racist
: a person who is racist : someone who holds the belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
racist is someone or place that discriminates due to human traits:
DEI has been something intended to be good, but it ended up being a failure, creating more animosity. Many Blacks & Hispanics also hate it because it castes a poor reflection on those who can compete on their own.
DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, while generally intended to promote fairness and equal opportunity, can violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 if they involve discrimination based on protected characteristics like race, sex, or religion. The EEOC and DOJ have issued guidance stating that DEI programs can be unlawful if they lead to disparate treatment or create a hostile work environment.
What the Civil Rights Act Prohibits:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act:
This law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
Employers cannot make employment decisions (hiring, promotion, firing, etc.) based on an individual's protected characteristics.
How DEI Initiatives Can Violate the Law:
Disparate treatment:
If a DEI program explicitly or implicitly favors certain groups over others, it can be considered illegal disparate treatment. For example, if a program limits participation in workplace groups or training to specific protected groups, it could be discriminatory.
Hostile work environment:
DEI-related training or policies can create a hostile work environment if they are discriminatory in content, application, or context.
Reverse discrimination:
The EEOC clarifies that discrimination is prohibited regardless of whether it favors a majority or minority group. So, a DEI program that favors one group over another based on protected characteristics can be considered illegal "reverse discrimination".
Examples of Potentially Unlawful DEI Practices:
Using quotas or "balancing" the workforce by race, sex, or other protected traits.
Basing employment decisions on the preferences of clients, customers, or coworkers.
Limiting participation in workplace groups or training to certain protected groups.
Important Considerations:
Intent is not a defense:
Even if a DEI program's intent is to promote diversity, it can still be illegal if it leads to discriminatory outcomes.
DEI is not a protected category:
While DEI initiatives are common, they are not a protected category under the law. The focus remains on preventing discrimination based on race, sex, etc., as defined by the Civil Rights Act.
Opposition to DEI can be protected:
Opposing discriminatory DEI practices can be considered protected activity under the law.
(If) trump (aka, Stephen Miller) is against DEI and uses it as part of his strategy to erase people of color, women, and LGBTQ from our history, it is part of the 2025 plan to oppress anyone that is not a white male. You might as well include anyone in any way handicapped in this group.
If you disagree we have nothing else to discuss we should simply agree to disagree.
The partisan, when he is engaged in a dispute, cares nothing about the rights of the question, but is anxious only to convince his hearers of his own assertions.
THE LAW: (eta: this was not written under Trumps term) or can you not read, just regurgitate what you "think" in (Plato) fits what you want to make fit; you are NOT right
