Mark, literally everyone who has spent a minute in the real business world knows DEI might have been well-intentioned but in practice it is pure race discrimination. Every time. Ask me about the five careers I have lost so far for being white and male. 1. Crocker Bank ("We can't ever promote you because you are white and male.") Yes, management told me directly. 2. Pacific Bell (See #1) 3. Dilbert on UPN bumped from Monday TV schedule so they could create an all-Black comedy lineup. 4. Speaking career eliminated for backing Trump in 2016, because that makes me a racist they say. 5. Cartoon and publishing career canceled for saying in public you should stay away from people who have been taught in school that you are their oppressor. (I could have worded it better, but no one of any color disagrees with the obvious.) I understand Elon Musk says race could be a tie-breaker if qualifications are the same. That's called racism too. Get the fuck away from that scenario too, if you can.

@ScottAdamsSays Mark seems to think a little bit of racism is ok because at least it’s not “all based on racism” This is the rationalization of all racists.
@CraigChamberlin @ScottAdamsSays I’m against DEI as-is, but this isn’t true. The more accurate version of the “race-as-tiebreaker” is: If all the directly relevant qualifications are equal, using indirectly related (to job role) attributes to broaden staff perspectives is good practice.
@MnjjacobsJohn @CraigChamberlin @ScottAdamsSays Exactly. It seems like what Scott is saying is that would actually be bad... because its better that everyone on a team is the same race (I wonder what race that might be Scott)
