      If you feel this way it doesn't mean DEI is wrong as a concept, it just means that it isn't serving your demographic. Instead of writing it off with a clever phrase, explain how it excludes you. How you are intimidated. As a right-leaning minority, I've found myself frustrated not with the concept of dei, but how it's implementation from the left is biased toward leftist values. No one gets it right the first time. We need to work together, and it takes people that are willing to compromise.

    My company introduced DEI as part of our ESG strategy early 2022. Within two years, we have managed to increased women in leadership roles to almost 40%, and there are just as many people of color now in the office as white. Ironically, at the same time, staff turnover has increased significantly and the anonymous staff surveys shows overall satisfaction is declining, and bullying has increased. I have seen the company go from being open and friendly to biased and far more segregated. Last year we introduced a new hiring mandate that excludes men, that's right, we can only hire women.

Actually, they are worse, they assimilate or exterminate the local populations so ferociously, that in most cases no one even speaks their native tongues anymore. Also, it is not true that Western colonization has left those states behind. It has actually brought them medicine, civilization, the bureucracy, state building, western technology, food security and much more, that their populations have quadrupled in very few decades, and have stopped tribal warring. Western Civ has been a net positive for them. The reason they are poor and corrupt, has mostly to do with culture, not some western legacy. Kosovo has gone from abject poverty, oppression and almost tribal society, to the most democratic and safest countries in Balkan in 20 years, since its liberation. In 200 years or more, we will be just another rich EU country. What have they achieved in 200 years, except whine and blame the west, and receive enormous aid from the West? What do they want, to return to huts and savanas? Many countries that were colonized by the west are thriving today, and some are even better than the west. So its all about culture

    Let me illustrate what modern ideas of equity are like...
    I was an a relationship previously where my wife was physically abusive. One time I woke up with her trying to strangle me (she had mental health issues). Thankfully now I'm in a happy relationship, but do I have the right to try and strangle my wife now, out of equity? No. Why not? Because they are different people.
    Equity in modern thinking is trying to redress an injustice to one person, by creating an injustice for a completely different person. Discrimination can only be tackled at source, not by introducing discrimination to completely different people. It's external sinister the route that DEI is taking,.and I'm hoping it is made illegal because it is simply discrimination.

    Diversity is a style, but when it comes to power, who runs all these people, out in front. The speech also completely ignores any of the risks.

      I'm a Muslim guy and I don't support it. I lost out on a good job because the recruiter wanted an essay on DEI. DEI is doing more garm to the people it was brought to help.
