Not exactly a great burn, he didn't even say play for the Mavs. I'm sure the Mavs have a short white/Asian woman working for them.
You 100% know what he was saying and you're being intellectually dishonest about it
When someone talking about sports says "on the ___" they're not talking about the person tearing tickets for that team

Only black guys over 7 feet are the most qualified to be in the NBA? Your shite posting is getting pretty funny at least.
You are saying that you should expand your search outside a criteria that historically produces good prospects.

How many of the GOAT NBA players are over 7'? "Most qualified" doesn't equal tallest.

Which is the opposite of what DEI promotes.
Thanks for finally understanding Elon's point.
Again, the way you read DEI, or how you think it is implemented, that is how it works.

I do, and I'm on Elons side here. I'm just saying he messed up the burn. Not really that great of a roast when you mess it up.

So what do you need DEI for?
Ensuring that you are considering all of the potential candidates, and not just people that looks like you.

Here was full tweet which Cuban responded to Elon calling out DEI. Then Cuban made his statement which Elin replied to. Cuban is out of his league.

If you can't get past being pedantic then you will never get anywhere in life.

Again...the wiki definition of it
quote:
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (usually abbreviated DEI) refers to organizational frameworks which seek to promote "the fair treatment and full participation of all people", particularly groups "who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination" on the basis of identity or disability.
How do you interpret that?

So what's he promoting DEI for then when he doesn't use it himself? spin away

Oh, you're going with the "i'm stupid" deflection. Nice.
I may have assumed you were in this thread to do your usual contrarian thing, disregard if not.

Do you think Cuban directed his scouts to only look at Black guys over 7'?

I don't think it stands by hiring the most qualified, but certainly doesn't mean hiring unqualified people.
What does DEI mean to you? How is it applied in the real world at present?
