How will the next generation handle increased DEI focus in hiring and enrollment?

Some people will dismiss this as paranoia, but this organized discrimination is becoming a bigger issue for people under 30 years old, and it will likely get worse in the future. DEI is clearly metastasizing across corporate America and within higher education. It's impacting everything from matriculation in medical schools to hiring decisions at major American companies.

Should we be trying to build a business or side hustle for the next generation to inherit? Should we be teaching them to work for themselves instead of for a company? Should we be teaching them to identify this type of discrimination and avoid entities that perpetuate it?

If you are Asian or white, are you doing anything in particular to help prepare your kids for increased discrimination around enrollment decisions or hiring practices by major companies? If so - what are you doing?

This shite will die out. It already has in my company. Peaked post-George Floyd in 2021ish, along with a push for everyone to work from home and people "silent quitting", now everything is rapidly going back to normal.


ETA:

It won't die out in places like California or New York where they have and continue to memorialize these things with legislation, but I will not be living there

End of the day, it's about money and prioritizing DEI over skill/experience will cost companies money.

Muldrow v. City of St. Louis SCOTUS decision may unravel DEI within the next decade or so

Yes. But know that the IRS will eventually harass them, depending on who is in office at the time.

This is a lesson that they need to learn on their own IMO.

I don't like to teach them something that will make them cynical especially as they are young and hopeful about the world. They will learn this lesson without me eventually. It's probably better that it happens later.

We will continue to sink into a 3rd world shitehole as DEI takes over. I feel bad for normal kids and what their quality of physicians etc will be. At least now they can demand an older doctor who still has skill and intelligence. I tell my kids to never see one who looks as if could be a DEI graduate.

A DEI manager and HR person just fired me. Both of them were inept, and it was evident that they were pleased as punch to be getting rid of me.

I now know that not only did they fire me, but he also interviewed and hired my replacement while riding in the car with me—another DEI hire.

I'm going to just do what Al Roker did .

quote:

Al Roker Entertainment of trying to undermine and avoid the mandate by having Black writers only touch up scripts that White writers wrote rather than hire Black staff writers.

“Instead of giving the chances to BIPOC writers as had been the plan, the story editor, repeating a strategy previously advocated and backed by Al Roker Entertainment management in writing, wanted to have ‘non-BIPOC’ writers write the stories, and then bring on a ‘BIPOC’ writer and after the stories/episodes [were] shaped, they could be ‘hand[ed] off to BIPOC writers,'” the lawsuit read.
