As long as you professional and productive you shouldn't care what others "think"
You should look in the mirror...since that's your concern
It’s getting to a point where ANY black person with a decent job is going to be accused of being a diversity hire.

It's always been like that to be honest.
They might change the terminology from "affirmative action hire" to "diversity hire" but any black person with a decent job will be thought of that way.

And that's really my issue. Saying someone is simply a DEI hire without highlighting their qualifications sounded like some fukk shyt to me.
Say lessThe emergence of AI is ultimately about abandoning one’s humanity as man integrates himself with machine
Black men are an avatar of Adam, the first born. They are placing you on a ritualistic altar so
Humanity can turn its back on itself and towards a false promise.
God has a plan
The Gospel According to Luke 3:19-22
English Ελληνικά
At that time, Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by John for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison. Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."

The damage here is nobody cared about the term "DEI" until 2 months ago.
Now it's more of a lens and label more than it has been the last few years.
That's the thing about the internet: it spreads shytty copy and paste takes that turn into thought germs you got to deal with in real life.
Straight up virus.

I am just keep yo ass enlightened because you seem to think you are "different" which is crazy if you are in any non technical position in IT.If you can code, no body gonna say shyt. But if you just barking orders, you are EXACTLY who these white supremacists are targeting.
They dont want you in that job, you take it up for a good honorable white man
The unfortunate truth is that stigma is inevitable with any kind of affirmative action. If you're a beneficiary just get your bread and do a great job. The latter may erode the stigma years down the line. Maybe.

Luckily all of the data is still up. Bernie was projected to win by wider margins than Hillary and it wasn't close.
He was going to do better in critical swing states and especially in the Rust Belt where Hillary lost Obama votes. Bernie would have inhereted those Obama working class voters whereas they viewed Hillary as a centrist with corporate interests.
No different than assuming most cacs who got a good paying job got it out knowing someone vs out of "merit"

Ask any older person before AA how they looked at the few Black people in white collar jobs or managerial positions. Were they walking around saying "gosh, he must be exceptional since he is one of the few Black folks here". No, they would resent and still make up stuff to disparage you. Talk to Black kids going to school in the UC system or UT system? They seen as equal and loved and respected since there is no longer admissions affirmative action?
There is no affirmative action for Black people in sports. However, remember how during his brief stint on ESPN Rush Limbaugh claimed McNabb got good coverage because he was a Black QB? And people (even John McWhorter) defended that statement because of the vague existence of affirmative action elsewhere and White people want to 'help out' Blacks succeed. That was almost 20 years ago but etched in my mind the fact they will still come at you even WHERE NO PREFERENCE EXISTS.
It is sad yet hilarious that people think that the end goal of this is more respect or approval of those of us who made it once affirmative action is gone. Once it is gone all you will see is their true colors.

People need to stop saying quotas. SCOTUS struck down numerical quotas almost 40 years ago. Nobody legally can have a fixed quota for DEI but they can recruit and expand the field to try to fill a certain role.

Wait, so he was projected to beat Trump by wider margins than Hillary. Hillary lost, and you still lend credibility to the polls from that year?
Wow.

Additionally, this is why it's so important to interview your company before you decide to take the job.
When you're in a job interview you need to be asking yourself if that's a company you'll be comfortable working for.
When you got a good company/team, nobody going to label you things like "DEI".
I would not be comfortable in a company where there are people who use that term.
Stop settling as soon as you can.
