You think its winning to call me racist while ignoring all the facts. You cant even comment on the fact that Biden himself called for more DEI hiring. You live in a fantasy world.
DEI hire

It's fascinating to watch.
They advocate for these policies.
They implement these policies.
And when attention is drawn to both, it's racist to do so in their view.
Its all about the ideology. Don't question it, don't disagree with it, don't ever admit inconsistencies.

You are putting way too much thought into this.
OP can't say the N word, so he uses DEI instead.
That's it. That's the whole thing.

Was Clarence Thomas' nomination to replace Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court influenced by the color of his skin?
If so, do you consider Clarence Thomas - using your terminology - "a DEI hire?"

It's funny because I don't hate you. I actually weirdly admire the fact you keep coming back to feed your goofy masochistic fetish. I also find it fascinating - is it like a diagnosed fetish to receive sexual gratification by being humiliated online and via text? I'd never heard of it before.You wear it well Torbee...
Own it!
Maybe a tinge of pity?
Anyway, it is just simply a fact that no other poster is disliked anywhere near the level you are.

You two should get a room. Have a little circle jerk with your MAGA hats on.
Thomas was appointed in 1991. I don't think DEI was even a thing then, so no I don't think he was a DEI hire. Race may or may not have had something to do with the hire, I don't know. I do think Ketanji Brown was a DEI hire though. Biden made it known that his goal was to increase diversity with his hires/appointments.
Vivek is part of the trump campaign and there is no way he is there to meet a DEI quota, he is there because he is damn good at what he does. There are a lot of black people who are not dei hires, there are a lot of black people who are dei hires and still were the best candidate for the job, and there are a lot of black people who were dei hires and were under qualified and also under performed. (this can be applied to any dei minority)
The fallacy about DEI is that not all people who are DEI hires are going to be good or bad hires. Some will be qualified, some will not. The downside of DEI hiring is that sometimes it is assumed that all minority hires are due to DEI and therefore people may assume they are unqualified.
DEI becomes a problem when you try to force a certain number of people into a specific position just to meet a quota. If you try to get more minorities into a position than there are qualified applicants, then you are forced to accept unqualified applicants just to meet the quota. This is not helpful for anyone involved.
Torbee,
You have a propensity to sexualize random subjects of discussion.
That's not normal behavior.

You and your MAGA pal aren't "random subjects of discussion."
We can all feel the sexual tension of your back-and-forth, mutual admiration society.
Go on and knock yourselves out boys!
Yes, there are various fetishes and kinks related to humiliation, embarrassment, and online interactions. These can include:
- Humiliation Fetishes: Some people have a specific interest in scenarios where they are humiliated or embarrassed. This can occur in various contexts, including online interactions.
- Online Fetishes: In the digital age, some individuals are interested in exploring their kinks through online platforms, which can include role-playing scenarios that involve embarrassment or humiliation.
- Submissive Dynamics: In some BDSM contexts, individuals may derive pleasure from feeling submissive or degraded, and this can be facilitated through online interactions.
- Embarrassment Play: This involves activities that deliberately cause someone to feel embarrassed or awkward, which can be part of a consensual role-playing scenario.
The people like @NorthernHawkeye and @Hawk_82 are so easily triggered because the playing field has been leveled a little. Rather than focus on making themselves more valuable to their employers they whine and pout about how they can't get ahead in life.
And somehow she was a county prosecutor and the AG of California?
Why do smart, successful women make you so angry?
This DEI conversation is tiresome, but I couldn’t let this pass.
What is it that Vivek is so good at, exactly?
LOL, she may have been picked to be VP but I guess the nation all decided her and Biden were qualified enough in the election. If America was too worried about they could have voted for Trump . . . Oh wait, looks like repeat of the last election.
From LA Times article dated July 2, 1991:
However, an Administration source familiar with Bush’s selection process told The Times that after Marshall announced his retirement last week, Bush went over a list of 12 to 14 prospective nominees, then told aides he wanted the names of all white males removed.
While the term "DEI" may not have been in vogue in 1991, any notion that it didn't exist in 1991 is flatly wrong. Hell, my father (a professional photographer) was told by a Chicago Tribune recruiter in 1968 during a UI on-campus interview that the Tribune was looking to add African-Americans to its photography staff. My Dad wasn't bitter about it . . . he simply stated "Chicago has the highest population of African-Americans in the country; I can't blame them for looking to hire those who have characteristics of a significant portion of their readership."
FWIW, the argument relating to "best" candidate always makes me roll my eyes. What exactly is the "best" candidate? I've served on our firm's hiring committee for 13 of my 15 years with the firm. Every year, we have a large number of phenomenal candidates. We have an occasional "outlier" who is clearly head and shoulders above the rest but, the norm is a choice among a group of candidates who possess varying strengths.
There is nothing inherently evil or wrong with including diversity, equity, and/or inclusion as values to consider in the hiring process.
DEI is being used as a weapon by the GOP to dog-whistle that unqualified or underqualified women are stealing jobs from men or that unqualified/underqualified African Americans are stealing jobs from white people.
With respect to benefits/jobs/spots being awarded to the "best" candidates/prospects, where is the f'ing outrage over legacy admissions, hirings based on "connections," etc. The old adage of "it's not what you know, it's who you know" didn't arise out of nowhere. I see a lot of people who decry DEI being part of an establishment who have no problem rewarding those in the establishment. Hell, the current GOP candidate didn't get into Wharton School of Business "on the merits." Seems awfully hypocritical for those who benefit from wealth and status to complain about DEI.
You are so far off when it comes to DEI...it's not just race, its gender and pronouns. You try to use anything and weaponize it so it makes you look better. And the robots follow, when minorities are against DEI it goes against any argument you have and it dries you out.

I presume it’s nature not nurture.

She's the veep. Regale us with what you do, Mr. Non DEI. Go.Dems here are claiming Kamala was not a dei hire. Since dems think dei is so great, shouldn't you be proud that she was a dei hire?
“If I’m elected president, my Cabinet, my administration will look like the country, and I commit that I will, in fact, appoint a, pick a woman to be vice president,”
"I am not committed to naming any but the people I've named, and among them are four Black women,"
Biden says four Black women are on his VP list but won't commit to choosing one
If elected, Biden, 77, would be the oldest president-elect, which has put an intense focus on his pick for a running mate.www.nbcnews.com
Sure seems like a lot of potential great candidates were not considered because they were not a woman or black. Remember that this pick came shortly after the blm riots where there was immense pressure to pick a black person. Sounds like dei to me.
