It's disingenuous to claim that this is all there is to DEI, or that this is the kind of thing that DEI opponents are actually opposing.

Oh and also the ADA was a thing before DEI, all this is covered by the the ADA, and I don't expect that most of the people opposed to DEI are also opposed to the ADA.

There are jobs some people should not be doing.

Any job where physical strength is required should only hire people who are strong enough to perform the task at hand. I don't know a single person who gives a flying fuck what the gender, race or sexual orientation or the fire fighter is who pulls them out of a burning building is. But they would ABSOLUTELY care if their loved ones weren't pulled from the building because they decided to hire a bunch of scrawny people that can't lift anything.

Pregnant women shouldnt be working at all. At least not after the first few months. Especially not at jobs that deal with chemicals or anything that I could potentially harm the pregnancy or the mother during the pregnancy. We should have properly covered maternity leave so they do not need to risk themselves or the child. It's unbelievable to me that we don't have that yet.

Police should be required to stay fit in order to keep their jobs. It is insulting to see a fat ball of sweat roll out of their vehicles and struggle to do basic tasks. They absolutely need to have minimum physical requirements for that job. I know they do at the start but apparently once you get past the initial physical they never check again. I have seen countless videos of smaller framed female cops being thrown around by skinny crack heads because they simply are not physically large enough or strong enough to be doing that task.

I am all for equality of opportunity, but I will never support equality of outcome. Some people simply should not be doing certain things. Even if it's not their fault they can't do that thing there is no reason we should be forcing it.

Hire the most qualified person for all jobs at any given time. ESPECIALLY don't skip over qualified people who will be able to perform that job exactly as needed to fulfill some diversity quota. Support those who are incapable of working any jobs, but do not force them into critical positions simply because you don't want them to feel left out.

I understand this wishful thinking of "anyone can do anything they put their minds to" attitude that I often see around these topics but that is unfortunately disconnected from reality. I will never fly a fighter jet. Despite having decent G tolerances I have unbelievably fucked eyeballs so I will never be allowed to fly a jet for any reason. To put me in a jet would be dangerous and irresponsible for everyone involved. I was delt a bum hand genetically speaking and it is what it is. I can do other things with my life and I have.

Edit: spelling

DEI is just another corporate grift.

They don't serve the worker. It is the state jobs to protect the worker and a union's if there is one.

Some drone collecting paycheck from a corpo is the same thing as HR.

These parasites love talking big game but when push comes, they will always larp what daddy owner class tell them to.

I am still bitter I was forced to sit through a DEI seminar during my work day. Never again.
