ピゴスパ<p>Critics of DEI often argue, that these programs promote hires purely on ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation while the qualification gets neglected.</p><p>If this was truely the case, then I would agree with them. These distinctive features should not play a role. However, the reality was (and apparently still is), that these factors do play a role and DEI measurements are an instrument to battle these, not to intensify them. The following example shows this best:</p><p>In 1942 - 1945 Navajo people have been hired by the US army not because of DEI measurements which did not even exist back then, BUT because of their unique qualification in talking code. The ethnicity coincided coincidentally; had any other group of people or specific jobs, etc. with a great enough workforce existed that had similar qualities in talking code, they would have probably even been preferred.</p><p>To retroactively label Navajo Code Talkers with DEI, just to be able to justify removing them from public record shows why DEI measures are important: In removing the Navajo Code Talkers Anti-DEI proponents demask themselves as the reason for DEI to exist in the first place! If it doesn't exist, your qualification don't matter - all that matters is that you have the right ethnicity, gener and sexual orientation, otherwise you get ignored and scrubbed from histroy, regardless of how important your contribution and sacrifice to society was! </p><p>Anti-DEI proponents only do one thing: support white male supremacism, aka racism and in this they refute their own arguments against DEI.</p><p><a href="https://www.comicsands.com/navajo-code-talkers-dei" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">comicsands.com/navajo-code-tal</span><span class="invisible">kers-dei</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dei</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>navajo</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/navajocodetalkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>navajocodetalkers</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a></p>
