No it isnt that simple. Maga & taliban both believe employers should favor white hetero able males because its god's will. Others believe wham's are better so choosing on merit = hiring a wham. We have to disprove both those beliefs.
Yup. They don’t like laws that even the playing field. Their whole “jobs should be given to whites first” is absurd. Go apply and compete for a job, like the rest of us. No. They rather have it handed to them on a silver platter.
I don’t know if they have that much self-awareness. It might be as simple as, if the Man says other lifestyles/identities besides theirs are equally valid and permissible, then that dilutes their only source of self-worth: the idea that they are living life The Right Way and have The Right Identity.
Working on a unified field theory about how hatred for DEI (and heck, women) goes hand in hand with the rise of sports betting and crypto as ways for those without game to pretend they have it
They're mediocre people. So were their parents and grandparents. THAT'S why they think people are taking their jobs. Because the other people are smarter and try harder. They think they're entitled to have everything they want, but it just doesn't work that way.
I'll be god damned if my failures lead to introspection. Clearly it's because I'm part of the most discriminated-against ethnic group in history (straight white men)
It's not even that they think they can't compete. It's this deep-seated unconscious terror that we're all the same and that they're not better. Their whole self image is built on this fake shell of superiority so they react violently to anything that threatens that.
"Of course, that's why we're dismantling DEI, so everyone competes purely on MERIT!" he shouted as I placed the final brick near my beloved amontillado
