As a colored dude, it's hard to explain. I've even had white folks say, "Nah man it's not like that."

They know.

Surprisingly, they don't. Well, the ones who enact / reject these policies do, but the layman doesn't. It's incredibly frustrating to have friends and co-workers who reject the explanation for why DEI matters and is important

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does DEI stand for?

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No need to apologize. Diversity, equity and inclusion. It's the principle that having more representation is a good thing. The Trump administration is against it because they claim it takes opportunities away from straight white men.

Diversity, equity, and Irrigation

Irrigation?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just kidding, it's inclusion/inclusivity 😁

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

Deacidification, emaciation, irrigation

People denied COVID was real whilst gargling their own lungs. What the fuck would it take to convince you these assholes aren't secretly well-informed?

Meant the people doing it

~~If they were secretly well-informed, why would they risk their life?~~

~~Why could you convicte them they are wrong?~~

~~Why would they hide it?~~
