How do the likes of JD Vance and Drumpf rationalise no more DEI when they have wives who are DEI? It makes no sense. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

DEI during hiring is things like:

  • Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women's colleges' job boards, not just at the hiring manager's alma mater.
  • Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities

DEI during employment is things like:

  • continuing unconscious bias training
  • educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
  • encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):

  • A slur for non-white male presenting people
  • A diversity hire
  • A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word

DEI during employment is things like:

continuing unconscious bias training
educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

And this right here is why people don't like it, and how the current administration is able to get away with the stuff they say.
