Google has dropped more than 50 DEI-related orgs from one of its funding lists

I hope critics will be equally critical of the companies that weren't donating to any DEI-related orgs in the first place.
djohnston•6mo ago
Most people aren’t critical of either and don’t care about DEI initiatives.
trhway•6mo ago
The companies which followed their principles even when it was against the prevailing ideology du jour? (Being originally from USSR I hate ideologies and those 180 turns people do on a dime the moment the ideology changes)
perching_aix•6mo ago
Why? Wouldn't it make more sense to blame these organizations "now-demonstrated to have been performative", as DEI's critics have been (performatively?) accusing them to be for so long? Or would that count as performative too?

Getting lost in the narratives at this point.

dyauspitr•6mo ago
Disadvantaged folks getting jobs is not performative.
perching_aix•6mo ago
Well yeah. Sure didn't stop from people claiming otherwise though, or at least ignoring it / focusing on the performance and narrative aspect instead.
michaelt•6mo ago
IDK what 'performative' means. But according to my calculations, if I donated $50,000 to a charity last year and $0 this year, I've still donated $50,000 to the charity.

Whereas someone who donated $0 last year and $0 this year has donated $0.

It'd be pretty weird if the former got worse press than the latter.

perching_aix•6mo ago
I was being sarcastic. For a lot of people the narrative is more important; I'd even argue it's what people normally default to, including me. What I meant to convey then was that at this point I find all those narrative driven perspectives beyond tiresome, and yet I fully expect them to barrel on regardless, unlike what you're hoping for.

Your napkin math is one demonstration why a focus on narrative can prove misguided. It can matter very little how genuine their intents were if in practice they materially helped a significant amount.

weldboss•6mo ago
DEI policies are dumb as fuck. Get rid of that shit and let people figure things out for themselves.

csours•6mo ago
Writing as a person who wants the future to be a better place, the number one pass time of progressives is complaining about other progressives. The number two pass time is complaining about conservatives.

Anyway, my complaint is that a lot of DEI flavored stuff is very very lazy.

A fundamental issue is that once a person has been raised, you don't get to raise them again. You can't parent a grown person - even if they need more parenting. Social punishment only works inside a socially cohesive group. The shame and anxiety you create with social punishment may be exploited by someone else.

Anyway, I'm sure some DEI groups are coming to terms with why anti-woke trolling is so effective, and I hope they find a good way to tell that story.
