A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.
- Yet Americans — and businesses — have a generally positive to at least indifferent view on the subject.
- On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.
What does losing money have to do with performances in a movie unless the performances are bad ones?
I believe they meant performance as in box office performance, like, how much money the movie makes.
I guess it’s up to them to clear that up.
I’m sure they will. I’m pretty sure I’m right though-- how could backlash to the movie affect the actors’ performances in that movie? That makes no sense. Backlash affects the reception to the movie, which affects the profit. If you reread the thread with that definition in mind, the replies to your comments might seem more reasonable/coherent.
No one is interpreting it that way.
What it looked like to me was that they were saying to me was that diversity meant that bad actors were hired.
I hope that wasn’t what they meant
It wasn’t. I’m talking about the backlash that these movies have been receiving from fans over overt DEI-related positions.
The original comment I responded to was FlyingSquid saying:
And I was pointing out a situation where that’s not necessarily true, where DEI narrows the customer base.
Thought so, glad we agree
