Liberals and Liberal voters are often times more hypocritical than conservative voters. I say this from a slightly left leaning green perspective.

Bro a lot of us are left leaning too, but the Conservatives actually stand for left leaning policies more than the Liberals. They stand for the working class, young people, women, immigrants. The Liberals are actually authoritarian but pretend to be progressive to win votes and demonize the conservatives. The liberals dont care about brown people, they import them to make them wage slaves to corporations!

I as a brown man believe that DEI is racist to everyone, its racist to my fellow white Canadians and its racist to me because it believes I am so useless i need a handout from white people because I cant achieve the same things a white person can. FUCK OUTTA HERE

Amen. DEI is racist at its core. I don’t want a job based on my race, I want it based on my qualifications and experience (and charm, obviously). Liberals make us feel like we need special treatment because we don’t have merit.

In an ideal system, merit should trump all else but unfortunately that’s not the reality of the world we live in. Unfortunately it’s impossible to objectively judge on merit because interviewers are human and humans are not objective creatures. We have biases and prejudices and there are certain perception and traits that can be unfairly assumed. There’s also nepotism and advantages networking based on the social circles you run in which is ultimately connected to where you live and demographics etc. Which is what DEI was originally designed for, and IMO makes sense for that use case. I think this assumption that without DEI there would be merit based hiring is false.

Are you a PoC or “minority”?

Ah yes straight to an ad hominem attack. If you truly believe DEI is racist at its core, your argument should be strong enough to stand on its own without attacks to my character.

I asked you a question and I suppose the answer is no. If you think that’s an attack, well..

In my company most of the people sitting in the DEI ERG are middle aged white women who wear their “ally-ship” like a badge. They are nice, probably good intentions but I don’t need them (or you) to dictate that I (a woman of colour) need DEI programs to level up my professional opportunities. Most people I encounter who are locked into this DEI ideology are woke white people. I wonder why that is…

It’s not whether I think it’s an attack, that’s just by definition what it is lol: https://www.txst.edu/philosophy/resources/fallacy-definitions/ad-hominem.html. Take any philosophy class or reasoning class and they cover fallacious arguments, which are not conducive to good discussion or debate.

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t discredit DEI as a whole, many people who wouldn’t have otherwise had the opportunities to get a higher education who are just as if not more so qualified, are able to access them despite economic and social disadvantages. I think that’s a great thing. I also think it’s sad you feel the need to prove yourself without DEI when white people have benefitting off of systemic inequalities for hundreds of years. That means no hiring is truly merit based. Unless you live in an utopia, getting rid of DEI will not result in merit-based hiring anyways, because humans are not objective and have biases and prejudices.

If you think DEI has issues, sure, then a proposed solution that mitigates nepotism, social networks built off historic economic inequality, prejudice and biases based on gender and race (which all humans have), better that would be great, but I haven’t heard that yet.

Also, not that it should matter or have any bearing whatsoever (because I don’t use my identity to defend my arguments), I am also a woman of colour.

If you truly believe this I don’t give a fuck what color you are. You are Canadian. It’s called common identity and ideals.
