When will the old guard race hustlers go after her for misappropriation of their profession?

t's the defacto law of the land in the financial sector because of the control over lending institutions the progressive globalists have.
i have a friend that has worked for 3 different tech companies in the fortune 500. he has been with all of them at startups and then when VC comes in... we now get diversity training. he's bailed on some pretty good jobs because the culture just got too toxic and he got into it with a manager over putting pronouns on his LinkedIn 2 Junes ago.
what's funny is that the engineering for every company i work for is 99% white and Asian dudes. Couple of hispanic people in the RGV. Sales is almost always white dudes and women. i'm not saying anybody in the world couldn't be talented and capable of fulfilling those roles.
when you get to channel, fulfillment, project managers, TAMs, presentations, etc. that's where they backfill the diversity.
These VCs will come in with nice money and let you expand, but now they have spots on the board and force it down.
Diversity is good... when it's organic.

Pretty much every institution of the US pushes trans ideology and DEI themes.
The two films expose the lack of substantive depth to those crazes and the stupidity of those pushing it on the culture - largely by talking to major figures involved.
People mad about these movies are pretty much saying "No don't do any documentary filmmaking about these topics unless it supports the movements." Which is bizarre and the same people would never say that about say, LDS.

I just don’t see how letting the opposing opinion talk and hang themselves can be strictly considered propoganda
Well when you consider that the film is edited and certain parts often get omitted, it can lean to propaganda. I'm not saying that happened in any of his movies, as I haven't seen them. But we've all seen clips posted of politicians talking and it is edited to paint them in certain lights.
My main question for this movie was more the fact that discussion about the film portray it one way but clips and interviews portray it another. If Matt Welsh is just the right's answer to Michael Moore, than I am going to skip his stuff. If he's just a right leaning Borat than I'm down because it could be entertaining.

I think most firms are just covering their arse from litigation and mobs. At this point, corporate DEI is probably 90% about risk management concerns, 10% about ideologues in rouge HR departments pushing their true beliefs.
For the risk management side, bringing in speakers like DiAngelo is about having a defense if something goes wrong: “we hear your pain, and we’re trying our best to make sure our workplace is as inclusive as possible… just look at all the resources we’re devoting to DEI training!”
For the rouge HR side, there are likely some firms where the true blue university model of let’s identify extreme racism everywhere marxists have infiltrated their own little pocket in the corporate world. And they sneak in the extreme side DEI stuff where they think they can get away with it as part of their advocacy mission.
But I do think that latter category is a substantial minority… most firms are just covering their arse

I think he threads the needle between these two descriptions.
Walsh is clearly a clever, deadpan comic talent. But, the issues he raises in both of these movies are legit. DEI is destroying corporate America, and pushing unqualified people into positions that don't serve customers or shareholders. There's sincerity and depth to both of these topics, but Walsh still takes the piss out of them.

I have not seen a ton of Borat but I think it leans that direction. It is certainly more entertaining than preachy. Matt’s ability to stay stoic and not give anything away despite crazy answers to his questions in an interview is something worth seeing.
I’ve heard Am I a Racists exposes the separation between academics and normal everyday folks. They interview normal people then expose what the DEI folks are saying behind closed doors.

I don't mean to veer off topic, but I do want to say I agree with you 100% on that. There is plenty of people who want to make the everyday person think this stuff is a major threat to their way of life when in reality it's not. It's like the threat of communism in the 80's. You would have thought all your neighbors were secretly Russian spies with the way some people acted.

While this may not affect you or me, per say, there are places in this country where it is way more prevalent. They are making laws in certain states to this effect and none of it makes sense to a normal person.

To bring this back, briefly, to the trans issue: the most recent SCOTUS Justice (Brown) was asked during her questioning before Congress to define what a woman is. She responded that she couldn't because she wasn't a biologist. If you don't see the level of normalization to where a prospective (and then approved) Justice of the Supreme Court promotes such counter-reality points that it's impossible (or, at least, politically undesirable) to define something as basic as what a woman is (it's a human who was born with a vagina and has now reached adulthood) without some advanced degree, then you've already succumbed to the propaganda to the point where you can no longer discern reality.
Honestly should have instantly disqualified her, because how can she be on a case where sex is a major factor in it, and those cases end up in the Supreme Court all the time?
quote:
That sort of rhetorical foundation is what's used to create the argument that "the whole system is built on racism". By "the whole system", they mean everything. Math, English, highways, courts, laws, etc. Everything. Because of that, everything must be "rebuilt" with the goal of "equity" (the E in DEI, which is a fancy way of saying "equal outcomes" as opposed to "equal opportunities"). Anything where blacks do not achieve at the same level of whites (and now they include asians, at times) is then racist (by default) and must be changed in ways which allow blacks to achieve at the same level.
Ding Ding. DEI will get tons of people killed if we don’t stop it. It’s gotten to the point with United when I find out I have a woman pilot that I get very nervous.

My employer has never had any real DEI crap and my previous job was before any of this crap was mainstream so when it comes to a workplace environment I pretty much as clueless.
My company was bought out by a Fortune 300 company, and we have to do this DEI fricking bullshite training. Granted we are the most profitable division of the company right now, so they mostly leave us alone, but HR still makes me go through a yearly Maoist Struggle Session when I simply want to tell them to frick right off.

D.A.R.E. was propaganda even though all of us agree (hopefully at least) that kids shouldn't do drugs.
Yeah, D.A.R.E. is extreme propaganda because they make you think that all drugs are the same. Then when you do booze, tobacco, and marijuana and they aren’t that bad (at least for the first ten years), you start thinking the things they were saying about the other drugs are bullshite too, when meth, crack, PCP, fentanyl, and heroin are absolutely destructive and quickly destructive at that and will ruin your life.
quote:
But I was wondering if this movie would just be Bowling for Columbine levels of bullshite where he tries to pretend he's making a serious documentary or if it was more like Borat where he is finding the most extreme to mock them. Because I see comments comparing it to Borat, but I watch interviews and clips and it seems like he is trying to act like everything is a serious documentary about how crazy everyone on the left is.
It’s both. Maybe only 10% of the public agrees with it, but they’re running everything, and these animals need to be exposed for the monsters they really are.

Their belief system is so off the rails that it really doesn't warrant serious consideration.
It does when they hire pilots, engineers, military officers, and police officers over DEI shite. That can get thousands of people killed.

It is a mental illness. Caitlyn Jenner and Blaire White will openly tell you that they are mentally ill.
