I'm not lying. Why should someone be denied opportunity because of their race or sex? A person's race or sex should not matter at all. When you offer opportunity to one and not another, you have to discriminate. Obviously. But that discrimination should in no way be based on race or sex. That's the point.
Lie about what? I'm saying that no one should face discrimination based on their race or sex. And the posters here attack me for such heresy.
Your first statement is a lie.

Do you not see the DEI contradiction? You're saying it doesn't discriminate based on race or sex. But then make excuses on why factoring race or sex is centrally important to DEI.
This just such BS. You're killing the individual. You're arguing that it's okay to be bigoted against someone solely because they have a disfavored race or sex. Nothing that the person, individually, has ever done. Jews killed Jesus.“Didn’t Earn It” and Other Lies: DEI Myths Debunked - YW Boston

Myth: DEI is reverse discrimination Reality: DEI levels the playing field DEI is characterized as “reverse discrimination” in situations where white people believe they are negatively stereotyped or discriminated against because of their whiteness – or treated less favorably than people of color. This claim ignores a core ingredient of racism and discrimination: power. DEI seeks to rebalance that power and ensure that those who have been historically disempowered or deprived of equal opportunities simply because of their identities should be given a fair and equitable chance to succeed. This does not equate to discriminating against historically dominant groups.
Then let's completely jettison race or sex from consideration; okay?
Uh, not focusing on that? Everyone falls into some protected class, you know.
That is not a policy. Try again. Something with objective metrics and consequence.
Focus on the individual? Regardless of our sex or race, each of us is unique. None of us should have our uniqueness disregarded because our race or sex is disfavored.
Which is exactly what I said when I said
Seriously, I say "discrimination is bad" and your immediate response is "oh, so you're saying discrimination is good?"
But you are promoting discrimination. There is no universal constant for "diversity." It is an entirely subjective abstraction. For you, Art, how many of what race or sex is too many of "those" people?
I deny the premise of your question. In particular, I deny your premise that there is such a thing as "those" people. That's the sort of thing that racists say and I'll have nothing of it.
But you don't deny that at all. What is "diverse" is not objective. Everyone has their own bias as to what "diverse" means. But to get to that nebulous "diversity," value judgments must be made based on race and sex. To be "diverse" you must purposely exclude. If that is all DEI is offering, exclusion under the guise of inclusion, it ought to be thrown in the trash.
