The "E" means "Equity". I still don't know exactly what this means but I know it's not supposed to mean Equality. I think it infers affirmative action. I think it's one of those terms that's vague by design.
I think the whole DEI movement is a great example. It's easy to say "we should hire a POC or woman for this position", it's not ok to say "we should not hire based on gender or race".
I was just thinking about this the other day in a happy hour call. People were asking about favorite christmas (crap can I even say christmas?) movies. I actually have one, but then I was thinking, this is an older movie, and who knows, maybe it's now controversial in some way. Were any of the actors caught up in a scandal that should make me now dislike the movie? People may judge that I like a movie with X terrible person. Honestly, I'd rather just not say anything.
