Tony is a ignorant uninformed bloke

Then Tony fails to understand what "woke" means.

Tell Uncle Tony, “Woke” was started by black people to mean you understand critical race theory.

Tony doesn’t remember the days when a person of colour turned up at a factory for a job and was turned away by the gateman who would say the job was filled. I do!
And why doesn’t he remember ???
……..because we developed WOKENESS.

DEI initiatives are not to ensure lower qualified minorities get hired instead of more highly qualified white folks, it's in place to ensure Lower qualified whites are not hired instead of more highly qualified minorities (which is the case many times)

Like, all you have to do is look across the pond to where Trump has fired a whole bunch of totally competent minorities and women, claiming they were "DEI hires", and replaced them with a bunch of mediocre white guys whose only qualifications were how good they were at arse-kissing.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind as well after reading the post.

I cringe as black women when here these narratives coming from within my community.

What he doesn't understand is people don't get the job just based on their colour. They still have to demonstrate they are right for the job FFS 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s a sad reality, that if you believe that, you will believe anything.

White privilege existed first.
Ignoring "woke" for a moment. Does Tony realize that during 2019-2021, BAME were likely to suffer a LOT from c0v1d infections compared to white people? No offense
But minorities have ALWAYS suffered
WOKE and DEI are necessary!
BE WOKE. Wokeness is necessary.

Dont believe me?
Minorities have always suffered
"In April 2020, a study of hospital admissions presented the first substantive evidence that death rates were higher among black and Asian patients who had contracted the disease."
I AM PRO-woke for many reasons.

Here is another article
Minorities suffered from c0v1d (still suffering)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52219070
And people tell me NOT to be woke?
Oh, I am super-super woke
Dont tell me what woke means.

jasfriedman.bsky.social•50 days ago

Dont get me started
//... such differences are not driven by pre-existing health conditions but largely down to factors such as living arrangements and jobs.//
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/16/bame-people-more-likely-to-die-from-covid-than-white-people-study
Due to jobs? Due to living arrangements?
Tell me why this is!
Being woke is necessary. DEI is necessary.

/Excess deaths included roughly 9,000 Black (542,000 YPLL), 6,000 Hispanic (395,000 YPLL), 400 American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN; 24,000 YPLL), and 100 Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander people (7,500 YPLL)./

Being woke is necessary!
