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.

    That doesn’t seem reliable. For one, we know information about the movie before it comes out. This means you can make preliminary judgements about the movie. They may be proven wrong later, but they are not baseless. And I don’t trust most people on the internet to judge a stranger’s character accurately enough to determine their motives behind a movie review.

      This means you can make preliminary judgements about the movie.

      This is what is known as “judging a book by its cover.” It used to be that people were warned against it.

      I would bet you think movie trailers aren’t trustworthy. You should if you don’t.

        Movie trailers reveal far more than a book cover does.

        Anyways, it’s not like this issue goes away after the movie comes out. People still have opinions and other people still judge if they’re based on anti-woke sentiment or not.

            Ok sure. To repeat, though:

              Once the movie comes out, it’s a different issue, actually.

              Because no one knows how “woke” a movie is based on a brief summary, let alone “we’re making a movie starring a woman as a superhero.”

                How is that relevant to evaluating someone’s criticisms of the movie?

                  It’s relevant, again, to evaluating someone criticizing a movie they have not seen because it hasn’t been made yet.

                  I am not sure why you are not getting this simple concept

                    a movie they have not seen because it hasn’t been made yet.

                    How can it be both not made yet and have come out already?

                    I am not sure why you are not getting this simple concept

                    This coming from the person who doesn’t know that “performance” can mean “profit” and insists on misinterpreting it as the actor-related meaning elsewhere in the thread even after being corrected twice lmao
