I think these initiatives had great intentions, as the saying goes, “road to hell is paved with good intentions”

We shouldn’t be “color blind”, but at the same time shouldn’t raise (or especially demote) anyone for their skin color

These initiatives are antithetical to what MLK preached, to much of the civil rights movement

And just like the scrum cult, once these systems are implemented, they understandably have motive to keep themselves “alive” and worth the investment.

That begs the question then, if there’s perfect diversity in a company, why would you need DEI? You’d only justify the cost if it’s a perpetual problem that will never be solved, one that every individual is conscious or unconsciously guilty of, and actions must be taken to curb the ever-encroaching perpetuation of anti DEI thoughts/behaviors.
