I work at one of those woke multinational companies. For us, DEI means that on top of having short online training courses for security practices, company policy, and compliance, we also have one for DEI. The answers to the DEI quiz are very easy. Just pick the answer that ISN'T being a dick to co-workers or clients. I'm guessing conservatives would fail that test.

Boeing also offers employees a “winter break” from the last weekday before Christmas until the first weekday after January 1, just like Woke Universities,

That makes business sense. Paying holiday round the clock time and a half or double time, and still be understaffed because people are sick or took vacation or called off to travel, it's as economical to just shut down and have a maintenence skeleton crew.

Back when airliners crashed every other month rather than every other year, all the pilots were white dudes.

One of the pillars of DEI, inclusion, is an umbrella that includes training, mentoring and opportunities to get good experience. It’s not just old fashioned “diversity” where you hired one black guy and then ignored him. Now it’s about training, development, incorporation, utilization and promotion. If you survive that process you are an asset to the organization.

I hope that's correct. You sure got the once-upon-a-time version right.

A strong Black woman who faced years of oppression and sexism to fight for her dream of becoming a pilot? Yeah, I'll fly on her plane.

If there's one thing that'll piss off alotta snowflakes in the rightwing media, it's Intelligent Black Women. God forbid they learn we invaded and conquered Florida and Texas to stop 3/5 people like their foremothers from running away to freedom.

I couldn’t bring myself to read all the hating stuff, but I did click on the link, where the woman pilot calmly asked to clear a runway because they were gonna have to come back. Now that, that was cool.

Sounds like we just need to start blaming all corporate malfeasance / mistakes on the fact that they're majority white.

Don't confuse us with facts. We need someone to blame. Now let's see if we can spin this one as "Black Girls stealing White Suburban Women's jobs".

I'd like to see Matt Walsh land a broken UH-60 in the middle of a firefight with his leg blown off.

Don't forget Challenger, unencumbered by any DEI/Dio/Opus Dei influence.

Before the Dobbs blowback, this was supposed to be the Republican SCOTUS issue for 2024 - DEI and racial preferences. They wrote these scripts las year, they just rewrote the preamble

This is just the dumbest fucking timeline. But not only that, when people with no shame are given media attention for playing with their own excrement in public, it just encourages more and more of their cohorts to do the same.

I always get my RWNJ news second hand. Damn, the name Xitter ([ʆiɂtə:]) sure is a fitter.

The War Against Diversity depends on the notion that white men are automatically superior to those of us who don't happen to be white men. If that's not true, then diversity vastly enlarges the overall pool of talent, which means there are more superior people available.

Can't have that, now, can we? Of course it would be even better if all children were given superior educations, superior healthcare, and superior opportunities so they would be superior. Let's try that for a change, shall we?
