In a representative democracy, that seems demonstrably false to me. It is important that minority groups are represented, too.

Ok, we need 1 trans, 9 gay (we have 2), and 13 African American (we have 14) senators. Does it count if you have a gay African American as two, or do you need all the combinations too?

We are when you look at every metric. I’ll agree we should end All racial DEI practices when it stops showing up in societal and economic metrics following the trend from the civil war

I didn’t think even Trump supporters could say with a straight face he’s hiring the most qualified. Lol. Trump shows why we need hiring standards societally

^^^^Okay, I'll let the athletic department at NC State know that they should eliminate at least 10 black football players and 5 black men's basketball players and replace them with less qualified Asian and white players so the teams can better represent the racial makeup of society. I'm sure both teams will start winning more games and maybe even a few national titles thanks to their amazing diversity.

Oh yeah, it's just like 1890 for black Americans

Research shows economic mobility has improved for Black Americans born into poverty. Over 40% of Black Americans now identify as middle class, with significant numbers living in suburbia."

Perfect time to put the heel back on their necks right?

Assuming you are white and have or plan to have kids, you must want them to be treated as second class citizens and be passed over for jobs and university admissions by default simply because of their skin color. Because with DEI practices, there's not just a chance that people will be discriminated against by a racist employer, the discrimination is REQUIRED BY LAW.

Khamenei is still in power. The younger version who is pissed that his Dad got blown up.

^^okay, I retract the "required by law." I was thinking of universities like UNC and Harvard applying points for diversity and some companies mandating quota systems, but these were mandated internally rather than imposed by state and federal governments
