Btw when the GOP says “DEI hire” they mean “<n-word>”
I know this has been posted ad nauseam but it still makes me laugh.
All black people with jobs that aren’t fast food worker or janitor are “DEI hires” because conservatives are racist and don’t believe that black people can actually be qualified for any higher level job.
You’ll never see a conservative praise a business or department for clever hiring if the person/people they just hired happen to be black. It’s either white person or DEI hire to their minds.
What really frustrates me is the sudden latching in to a phrase or acronym. DEI has been corporate policy for a WHILE, in that exact wording. But all of a sudden it’s this hot take talking point insult. Idk I’ve had a few beers I hope that makes sense

You’re 100% correct despite the beer.
what about white females?
I read that in the ferengi voice on ds9. “Feeeemaaleeesssss”
You’d think we were in the Stone Age.
Similar, only with early TNG Ferengi.
Is the singular of Ferengi “Ferengus?”
Now they support white women.
So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?
Where is this candidate?
Oh right they’re still on the “old white guy” train and it’s not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.
I already need a second hand to count the number of times I’ve heard people saying “she used to be a prostitute” in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond “I just pulled this out of my ass because she’s a woman and that’s what I associate women with”
Nikki Haley passes for white enough, apparently.
I wonder why Nimarata Randhawa doesn’t use her first and last names. Bit of a mystery, that.
No idea. As Rafael Cruz- er, Ted Cruz.
I dislike her as much as the next guy, but Nikki is her middle name, and she’s used it basically all her life: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/05/05/fact-check-haley-didnt-white-wash-her-name-nikki-punjabi/4928061001/
And she married before going into politics, so I imagine she’s used the name Haley for her entire political career. Generally you don’t want to change your name once you start, because name recognition is huge.
Not exactly. It’s more that they are questioning Biden’s decision to only consider black women for certain roles (VP, Supreme Court Justice). They know affirmative action polls poorly, so they’re attacking him where he’s weak.
Americans, by and large, want people to be selected based solely on ability. They want everyone to have a fair chance - but despise the idea of guaranteed slots being held open for people who look a certain way. Even California outlawed affirmative action.
This isn’t the terrible double-standard you think it is - just a decently calibrated political attack.
Abysmal record of, checks notes, being vp? Gtfo of here you clowns. Do better
And a Senator. And a District Attorney. Elected as both of those, not “hired.”
She hasn’t been “hired” for anything. Of all the issues to take with her, calling her a “DEI Hire” has got to be the most ridiculous.
What a truly idiotic position to take.
Someone here on Lemmy yesterday said her record as a senator would hurt her because she didn’t come up with any major legislation.
As if voters give two shits about who comes up with what in congress and not just the result for them.
Yeah, I’ve been reviewing her record because of all the hate, and I definitely don’t like a former DA as VP/President, but… her record is surprising good from what I can see. She sponsored a ton of good bills, was fairly left-leaning (for a US politician) on the bills she sponsored, and even while a DA/AG she refused to seek the death penalty and tried to work against racist behavior in police (without actually, you know, holding any of them accountable). She wasn’t perfect by any stretch, and she was still a DA who is practically a cop, but she seemed to be one of the better ones (I know, low bar).
I’m not really understanding all the hate she is getting, even from her own side. The amount of “hold your nose and vote for her” seems out of proportion for her record.
Points at brown woman
“Why isn’t she white?”
Somehow this is where our political discourse is
They could always Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that complete a coherent sentence drop out because he’s too old, and replace him with a white female. Personally, I’d like to see that Jewish space lasers nutjob get her ass handed to her by our current VP.
Hey, anyone remember those old peanut butter cup ads? The ones where some peanut butter and chocolate get mixed together accidentally and people realize they taste good together?
This is just like those ads! Except with misogyny and racism, of course.
And the mix tastes like shit.
What about white females? The right would still call them derogatory names if they didn’t completely and wholeheartedly submit to them.
What about them? One ran in 2016, remember?
What about the E-males!
What about buttery males?
It’s only a little bit of collisional with the DNC to fuck over Bernie.
It was her turn.
Not just collisional, but liability and comprehensive too.
If I said some clown ass shit like this while representing my employer I’d get dropped so hard. Would love to see this turd face some consequences - other than having to live inside his own head anyway
What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.
Will you shut up, mr nepotism, your dad brought your ivy league credentials.
Sorry House Cons, did you say Hillary Clinton? It’s really hard to understand you with all that feces in your mouths.
DEI
FYI: Diversity, equity and inclusion, not Department of Election Interference (which is currently staffed by Republicans anyway)
Like CRT, it’s one of their buzzwords for “bad thing” that I wouldn’t know otherwise.
cathode ray tubes?
TVs back in the day were woke!
