list of corporate DEI VPs is the exact opposite of diverse, equitable and inclusive. Hmm. So maybe diversity, equity and inclusion has nothing at all to do with DEI programs.

OTOH, the DEI concept is a brilliant move by Dumb Democrats because you need literally no qualifications to be a corporate VP of DEI. Well, you must be black or maybe hispanic. But most corporations will prefer black candidates over hispanic candidates for the VP of DEI position. Remember, it's all about Dumb Democrats' "group politics" ... for the business world.

Dumb Democrats have pulled a fast one here: You can't call any of the corporate VPs of DEI "unqualified" to be VP of DEI ... because VP of DEI is a totally made-up useless position that has absolutely no job requirements. Anyone can do nothing, thus anyone can be a corporate VP of DEI. Everyone in the world is fully qualified for that corporate "position!"

What is DEI? Just another name for Affirmative Action or racism with good intentions.
