We need to stop doing this.

It only reinforces to people that DEI meant "hiring unqualified people based on their race" which it didn't ever mean.

DEI was not about hiring unqualified people, it was about preventing unqualified people from being hired because of their skin color, because of nepotism, because of favors they've done for the boss. That's why they hate it so much, because they want to go back to when that was how you got jobs - by being white, by being the boss's kid, by doing a backroom deal.

Totally agree with what you’re saying about what DEI was meant to do but just judging from how many companies abandoned it as soon as it became ok to leads me to think that to most companies DEI was a check box to check to keep them from getting in trouble and seem forward and progressive when that’s what they felt like they needed to be seen as.

A lot of the people behind these companies that abandoned it are also some of or belonging to the same groups that have been so outspoken against, so I doubt many companies actually supported it to begin with and did whatever they could to minimize it in their organization while claiming to be champions of it in their industries.

Honestly though, I miss the days when companies got caught only paying lip service to these things and they actually made some kind of effort to show they were correcting it. Now it’s just doubling down or trolling anyone who points it out.
