Eventually I'm going to get around to a longer version of this thought, but I've seen a trend developing that's starting to bother me.
DEI is bad and racist. We all understand this. Yes, it was started with good goals, that is to help overcoming unrecognized racial biases in hiring practices, but those good goals have either not played out or not survived in the actual practice of DEI programs. The entire thing, as a concept, has acquired too much baggage to be salvageable at this point, and has to be thrown out.
Great. We all get that.
However, I'm seeing a lot of people accuse anyone who isn't a straight, white guy and who also has a job of being a "diversity hire." Or ragging on a team of all-women for being happy that a team of all women can exist and condemning such teams as being DEI products.
Not so great.
The problem with DEI is that it is racist and sexist. Whether it was intended to be that or not, that's what it is in reality. And that is a problem because being racist or sexist is an inherently bad thing. And racism and sexism remain inherently bad even when you are doing them in the name of anti-DEI.
There isn't a "right way" to be racist. There isn't a "right way" to be sexist. It's always bad. If your objection to DEI is simply that it's championing a different flavor of racism or sexism than the ones you prefer, then your objection is one of preference and not principle.
DEI is bad in principle because racism and sexism are bad in principle. If you cannot oppose DEI in a way that is not racist or sexist, then frankly? You need to sit this debate out.
