That would be awesome but it doesn’t address the issue unless you want to pretend lack of education and healthcare are the major barries holding women and minorities back in the workforce.
Equality and equity are not the same thing, systemic issues are baked into our laws and policies. Mostly geared at the lower socioeconomic status members of society.
Which tend to be minority members due to the very same systemic issues.
Some people need a different sized ladder to get to the same position.
Because it’s bullshit. It’s saying these disenfranchised people need help to better themselves and ignores the systems in place that work directly against them achieving success.
What’s your answer to this then?
Free education and healthcare for everyone, regardless of background, ethnicity and gender.

Women and minorities do not have the same access to education and healthcare.
I will admit that it is not the immediate band aid on the cancerous seeping wound DEI is.
It’s something that will take time.
They don’t have the same access to most shit white men do, that’s why things like DEI exist.
it can’t confront the root causes and still operate under capitalism.
DEI is just as useful as Unions at getting people a fair deal and just as useless at fixing the reason for their existence.
That’s great.
Now do equal opportunities for employment.
And how do we do that?
Equality and equity are not the same thing, systemic issues are baked into our laws and policies. Mostly geared at the lower socioeconomic status members of society.

Edit: an extra word
Progressive taxation.
Damn, bet nobody was expecting this reply!
I agree completely.

It also has nothing to do with DEI, which is generally about workplace culture and hiring practices.
It seems a lot of people are confusing DEI for affirmative action.
Required too.
