Most Americans approve of DEI, according to Post-Ipsos poll (1 Viewer)

[j brown's body]

"A Supreme Court decision last year striking down affirmative action in college admissions unleashed a broad conservative attack on corporate efforts to achieve diversity.

Dozens of companies, including giants like Meta and Pfizer, are fighting lawsuits over their corporate diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs, many of them brought by conservative activists. Republican-led state legislatures across the country are considering scores of anti-DEI bills, and such efforts are poised to become a wedge issue in this year’s presidential election.

Despite those conservative attacks, most Americans approve of companies taking steps to address the historic inequalities in their ranks, according to a poll from The Washington Post and Ipsos. Roughly 6 in 10 Americans said that diversity, equity and inclusion programs are “a good thing” — and support was even higher for specific programs such as internships for underrepresented groups and anti-bias trainings. The level of support differed among racial groups, and one effort was universally unpopular: financial incentives for managers who achieve diversity goals."

The Supreme Court is remarkably out of touch with the views of most American people.

A tyranny of the minority.

Most Americans aren’t scared bigots

 

[Callen]

I really don't understand the attitude that have some over these programs. They are most definitely needed in the workplace. Inclusion and diversity is a good thing........

 

[snakestretcher]

Political grandstanding; opposition for opposition's sake, with a garnish of ignorance, racism and stupidity.

 

[americanwoman]

I think the benefits outweigh the negatives because there are going to be a few people out there who take it too far, like the one effort most people did not like of financial incentives for managers who achieve diversity goals.

You do understand that the SCOTUS isn’t supposed to make their rulings based on the popularity of the idea right?

 

[OrphanSlug]

Most American people could not tell you where "diversity, equity and inclusion programs" start and end.

DEI is discrimination and should be outlawed plain and simple

It is not discrimination it's the opposite. My guess is you really don't know what it is but rather have some distorted view from some RW news source. It's not about promoting minorities and women over white men. who feel threatened.

Do we want a Court that imposes laws on us that most people do not want?

"Law is not hard science. It is a codified set of beliefs comprising the rules that all members of society must live by. They agree to abide by those rules, and that agreement cannot be taken for granted. Adopting rigid jurisprudential methods that are divorced from people’s real lives and understandings, I fear, may undermine rather than strengthen that social contract. It risks distancing law from society, creating a system of internal logic that is useful to no one, unresponsive to contemporary life, and unable to safeguard our values and shared commitments. It threatens to weaken our commitment to the rule of law itself." - Stephen Breyer

Ideally we want a court that upholds laws that comport with the constitution and strike down laws that don't.

As has been mentioned, just because a law is "popular" does not mean necessarily that it is constitutional.

No court should be IMPOSING laws.

Thus is a bogus argument. We see the Court use the Constitution to come to contrary opinions all the time.

DEI is a system that hires based on skin color and gender and focused on excluding whites and males

that's discrimination

My guess is you really don't know what it is but rather have some distorted view from some RW news source. It's not about promoting minorities and women over white men. who feel threatened.

DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) is an ethos that recognizes the value of diverse voices and emphasizes inclusivity and employee well-being as central facets of success. To bring those values to life, companies must implement programs and initiatives that actively make their offices more diverse, equitable and inclusive spaces.


that's DEI >.. if a company doesn't have enough minorities and they're hiring, they must hire non-white and non-males ... doesn't matter if he applicants that are male and white are better qualified, they'll get overlooked to meet DEI

discrimination

Indeed, in today's America, the Supreme Court is supposed to make their rulings based on what Donald John Trump {pbuh} says they should do.

We cannot confront and resolve our racist legacy by ignoring it and not accounting for it.

 

[PoS]

LOL 6 out of 10 is a very slim majority, and if you look at the WaPo link, its a poll for blacks only.

Another lying lib article, which is par for the course.

How big of a majority must one have to matter?

Right, so the companies should continue their existing practice of preferentially hiring the people who are of the same skin color and gender as you are. That's **T*R*A*D*I*T*I*O*N**

Indeed, and if the company has 10 positions available and there are 100 qualified applicants and if 99 of those applicants are "W" while 1 is "B" and if the general populace is 90% "W" and 10%"B", then, naturally all 10 of those positions should go to the applicants who are "W" because the company has traditionally hired from amongst the "W" group and because the owners and managers of the company belong to the "W" group.

That is not discrimination - right?

It doesnt count because only blacks were polled, and even then its a razor-thin majority who supports it even amongst them. Take your fake news elsewhere.

That is NOT DEI. What you're describing is affirmative action. They are not the same thing. DEI are programs implemented in companies for existing employees to help promote tolerance and diversity. White men who oppose it are paranoid

nobody ever said that

here's a radical idea - hire the best person for the job

there - done

is that what we're doing, creating hypotheticals?

lets do this then - use ratios for companies/businesses diversity - every company has to follow the below percentages .... hiring based primarily and #1 on USA race percentages

that would be Amazon, Facebook, Verizon .... BLM, NAACP, NBA and NFL ... everyone follows the percentages. Deal ?

White	59.3%
Hispanic and Latino	18.9%
Black	12.6%
Asian	5.9%

sorry, its truth

and that's why Supreme Court ruled as they did

Simple really: MAGA is not the majority. All of this talk about DEI, CRT, "socialism", "woke", trans, drag queens, etc., all from loud and whiny Trumpsters.
