Poor, clueless Mark Cuban
There's
been an exchange taking place on Twitter between Mark Cuban and Chris
Rufo, in which Cuban denies that the DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)
movement amounts to what critics say it does.
Dilbert's Scott Adams writes:
If you are not following this ongoing debate, you are missing a great show.
Mark Cuban had no idea how DEI works in the real world.
In
the real world, if your CEO says diversity is a company priority, the
managers begin overtly discriminating against White males and it never
stops.
Every. Time. Forever.
No one cares what vocabulary words the CEO used. Managers respond to incentives. Period.
It
has been this way for at least three decades. If you need a witness to
my claim, stop any White guy on the street and ask if he worked in a big
company. You'll hear the same story every time.
If you ask the
CEO, he'll either lie or say he expressed himself in terms of "equal
opportunity" but the managers took it too far.
Cuban made
the mistake of asking Chris Rufo -- one of the world's foremost experts
on the subject -- to supply examples of CEOs who interpret and enforce
DEI as an ideological and racialist campaign and who reject equality in
favor of the more redistributionist, outcome-focused "equity."
Rufo supplied ten examples in about five seconds.
Raytheon,
for example, flat-out tells employees that they should oppose
"equality," which involves "treating each person the same...regardless
of their differences," and instead to support "equity," which "focuses
on the equality of the outcome."
But it's much worse than that.
The propaganda about "white privilege," "white supremacy," and all the
rest of it is so over the top that I promise you it's worse than you
imagined it could be.
I particularly like this graphic they used at Google:
That sure is one narrow (and exhausting) path to tread!
You're
pushing "white supremacy" if you believe in meritocracy, if you
compliment a "POC" on his speaking abilities, if you insist race doesn't
matter to you, if you reject the concept of "white privilege," if you
"fetishize" "BIPOC" (so you'd better really like them, but try not to
like them too much or then you're fetishizing them), if you are
committed to colorblindness, or if you call the police on black people
(can you please stop bothering the poor guy while he's trying to murder
you?).
And if you try too hard, you'll be accused of having a "white savior complex."
If
you decide that the whole thing is therefore hopeless and nothing you
do will ever be right or given a charitable interpretation, then you're
guilty of "white silence."
Nice bunch, the people who drafted this.
I
wonder what would happen if I denied the existence of "discriminatory
lending," one of the sins listed on that pyramid. That was debunked a
long time ago. If blacks were being held to a higher, discriminatory
standard, they would have lower default rates. They do not.
Seriously,
if the list of white faults is that great, isn't the whole experiment
hopeless? There aren't enough concentration camp guards to do all the
reeducating that would be necessary to fix all of these alleged issues.
So what could the endgame possibly be?
I doubt they're thinking that far ahead. This kind of ideology is simply a bludgeon to use to attain power.
I
have never had to sit through a race-obsessed brainwashing session or
deal with DEI-crazed HR people or any of that stuff, thank goodness, so I
can't advise you on how to cope with it.
I do, however, have a
video of me speaking to a room of normal business folks and marketers
who legitimately wanted to know how small-fry Woods here was outselling
them all, and they were stunned to learn it was only one change from
what they're already doing, but that one change makes all the
difference. Watch it for free if you like: https://www.tomwoods.com/mybestspeech
And one more thing: in case you missed it: I've added more dates to my murder mystery dinner party tour. Come
on out and have a nice evening with me, and with a bunch of like-minded
folks in your area, with this unique and enjoyable experience: https://www.WoodsMystery.com
