It does make you a national of some American country, but it does nothing to your ethnicity. What is woke here, is identity politics - at the same time everyone should "identify as American" everyone should identify by their otherness, which naturally doesn't exist, because everyone is American. Just take a look at US presidential elections for example: ethnic group A votes for canditate X, ethnic group B votes for candidate Y, ethnic group C votes for candidate Z and so on. And therefore we need DEI hires in government positions to have equal representation, because a minority would be minority in representation when treated fairly. |
When has humans in general only identify by just one definition. If you identify as straight white male does that also mean you do not identify as an American. The thing is DEI is not based on just race, you do understand that right. DEI can be race, religion, gender, nationality, age, disability etc, or are you one of those people who only see the term fitting for someone of another race outside of white and that's it?
If that is the case then as always, the term DEI has been co-opted from its original definition and serve as just a tool to use for giving the appearance that someone of another race outside of being white was hired not for their skill but their race. The question is why is there such a policy or do you believe that their isn't discriminations for the list of individuals that fall under DEI. Or is it that you believe that DEI is used for hiring equal representation for individuals within that group instead of hiring to combat discriminations within the workplace.
