Lol no you’re not getting the short end of the stick.
I had more I now have less because what I used to have is being reallocated to other people who are less skilled/capable than myself.
Yes, DEI shouldn’t be a thing in an ideal world
Glad we agree
but we don’t live in an ideal world
So ur idea to fight systemaric bias is to introduce more systematic bias? That’s like saying the best way to defeat the systematic bias by the Nazis is to become a fascist regime and send all German citizens to concentration camps. That’s fucking insane.
and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.
I’m not privileged cos I’m white I’m privileged cos my parents are well off and they got me highly educated, are involved in my life, care about me, love me, and I was born in Australia. None of that has anything to do with the colour of my skin. Unless ur implying that nonwhite people are poor, uneducated, and have unloving parents because of the colour of their skin. That’s racist as fuck bro.
No problem addressed by dei is caused by identity. I have no problem with socialised services for those who got unlucky. I have a problem with that being allocated based upon identity.
I think the libertarian way of thinking of liberty applies very effectively here: you should have the liberty to do whatever u want on the condition it does not reduce the net total liberty of society. Giving poor people food, water, housing, education, etc (essentially general necessities to produce productive members of society) does not reduce total net liberty it increases it. Taking an opportunity away from me and giving it to someone else based on the colour of their skin does not increase liberty. The number of opportunities remain the same, it causes less qualified people to have positions despite more qualified alternatives being willing and available. It also has a byproduct of enforcing racist/sexist/homophobic grouping and thinking.
You talk as if DEI has tipped the scales in the other direction because you experienced a few inconveniences, but in reality it’s not enough to balance them. You’re only talking about what you experience, but you have no thought for others. Which I actually can understand, it’s hard to relate to things you don’t experience and probably not even see (I don’t), but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
