Nah I hate DEI because once worked 2 years at a crappy job for meh pay because it was an opportunity to go into essentially my dream career and position at that time. Our manager finally left the company and then we all applied for the position. Instead of promoting any one of the VERY qualified people in my position (me and two other white guys) they hired a young Indian woman. She was very sweet and eager to learn, but she absolutely did not know a single thing about the job she was going into which was to be our manager. My boss literally had me train her because I was the most qualified (their words). They passed all of us over to grab this completely new employee that did not know a single thing about the job she needed to do. Literally zero experience in the field or as a manager. Her first fuckin job. And because I basically had to do her job while she learned and I was still doing my own job as well I got burnt out and quit.

I have absolutely no problem with women or any race working above or around me. I absolutely have a problem with skipping over theost qualified person for the job just to check a box on a fucking diversity quota. Imagine your parents die in a fire because the fire department needed fill a quota for scrawny people that can’t carry much instead of hiring the most physically capable people possible.

I think job applications and interviews should be entirely anonymous. They shouldn’t know anything about me besides what is relevant to the job they need me to do. I do not understand how Hire the most qualified person became racist/sexist but that is the dumbest goddamn thing I have ever heard.
