The Big Lie about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
townhall.com ^ | 4/9/2023 | Jeff Davidson

When my daughter was in high school, she sang in the school chorus, a group that included 80 students. After one town-wide performance, a woman wrote to both the school newsletter and the local newspaper, complaining that the chorus was “not sufficiently diverse.”

Diversity: Only Blacks Matter

In a written reply, my daughter took exception to this view. She conveyed that students of Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Malaysian ancestry, along with students of European ancestry, including Italian, Hungarian, Austrian, French, and Spanish, were among the chorus members.

Oh yeah, the chorus also had 12 African-Americans students and two Hispanic-American students, and a few students of mixed ancestry. Flash forward 16 years: diversity to the Left is now fully embraced as a euphemism for “black,” and the term as used today, has little relation to the original meaning of the word.

If you’re white, the Left has decided that you are an impediment to diversity. The wokesters among us, a highly prejudiced lot, regard all whites as one amorphous mass of people with no individuality, no distinct cultural backgrounds, and indelibly racist – especially prone to being anything but open to others. This supposition, of course, is balderdash, to put it politely.

I like to call the fidiots 'wokenistas'. And, "LIE" should be plural since there are so many of them out there being foisted upon 'folx' as "issues". "Follow the science" need not apply. One term I could do without ever hearing is "Walk a mile in my shoes!" Since 'they' know nothing about what others have been through, that is a false phrase to throw at others.

“She conveyed that students of Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Malaysian ancestry, along with students of European ancestry...”

If Greeks are not of European ancestry, what are they?

Greeks have an exclusion clause IIRC. LOL! They’re pretty close the the Euro-Asia divider.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then he’ll be barefoot and you’ll have a mile head start.

A variation of a P.J. O’Rourke quote..

Greece is not technically part of the Third World, but no one has told the Greeks.

All you need to know about DEI and other woke acronyms that direct corporations- they are hunting licenses. They authorize HR to fire or humiliate conservatives. There are zero conservatives running these departments.

A black professor said the 40 Million blacks living in the US make up the most prosperous black nation in the world. Where would they go to have it any better?

Me too. No sympathy here for the manipulative members of a race trying to get an advantage over the rest of American society. I think most folks are tired of the whining but have been cowed into silence by the media and Democrat politicians

This response is too much based on fact! Facts and logic are whiteness personified! Math is racist! Logic is racist! Objective truth is racist!

This is sarcasm as above, but the DEI absolutists claim the above with a straight face.

They demand we parrot their lies.

IF I were still working, I wouldn’t still be working. Just sayin’. It was swirling down the drain when I retired in 2011. I can’t imagine what it would be like now. Major aerospace/defense contractor company.

By the way. I saw you were ex-Navy. Are you one of the thousands of former military that retired to a quiet neighborhood only to have to move 20 or 30 years later because you no longer spoke the language of your new neighbors?

The whold damed thing is a lie. As such, it should treated as one giant MSNBC broadcast.

Nobody put a gun to the blacks’ heads and forced them to behave badly.
