What’s worse too about DEI is that the entire premise of DEI is in itself de-motivating. It’s like saying hey the system is rigged against you but maybe we can help if we can get every company in the country to buy into DEI
Weee, that gets me stoked to try
Even if discrimination exists, it isn’t the ultimate killer of representation. The ultimate killer is a numbers game. There aren’t enough numbers trying. If we consider discrimination on a spectrum between 0-100 with 100 being “I will never hire a black person ever no matter how large the company” and 0 means “I never discriminate” let’s assume a hypothetical as half of all employers are between 20-80% discriminating or something
If 1000 people apply, and 80% are discriminated against, 200 still ge through
If 10 apply, and 80% are discriminated against, 2 get through
Discrimination sucks and can be subtle. Improving the numbers game isn’t subtle at all
