What if I told you that the primary beneficiaries of DEI were white progressive women, and the loss of their cushy, bossy, “bulls**t” jobs is the real reason for all the panic?
You’re already nodding in agreement, aren’t you?
The selling point for DEI — near as I can tell since lefties would rather accuse critics of racism than defend or sell their policies — is that DEI corrects historical racism, combats systemic racism, and gives businesses a competitive edge.
Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins made that last point a few days ago, claiming that “You cannot argue with the fact that a diverse workforce is better. There’s too much business value [in diversity].” It would be cruel of me to point out that over the last five years, shares in Cisco have underperformed the S&P, with an overall return of 42%. The S&P 500 grew 82% in that same period. Some value, eh?
True diversity of background, thought, priorities, etc., is essential for keeping a business innovative. But DEI is about enforcing progressive groupthink (secondarily) and an all-new category of iron rice bowls (primarily).
