”I'm not racist at all, but here's some
opinions.”
What? Behave around colleagues? What has that have to do with DEI? I'm starting to think you don't even know what DEI means or even how chuds use it.
I don't know what a chud is so you were right about something.
DEI from wiki:
[1] Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability.
Every normal person agrees with that. The problem is how that is actually implemented.
I've just come from a monthly info meeting our CEO gives. We are about to choose new people for the board of directors and he ended his meeting by saying that even though we decide who to vote for he'd urge us to think about diversity because our board of directors is not very diverse.
I'm 100% against that. I think the best person for the job/position should be chosen. Not someone who can tick of the right attribute box that has nothing to do with the work..
So yeah, you have no idea how chuds use DEI in this context. Saying you're ”against DEI” means you're against non-white, non-cismale characters appearing in video games. It has nothing to do with job positions or anything like that, it's just about the treats.
It's thinly veiled bigotry, and ”DEI” is just the latest chud buzzword to hide behind. Previously it was ”woke”, ”SJW”, ”PC”, etc.
