bruh why tf do people care so much about race/religion. what happened to talent?
You obviously wouldn't know
do you have said talent?
DEI literally is about talent. It's not about quotas, but that talents should be searched for in every race and not just looking at White male applications while dismissing better talents of other origins, like 60-80.
Are you asking why racists cared about race like in the time white and black people could not go to school together?
The responses to this comment have restored my faith in humanity ❤
EU should take advantage and absorb these talents.
America can collapse for all I care, but science is for humanity.
If they were talented, they wouldn't need DEI-based discrimination to get anywhere.
European here. No, we don't need DEI blue haired smurfs.
@@googleapocalypse1967Spoken like someone who has no idea how research works. No wonder u losers blame your inability on DEI.
@@googleapocalypse1967 Then you dont understand what DEI is. Its not about qouta, but about looking at aplications that are better, then white males, that otherwise get a pass even with wores Talent. Just like the 60-80s...

Literally she wants special consideration and higher priority for just being a woman. Wow. These cuts are LONG overdue.
DEI means that companys shoud *NOT* hire based on gender or race, but based on *SKILL*
Why don’t people understand that there are grants for women specifically in stem fields because it’s male dominated??? Not hard to wrap your head around. It makes it more equal.
How so? Science does not and should not be partial. Giving grants for women specifically because they're women is utterly non-sensical. Grants should purely be given to the one whose research is promising, be it man or woman. Now THAT'S equality.
@ these people don’t just get to grant level by slipping through the cracks and just passing by lol stop assuming these people aren’t promising or smart, they’ve got years and years of schooling and experience under their belts already, the issue is acquiring money, which the outside world would rather give to men, the stats proof that and the stigma and stereotypes exist smh they just need money for their research and to continue to combat it.
@@isaacsamuel9520 you have an intensly noble faith in huamnity if you think the people with money always choose to give it to who deserves it. I envy your optimism.
@@isaacsamuel9520do you have any idea how much credit men have stolen from women. There’s a real nasty history of men stealing women’s work or husbands using their wives free labor and not crediting her when he makes it. Walt disneys wife did like 4 jobs behind the scenes. Tolstoys wife dictates and edited all of his book. Dr Spock stole all of his parenting advice from his wife and once successful left her for a younger woman. Elizabeth smith Friedman taught her husband how to code break and he got a bust in the cia even though she was the mastermind he got credit. It’s also we’ll know that j Edgar Hoover took credit for most of her work. If you do the bare minimum research you can find mountains of stories.
"merit-based diversity supplement" sounds like oxymoron. She's making an emotional appeal that she comes from a poor family, she's first generation college grad, she's a woman - subtext: hence she deserves to be treated preferentially and prioritized over other applicants for research funding. How is it merit-based then? Funding for research project should be based solely on scientific necessity and quality of proposed research. It's pure discrimination if funding is distributed based on personal characteristics of applicants. It's no different from letting academically underperforming children of high-ranking officials into top universities like they do in communist China. Another form of corruption.
Funding evaluation on scientific research should be blind with names and personal background information removed from research proposal.
Yeah… apply and compete for a grant that does not revolve around your identity. If your work is important enough, it will get funded.
Thats just blatantly false. There are lots of underfunded programs in science in the USA and especially in Canada.
Yeah and thats the Point of DEI... Its about looking at people that have potential, but are overlooked just because they are nor male and white, like how it was in the 80s...
Talk about being ignorant. Grants does NOT revolve around ANYONE's identity. Grants are based on the type of research that you do. This has nothing to do with work that is "important" or not. Importance is not a thing in science. Some of the most well-known discoveries were made ACCIDENTALLY. People with ZERO understanding of the processes in academia and research should NOT be commenting.
@@m_lies scary seeing all the ones that are against it seem to not know anything about it at all.
@ Hey, take a breath… lower your intensity. I don’t know if you didn’t hear what she said in the video or if you didn’t check what you wrote. She mentioned that her funding was linked to DEI initiatives. Additionally, you can’t fund everyone… just in case someone accidentally finds something out it’s not rocket science. So… there is most definitely a way to compete for grants and funding. All that to say… I disagree with you.
How are they a diverse individual? How do they measure that? Hair color?
All of those d.e.i demonzzzz just lie constantly
You need to get out more.
When was the last time you interacted with society?
No, they use skin color.
She literally said she was low income and a women smh. “Women” has been a DEI target word over and over and over the last few days.
If I were one of the DOGE boys, I'd cancel all debt, all student loans, and I'd send a free pizza to everyone with health issues. (I'd know because I'd have access to all their personal information.) Then I'd empty every billionaire's account except what they needed to live on and invest in society. Turns out that radically restructuring society IS possible.
So I can take 3 million loan and buy a pagani and you'd pay off my debt🥺
And then everybody would be broke in a couple of weeks and then what?
Why didn't Biden do this restructuring when he was in office? Wasn't that basically his campaign promise?
@@JackParsons2 no, take debt and we will get paid
That would just fund the government for less than 6 months lol
DEI ? You got a grant for literally being a DEI hire? Am I missing something? You put yourself into categories that are not merit based, and you were reward with a grant? Am I missing something?
She said she was there on merit based reasons, her funding was from funding set aside for a specific community or culture, so that all communities and cultures get equal access to do research. Equal funding for every demographic of study AFTER merit was established.
@jadejasmine315 Don't waste your breath they likely were born into a wealthy family and think all the benefits that came with that were "merit based". Sad how well China and Russia tricked the American people into this line of thought. The ones who yell sheep wear only wool.
OP doesn't know what DEI means
listen 0:28
0:55 (you have to be DEI certified to then be selected by merit based standards against other DEI certified people 😂? )
@SobberMacSobberMac you forgot that she applied and got into this school. They didnt ask a random person on the street if they want a lab.
This hurts all science.
lol
We do not care about education or science. We need subservient, mouth-breathing followers.
DEI hires don't know jack about science. It's all pretentious, all they do is mix a few chemicals, call themselves smart and give themselves a pat on the back while wasting key resources. Trump is fixing usa.
@ no one can convince me otherwise that this isn’t a cult.
@ Matching hats, unthinking, and unquestioning servitude to a odd, delusional narcissist, there is no doubt maga definitely have a cult vibe.
We have better scientists than these creeps
Coming from a war zone if Trump is causing anxiety
Then we have big problems
Grow up
Eagles soar above Donkeys and Elephants.............
Glad im an an American and not a Democrat or Republican!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
"Coming from a war zone" sounds like a canned statement. Not to mention, you most likely benefitted from these DEI policies that provide support with resettlement and legal aid, even if it was indirectly. The ladder-pulling is childish and sad.
I think we just need to refocus efforts.
0:37 when she forgets to take off the plastic 🤣🤣🤣
She noticed and took it off before it even touched the liquid... that's forgetting to you? That's the least of any scientists' concerns.
She did not pipette using her mouth. Obviously, she knows what she is doing.
All cancer research funding has been halted
Like Hank says "some of this is not your fault"
So you can't just be a qualified candidate and get a job based on your skills and education? Sad
Well, getting hired just because youre white with less qualifications is a problem.
She's talking about FUNDING for her research.
OP are you always this dumb or is today special?
@als1902_ Su what does diversity have to do with her funding?
@@traviswebb3532 Oh you must be a special needs dei case too, sorry to trigger you sweetie. Just take a deep breath and go to your cry closet, you'll get through this.
Get a student loan like we all did!
Get a GED!

Student loans don't cover postdoctoral research. Are you dumb? These are grants.
@ thx for educating me. I wasn’t able to hear what she was saying, all I heard was whah whah whah.
@@crissy7183 You must be blind too because it literally says on the screen "postdoctoral research". Sounds like you're the one crying. You should look into getting an education yourself. Get a student loan and go to college. Learn how to read and listen. Might make you less miserable.
What does diversity have to do with research?😊
So much. For instance if you know a women, and that women has taken medication in her life, that medication was only made safe for her because of original measures. Prior to the infancy of DEI, only people that identified as straight white men were used for the baseline of drug testing, cancer research, etc. Do you have any other questions?
@ i got your point but using black people then as baseline would have been called genocide don’t you think?
@jadejasmine315 That's not even remotely true, they tested syphilis drugs on black men and women nearly 80 years ago.
@jadejasmine315 Testing protocols aren't connected to dei policies in any way, a data scientist knows how to create studies for whatever they are testing and they don't need extra help or money from the government to create a statistical model that reflects their intended target. This is just nonsense obfuscation to fool people into thinking this scam was actually useful for anything. If you can't figure out how to run a model without a grant you shouldn't be in academia or research.

"Whaaa, my special privileged status has been revoked!"
Are there no dress code and personal hygiene standards anymore? If you want people to take you seriously and respect you look and dress appropriately for your role.
Low IQ comment

what's wrong with how they're dressed? wearing a lab coat, gloves, and tied back hair is standard lab dress for most work
Im a little confused by the video too but ehh, what dress code and hygiene standards do you think they are missing? Seems like she was wearing all the right gear?
@@Kinma15 did you not see the dorky blue hair and septum piercing?
How about countries with trade surpluses start investing in research like this? We're broke.
What have they actually done other then party on public money
I give up...
A lot of people have given up. We are just waiting for THE atrocity from trump. Hopefully the maGa sycophants will wake up before the damage is irreparable. I am guessing the final straw will be when he attempts to ethically cleanse Gaza, or when we start feeling the repercussions of Musk and his work children's actions.
Exactly
The researcher literally has purple hair. 🤦♀️
Do you know your colors?😅
Not purple but all the same.
Yes, I meant to write, "She is a purple hair." That's what we call them.
That's pink
Oh no you poor thing. Did the colored hair scare you? Delicate snowflake morons.
she has issues
Sorry must people don’t want dei
As if you know most people
@ lol
Most While males, yeah. Because they fear that because they have less talent and education, they will need to give up thair place for a way more educated Woman or person of color.
Only White males want it, so its back to not mirid based jobs
@ do you ?
B got DEI hair... 😢
Solution: Move to other countries
AP money is gone😅
DEI merit based?😂😂
Yeah, it's when you merit money for pretending to be mentally ill better than others.
yeah, thats what DEI is about. Looking for the best talent in all races and gender., not just white males who got a free pass not based on mirits.
@@m_lies
DEI another day. She wants to be a POC so bad.
>blue hair
IMMEDIATELY discredited everything she said
okay, lets see a picture of your hair
@@jetso2000 probably doesn’t have any
Bad hair research
I'm sure you'll have no trouble snatching up a great new job with that hair & ring in your nose. You'll be fine.
I'd hire her before someone who goes to church every week

Now you cam get a job in the real world 🌎 👍🏾
Because it's fraud duh.

Or is it because you're defensive of a billionaire politician's bad policies
People with clown hair shouldn't get a dime
Ok boomer.😂 You don't even live in the U.S anymore either, but you still want to keep punching down. Stay pressed.
Hey, our president has clown hair ! Or does he have DOLL hair and clown make up? Nonetheless, we probably should not comment on someone's appearance when our "leader" looks like he smacked face first into a freshly painted Home Depot , and his hair came from a Barbie factory.
@@ZoroRoronora-vf7wl What cartoon is your profile pic from?
Are you referring to that Orange guy with hair looks like its been licked by a cow
@@bshaun2 the most qualified should, regardless of whether or not they use hair dye.
You mean someone identifying as cats,dogs will do rocket science research??
