      It’s devaluing, because Boebert named diversity as a reason to hire Karine, not her professional qualities.

        You forgot the implication that black women couldn’t possibly be skilled or smart enough to be hired. Because they’re black. That’s the racist part. It’s devaluation stemming from racism.

          It appears that Boebert has said that about particular women, not all of them.

          So I wouldn’t necessarily imply racism here. Common devaluation - sure.

            Bad chatbot. You can’t switch between sexism and racism without even attempting to connect the two.

              Ok.

              It appears that Boebert has said that about a particular women person of colour, not all of them.
              So I wouldn’t necessarily imply racism here. Common devaluation - sure.

              Is that better?

              P.S. My first language is Russian, and we usually refer to a 3rd person by it’s gender. That’s why I defaulted with “woman” instead of more broad “person”.

        you’re almost there… just explain what kind of diversity and you should arrive.

                The original poster was saying that Lauren Boebert is racist for calling her a “DEI Hire”… not the concept of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”.

                  I just was being lazy and didn’t type the whole “DEI hire”. But I’ve meant it.

                  I think, being called “DEI hired” is not necessarily racism but a common devaluation / belittlement.

        Because one, LB has no idea of the qualifications or hiring process involved. And two, even if she did, believing the DEI is not a requirement to overcome racism in hiring is continuing to empowering racism. It’s still a big problem, whether it’s impacted you or not.
