      Erasure of DEI programs? DEI doesn’t erase I just wanna make sure I’m understanding you properly.

              I think they’re clarifying that the removal of the DEI program erased you, not the DEI program itself. It’s a small nit to pick, but then you confirmed it, so I think they just got confused. Words are hard sometimes

                  You should explain in more detail how that can possibly be the case. What other extenuating circumstances were there? What community or region did this occur in? I’m sorry if this is a hurt you didn’t want to discuss but this makes no sense in the context of DEI programs and their intention.

                  So the DEI program wasn’t inclusive enough? Would the situation have been better without the DEI program? Just trying to understand the issue, typically DEI has the effect of increasing visibility but it sounds like you had the opposite experience.

          I’ve been reading the whole thread and it looks like you’re blaming an entire program for the bad experience you had with a particular group of people.

              Because of this, I think that it’s valid that I direct my criticisms towards the program

              That is exactly the incel mentality. These people did me wrong so I will blame the entirety of what, in my eyes, they represent.

                  Can you give me a few solid examples or some slides that they shared for your specific DEI program? I’ve done two and it’s some of the most boring and dry shit that I’ve ever listened to.

                  For ours, it was mainly that you can get talent from anywhere. It wasn’t about hating white men or nothing. I mean, at least it wasn’t for the ones that I’ve attended?
