“We’ll judge different races based on different standards because we don’t think minorities could meet everyone else’s standards in order to fight racism” DEI in a nutshell
That's what they say, and to be fair that's what a lot of the "useful idiots" of the bleating mob believe, but those at the top are pretty happy to tell their real motives: they'd rather rule over a wasteland than live in a utopia they can't control like tyrants. They want to eliminate white men, the only group of people who have historically taken up arms against slavery and ethnic cleansing when it wasn't even directed at them.
racism to fight racism. BRILLIANT
It's also Systemic Racism in a nutshell.... Ironic, huh.
@@Snowmon89 ironic is the leftist brand. Also hypocrisy.
The truth that they want to keep secret is they are the real racist, they are just so jealous that non racist exist that they have to blame others of their own ills aka "projection"
On that note if you have to blame others of your own ills to gain any advantage, you are weak
Isn't that just racism? Even worse by that logic the minorities are "a inferior race". Sounds like Adolf Hiter.
They bill affirmative action as a student with 1390 SAT getting in over a rich student with 1400 SAT. In reality, affirmative action is a black student with 1150 SAT getting in over an Asian student with a 1460 SAT.
Joke’s on yall I never took the SATs and have retired at 45. It’s called hard work yah slackers.
WELCOME TO HARVARD!
Jokes on you. Work in the trades. Get dirty and enjoy life. You don't have to worry about that lgbtq soup crap. All anyone here cares is weather or not you work, and show up on time. Hell, 85% of the time you don't even have to be sober. Unless you're driving. Obviously.
@charleshetrick3152 sure, who needs doctors, engineers, or lawyers.
They don't work hard at all. Not my best friend who does 30 hours of homework + 20 hours of work, and during the summer at least 40 hours of work.
Not me in cybersecurity who works 32 hours a week + full time college(30 credit hours last semester, wanted to die).
@charleshetrick3152 Yes, how dare I seek secondary education to become a lawyer, doctor, or engineer.
How dare I put in years of my life into my craft.
You do realize that not every degree is meaningless, right? or do you just enjoy being elitist?

But hey, it's "Positive" discrimination
According to the ones discriminating
The first time, I saw the phrase "positive discrimination." I had to first ask them to define the term. Then, describe how discrimination can be positive. It was insane.
"They" are positive they aren't discriminating, "They", are positive you are, Normie!
@georgejones5019
Is "discrimination" not an inherently neutral term like "ignorant/gnorance," though? Isn't it just another word in an ever expanding list of words that has been warped beyond all recognition?
It can be used in a "negative" way I guess, such as discriminating against people for immutable characteristics (though I think you should have the right to do that, especially if you're outside of the "state") but you "discriminate" in your decisions every day, don't you?
Similar to "positive racism" to those that are racist. As well as "positive sexism" to those that are sexist. You would have to somehow compel people to accept contradictory more Orwellian redefinitions of these words for generations to be able to fool a whole society into loving these big lies.
@georgejones5019 Diversity, equity and inclusion is a term used to describe policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. DEI encompasses people of different ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, genders, religions, cultures and sexual orientations. It also covers people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and expertise.
DEI = Didn't earn it.
DEI, re-abbreviated for DIE
Division
Exclusion
Irresponsible
When I see (or hear) DEI, I will always think "Doofenschmirtz Evil, Incorporated". Curse you, Perry the Platypus!
Phineas and Ferb was a fantastic show.
They're changing the name to MEI or some shit now.
In project management, the first thing you learn is that you can prioritize for one of three things: scope, budget, or time... You cannot prioritize all three. It doesn't make sense.
Do you want it done fast, cheap, or right? You can pick 2 but never all 3.
@@MrDj232 same idea

You can hit 1 with perfection, 2 with certainty, or 3 with failure.

"Marginalised Bob needs a job" was right there
What college degree does your wife have? She got a job based on DEI. Not her merit. Facts
DEI = Tokenism
ive learned human nature from the bible and general human intelligence from like itself im disappointed
They were sneaky with this one too. When affirmative action (which usually involved quotas) was becoming increasingly unfashionable they swapped it out for DEI initiatives which usually doesn't (I think it was Mark Cuban that defended DEI on that basis) but instead places extra value on people from certain groups on the basis of presumed "lived experiences".
What about all y’all wives who have office jobs who don’t have college degrees? They care not qualified. Most whites people I know were handed jobs with no merit down here in good ole boy land.
Whites live in tokenism their whole live bro

“NEURO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA typical”
I’m dying
why is that part so funny? its killing me XD
The funny part to me is that "Neuroatypical" people are often times much smarter, to the point of being outright geniuses. It's their interpersonal skills that are lacking. They should be given a harder test if anything (according to DEI, everyone SHOULD get the same test!)
@@TheOhioNews That depends on the way in which they are neuroatypical. Unlike how some use it, it doesn't just mean autistic*. It includes any neurological difference from Down's Syndrome to Schizophrenia.
*Even then, you get people at both the really high and really low ends of the IQ scale. I have a weird mix of IQ scores that evens out to slightly higher than average. However, measured individually, I have two scores lower than average, one score way higher than average, and one score a bit higher than average.
@@Cerebrum123just had some moron on another video blast out all their neurodivert Ar d and mentally deficient buzzword crap and I told them to stop using a word that's not real and arrogantly narcissistic so I would assume most are in the low end category.
Either:
It's ok to select people based upon immutable characteristics,
or
It's not.
Exactly!
it is, but only when we say it is
@@gorgeousfreeman1318 Well that's just how the left does it, rules for thee not for me.
Well we do have to be careful with the absolute statements. Technically saying men can't enter women's bathroom is gender discrimination. Ironically that is the one they want to get rid of. You see, people don't actually care about principle. They pick the one that benefits them and then use ideology to justify it. That's why logic doesn't convince people, only shifting the incentives to benefit works. Maybe I'm just being cynical.
Intelligence is an immutable characteristic. No amount of study will double your neurons. Nor can you 'work harder' to grow a normal amount of arms and legs if you don't have them. Pretty immutable. Let's be honest: we ALL want to select people based on immutable characteristics. It's just a question of which ones.
Strange how things like quality, service and safety standards have dropped markedly since Diversity Inclusion Equity hit society.
But only in those companies and organizations that have embraced it.
Funny, that.
Can you name those companies. Ahh though not
That has more to do with people not passing down their knowledge (either intentionally or as a result of managers cutting on costs). Those things just strapped rockets to the rollerblades.
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108- Boeing is a good example
Boeing, Activision-Blizzard, All fast-food chains that prioritize hiring low-skill Punjabi labour, call centres, Walmart, budlight, Ford, General Motors, my local news paper, my local college, Home depot.
What made you think we couldn't list a single company when it's literally every single company right now?
I saw the title and just started smiling because it's obvious
If it is so obvious then why do people act like im a weirdo and a bad person if i complain about it?

It's worse when you have ADHD. If a potential employer finds that out, they can respond one of two ways:
1) They don't see your creativity or out-of-the box thinking. They don't see that you're cool and calm in a crisis. They don't see that you commit yourself 100% to a passion or project. They don't see the 40 hours of work you can get done in 8 hours. All they see is that you can be distracted, you struggle with motivation when you work alone, you're prone to insomnia, and they assume you'll bounce off the walls all day. So they refuse to hire you or let you move up in the company.
2) They don't want to look like the bad guy for not hiring you, so they stick you in a position you're not qualified for or happy with, and they offer you zero support.
Pro tip: Don't disclose your ADHD until you've settled into the job and are past your probationary period. And only bring it up if it's absolutely necessary.
Funny (ironic,) that you should point out the wisdom of not disclosing you have ADHD when you actually do, compared to the number of people I've worked with who self-diagnose it then constantly use it as an excuse for mistakes or to do less work. I agree with you, unless it becomes a factor in your job, it's none of your employer and coworkers business.
I had a friend in middle school who would always use Adhd as an excuse and never went far.
People regularly ask me if I'm ADHD, to which I say "No, never been diagnosed." [and I never want to be! I'm lazy enough as-is, a diagnosis in my teenage years would have crippled me for life. No doubt about it. ]
@@sonictimm So you never want to know if you have a dopamine deficiency that can lead to Parkinson's disease. You never want the accountability that leads not just to productivity but to a fulfilling life without regret for poor and harmful decisions. You never want to identify the strengths of ADHD and use those to your advantage. You never want accommodation at work when a night of insomnia has left you so useless that you can't even drive safely, and caffeine won't do a thing. You never want to stop feeling guilty when executive paralysis has you trapped in place despite increasing desperation to get something done.
No one EVER said that acknowledging a disability is the same as using that disability as an excuse. I don't use my ADHD as an excuse. If I didn't sleep and cannot safely drive to work, I call off. That is NOT an excuse, it is a legitimate reason. I am otherwise the most reliable person at my job, so when I have to call out, sure it disappoints my boss, but she has never blamed me.
@@SunwardRanger83 Not everyone who is self-diagnosed will behave that way. If someone really does have ADHD that they've gone undiagnosed with all their life, they're much more likely to put in the actual research to learn about it and how to treat it without medication (which they can't get because it's cost prohibitive and should always be a last resort anyway). I'm self-diagnosed. I'm doing my own research. I'm treating my own condition. All I require from others is accountability, and I'm more likely to actively seek that out than someone without ADHD. I do also require 12 hours of complete solitude after a night of insomnia.
@@AtarahDerek Sorry if I upset you with my flippancy.
A RUclips thread is not a good place to further discuss this, but rest assured I am going to give serious thought to what you said.
if the best candidate got the job there's a decent chance someone higher up might get replaced....
I was denied a doctor in Canada for not being queer. Not a single person cares.
Treat others as good as you can, at first, then treat them how they treat you. Imagine disallowing queers doctors for being queer: that would be justice.
BS nobody believes that, govtry selling that somewhere else
This explains why euthanasia is an option in Canada. And it also explains the paraplegic Olympic gold medal winner was offered euthanasia over getting a chairlift for the stairs.
That hospital place was probably undeserving of your skill anyways.
My daughters school removed standards years ago and after actively seeking minority students, half the new students were minorities. The majority of these minorities have flunked out and the class sizes for these class years are at record lows, plus the % of kids who graduate has plummeted, damaging the credibility of the school. Since the minorities took spots of qualified people who could pass, the school is now in financial trouble and had a round of layoffs this past Friday, the CEO has been replaced, the recruiter has been replaced and we will see what they do to turn things around...

If these "marginalized" people can get in on merit alone, their system would be merit based.
The worst part is that many can meet the same standards. Take for example Dr. Ben Carson, he is objectively speaking one of the most gifted brain surgeons in the world but with DEI policies people might don’t his abilities because they assume he had lower standards due to skin color.
DEI only breeds and foments actual racism. Now you see a straight Asian or white male doctor you might think that they must be better than they are to have overcome the DEI nonsense, while immediately assuming the opposite for a black or woman doctor.
Consider Oregon segregating math classes because inner city Chicago kids who happen to mostly be black are failing math. Rather than seeing it as a regional problem with specific schools the left instantly jumps on a racial bias. Then instead of the schools doing better, they segregate classes in order to actually bring regional stereotypes into national fact.
I fire that receptionist without a second thought.

Dude’s just doing his job as usual. Upstanding citizen to society, nothing against anybody only based on personality and character, not on political power games.
It's always the little Easter eggs I'm most excited about.
DEI: "You're pretty smart, for a minority"
"If it's white and male it's stale". Words I heard come from a Disney VP mouth a few years ago.
Isn’t this the same argument John Wayne made in the Playboy article that got his airport renamed?
They haven't renamed it yet. Still working on it.

And who funds it all, I wonder...
As someone who is "Neuro atypical" I can tell you I would not be comfortable divulging that information to a company if they asked or, well, didn't ask, I am way to used to people judging me and looking down on me for it and if I did make the mistake of doing so and was immediately treated with kid gloves and given opportunities that other, more qualified people weren't I honestly wouldn't stay at that company very long, it would just be judgement of another kind making me feel less than human.
If they actually wanted to help marginalized groups, they'd make sure they had the qualifications to get the job without DEI. It all starts at school.
Then again, that would mean reforming the school system, and heaven forbid we threaten the government indoctrination camps.....

Reminds me of school and how when I was new to my medical condition that took tons of work to manage ordinary situations but then there were students who basically identified as having mental issues with stress and they could get special permissions for getting more time on tests, take tests in different rooms, and get different deadlines. Even before I had physical issues, I navigated anxiety on my own--never occurred to me to get special permissions. Heck, saw plenty of people who milked that without even a pretense of mental issues, so I didn't see the permissions as a legit route.
that is different and anxiety itself doesn't generally qualify, it has to be medically diagnosed and upload those documents. I have both physical and mental disabilities, so me getting certain seating because im half deaf and even with my hearing aid its hard to hear I don't see an issue because it provides me an actual chance of hearing and learning. Being able to record some things or take photos so that I can actually have access to something that others wouldn't need because they don't have those issues.
I have limited mobility so theres things for that, ptsd and bipolar are not easy to dance around and especially not around other people, those who are neuro divergent it can be the same. There's no magical dance around and dealing with such symptoms, those with autism may do fine and others may not because its a spectrum as is bipolar and ptsd.
Meds can help as can therapy but there's no cure, anxiety on the other hand is more manageable and often not viewed as anything special because everyone has anxiety of varying degrees, unless you're diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder where you have panic attacks, compulsion, ptsd actually falls under that differently and so on.
So yes by requesting through the disability office and providing the necessary paperwork and information that falls under the criteria you can gain those perks and you have to actively request them every time. So every test you have to request it usually a week or so in advance, if you want the extra time and a place that is more secluded to test where you're watched more carefully anyways, as for different deadlines no, that isn't a perk anywhere I have seen and its not one Sam Houston has in their program that's for sure.
Changes in deadlines require more than just i have anxiety or a panic attack and is far as I know at discretion to the professor most of the time unless its severe which often requires documentation of some form.
I just went through the job hunt process and companies were asking my sexuality which is wildly inappropriate for a work place. The only reason to ask is to discriminate. either because you already do or you plan to if you dont like what you find.
Ive also had to wait to be promoted due to the hiring manager to interview people of other sexes, races, and external to our company, despite them already offering me the job. Wastes everyones time and is wildly disrespectful having been on both sides of it.
Rather than give certain groups different standards, why not give said groups the means to meet the same standards?
That way doesn't erode civilization.
Because then most university slots and white collar jobs would be occupied by Whites and East Asians. That's the opposite of what the US government wants.
@@veganconservative1109 It also involves hard work, time, and determination and they want those head pats now.
How did that "busing" and minority scholarships work out?
@@gregsmith5695 That's not what he was talking about.
Not to mention that DEI practices increase racism. It casts doubt on someone of one of these "marginalized communities" is actually qualified for the job, based on race, gender, etc.
I see it all the time. It reinforces negative stereotypes. Especially when you see the minority doing a crappy job of things, and they seem to avoid getting fired EVERY TIME. When you see people getting preferential treatment, you stop caring about treating them as anything other than a token.
Granted, I already hate people who have poor work ethics, so it just compounds things for me.
Does your whyte skin means you are qualified
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108 If a white-skinned candidate for a university has to have a higher GPA than a black-skinned candidate, and you're at university, and you see a white student and a black student, which will be more qualified to be there? Which will be more likely to drop out?
If the standards were the same for any skin color, you'd have no idea just from looking at them, but because of DEI, racism is generated.
@xn85d2 Harvard University have been told to remove affirmative action in the recruitment of their students. Many felt their way of picking students was unfair on Asian students.
Many felt that holding Asian students to a higher qualification standard was, (1) unfair on them and (2) unfair on other students, such as black students, who didn't need such high to get into Harvard. Many also belied that the lower qualification standard would mean that black students would fail Harvard at a much higher rate. So, how did they do?
Black Harvard students had a 96% graduation rate - the same graduation rate that male students of all races had.
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108. And you don’t think dei effected those rates? Lmao.
There are two types of DEI I seen in my carreer as a neuro-a-typical person. (Well 3 actually)
1: The one I seen in this video where your get higher chances to get hired regardless of what's going on.
2: The one where they hire you, but not for the position you applied for, but for things like Janitor work, Treadmill work or lame busy work and say: "Yea no.. no.. we see your CV but maybe in a few months of work we will allow you." I applied to be an IT mechanic, I got litterly the diploma's for it, i got the specialists for but because im neuro-a-typical and you need to hire me you put me in a box not doing what I studied for?!
There is also a 3rd and that's: "We want to hire you for a different job all together! We need it filled with someone with disabilities!" (This job was demeaning too, but I fall it under 2)
But while I agree DEI is bad for hiring practices, the truth is... Company Hiring practices are TERRIBLE IN GENERAL!
Even if we remove DEI and requirements, the work force quality won't improve... why? Cause honest workers who don't lie on their CV/Resume won't get the jobs they apply for.
Infact... most jobs require you to have a higher degree then the job asks for. As someone in IT I know this.
I studied to be an IT mechanic, fixing software and hardware and keeping the place running. Who mostly wanted to hire me outside of Neuro-atypical DEI stuff?
"We are gonna hire you for the level below! CALL CENTER WORK!"
Me: But I am level 2, I am overqualified, let alone I have no expirence as a call center worker."
Company: "Ooh but.. we want level 3 to fix our pcs."
Me: "Level 3 specializes in server maintance and installation...."
Company: "Ooh that's level 4's job."
Me: "Level 4 are Server developers and programmers for PCs...."
So yes.. the mechanic has to be the call center guy, the server maintance guy who specializes in programming has to fix PC parts and the programmers have to maintain servers... and how do level 4's get to do their job as server programmers in companies? I don't know.. probably freelancing it.
Heck how many times have you seen job applications asking this:
Looking for young junior employee of age 21-28 with 15 years of expirence.
Heck there is litterly a story out there where programmers made a new programming language and one of the creators COULDNT get the job in an office cause:
- We want 5 years of expirence.
Creator: "The programming language has only been out for 3....how can anyone even apply then?"
So let's combine this problem with DEI.
You have the credit, you have everything you need to be hired for the job that is possible within your reach, but what's this? You need 10 years of expirence? HOW?! You can't expirence 10 years of that work....it's impossible! Well they won't hire anyone then.. but then either someone who's lieing on their CV gets through.. or even they get side stepped for a DEI hire who doesn't qualify.
So eitherway... we get people who aren't qualified or people who aren't qualified. Cause the actually qualified people get put in the lowest positions possible. This is why most managers suck these days, cause they arne't qualified and lied to get to their position.
True and good points
Sounds familiar. I applied for a job about 13 years ago and took a 2 part test. The first was on C++ and the second was C#. I'm not sure if I answered any questions on C#, although I did know a bit about .Net,. I nailed the C++ and interviewed with the entire team (great way to interview). They loved me and I was later hired. They immediately put me in their new sub group programming in C#. That was my first introduction to C# programming and apparently I was already ahead of the group leader there.
This comment deserves to be top comment.
That's how DEI hiring practices get through, because the hiring process already is unfair. Corpos will use DEI to get financing, to get social clout, and still treat the disenfranchised badly. Same with government programs that claim to help the less fortunate. Bureaucracy does not care about people.
@@johnshaw6702 Yeesh imagine your C++ expirence translating perfectly to C# and your collegues being less since they might have "lied" or "avoided" offically starting.
I used to work a place that had a workforce that was _perfectly_ representative of the U.S. population. Gender split almost perfectly. 60% white, 19% Hispanic, 13% black, etc, etc.
They didn't do it to be inclusive, though. It was a premeditated strategy to fight against discrimination lawsuits. Everything at that company was about keeping themselves covered legally.

Hey look, new guy.
When we start valuing ideology over merit, eventually core systems of our society will be so devoid of competency that they'll cease to function, and then everyone including those in marginalized groups will have to suffer a lower standard of living. Equity is not about bringing up the margins, it's about tearing everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

0:45 This is similar to my experience of being rejected from my middle school’s STEM-type club in 1989. My friends were in the club, and they told me how great it was and urged me to sign up. None of us could understand why I wasn’t allowed to join. The administrator wouldn’t outright say it.
I hire people by how good their work is and how little they're willing to work for.
A "New Guy" reference? In 2024? Well done Seamus.
RUclips won't let me say how exactly I feel about the DEI. It's critical race theory for adults.
Diversity, equity and inclusion is a term used to describe policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. DEI encompasses people of different ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, genders, religions, cultures and sexual orientations. It also covers people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and expertise.
@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108 it is identity politics, and it's morally rotten to the core.
@@9usuck0 No racial discrimination from your kind, then no DEI. It's that simple
@9usuck0 You don't what CRT is about
I think my favorite part about diversity equity and inclusion programs was when it comes to Jews, they get lumped in with the minorities
despite already being vastly over represented in all the best jobs, it's almost as if it's their scheme to destroy the west
Because jews pretend to be White when advocating for more diversity and then turn back into non-Whites when it's time to choose candidates for jobs/student enrollment.
of course the “God’s chosen” need a leg up
@@handrew311 it's easy for them when they can shapeshift as it suits them.
@@christopherkopke7593 yeah there’s never a lot of push for diversity in the holy land though . . . For some reason
The point of DEI, besides virtuesignaling, is to get gov kickbacks to pay the check of that employee.
Look at how walmart set the standard for this "DEI" bs, JUST to get the kickbacks... 34 hour (fulltime) to not let the employee get any kind of bennys that they would have to pay, and 14-16hr (parttime) to let them get more gov assist from snap/cashaid.
I love the relationship between this channel and freedom toons
We had a college educated DEI hire at work that knew everything about everything. On the third day, he set his hair on fire and he hasn't been back yet.
We're all waiting for him to return.
I appreciate the inclusion of New Guy from that 2020 meme. I stan New Guy!!!
Hey, you brought in your new voice guy that has been doing a lot of the Freedom Toons paywall cartoons. Nice!🎉
It was a joy to work on this one, and I sure am gonna miss getting to do these wacky characters for everyone! Please continue to support Seamus and FT, them's good folks!
I like how he didn’t even need to use any statistics. He just needed to explain their ideology and motivation and it debunked itself.
there's a reason airplanes started falling out of the skies with regular frequency, kiddos.
Why?
I heard that they have lowered the standards for the military and the police and with firemen and other similar stuff just so more women will be able to get jobs at those things.
I saw it firsthand in the military. I also watched more competent men get passed over to fill diversity quotas.
It's a big part of why I'm a civilian now. You don't want to know how many of your tax dollars were spent on my training.
@@stevenschnepp576I do want a well trained, competent military. I don't begrudge the money spent.
I begrudge the number wasted because of DEI etc
I’m all for finding… ”differently-abled” people simple jobs they can do.
It gives them sense of purpose, allows them to contribute to the society and frees other people to do more difficult jobs.
But extending that to ethnic groups, sexual minorities and whatnot goes over the line for me.
When applying for my last degree I was denied admission the first time. I applied the next semester to the same school but I also put Hispanic on my application. Nothing else changed and I was admitted on the spot when I went to speak with the admissions office.
dei combined with “entree level” jobs requiring higher education and experience is a terrible combination
Honestly a coloring in the line test would be helpful as most kids today probably can't.

I've never heard of "neuroatypical," but Bing says that it is "... a term used to describe people who have a brain structure that is different from what is considered normal."
It's a PC way of saying autist, retard, or any number of mentally related insults/medical terms. ;p
As someone who enjoys the taste of crayons, I felt Bob there 😂
Lower expectations, more handouts = We think you're overgrown babies, and we're self-appointed Mommy.
Sheamus became Oscar?
This has been proven true to me time and time again as I've seen who got selected over me on LinkedIn. "Mid-Senior job requirements: 10-15+ years experience, multiple certifications, etc. ad nauseum." Me with 20 years experience with an amazing background.. but I'm a white male. "We're sorry, but we have selected another candidate who better fulfilled the criteria." Me: "WHO?!" The candidate: A young female of color fresh out of college with 0 years job experience and some bonus pronouns. Yes, this has happened NUMEROUS times. We're talking jobs right under the VPs of some very major companies.
Nice lie
What this skimps over, is why. DEI quotas come from investment overlords, and not filling them risks boomer investors bailing out, and might result in a bankruptcy when it's time to pay for loans.
It's neither compassion nor malice, at least by those who are on the receiving end of "forcing behaviors". What guides Larry, well, who talks about Larry? That's what.
We keep hiring more and more diversity but productivity is nose diving and costs are rising....
No one in the organization can make sense of it
As a "neuroatypical" (for þose who actually use þat word, þe vast majority of us prefer neurodivergent), I agree wiþ Seamus on how we're generally treated by þose who care*.
*people who say þey care about neurodivergent people, especially þos who use "neuroatypical" (which ironically makes life harder for dyslexics, who are included under þe neurodivergent umbrella), don't actually care and just infantilize þe group
Please do something on explaining how Trumps lower tax on corporations and jo tax on tip helps middle to lower class. I am tired of expalining it.
"Neuro-atypical. My friends probably think so" is the same answer I would have given.
I'm Autistic and therefore neuro atypical, and I fully agree with this. Yes, I'm handicapped, but I much rather do what I can to improve myself and my abilities in order to perform to the standards expected of anyone in a given position, rather than having the world around me "adapt" to me by putting different and usually lesser standards on myself. If I don't fit for a specific position, then I should not get it. Chances are there's something else that would fit me better anyhow. (despite how difficult it is to find any employment in the first place)

Damn if only you had proof that DEI’s had it so much easier.
I feel your pain Bob.
I don't think you could have made that receptionist any more annoying then you did.
Bob wanted those crayons so much I think he might be a Marine.
i don't believe in elevating anybody. full meritocracy, if you can't keep up don't step up.
To get diversity at jobs they should have forced marginalized kids to take certain classes in school and take certain jobs so they had a competent worker to fill a quota. The military promoting people and lowering mental and physical standards because of this is unforgivable.
There is a quality problem that should be talked about more. In Finland, the media DEI resulted in ethnic employees starting to quit and leave the local media company because these employees felt that the DEI that the company started using was racist and patronizing and that the DEI tutors and trainers have a "white savior" syndrome. And the media company didn't even change it to another DEI course that could be better in quality even though the ethnic employees called out this current DEI course because none of their DEI trainers and tutors belong to ethnic groups but recognize themselves only as "allies".
Lowering stardards based on your supposed diversity should be seen as discriminatory. As they are assuming that without such lowered standards, you'd never make it. They are openly stating to minorities that they are supposedly worse than others in some ways and therefore requiring help not granted to others.
I love the insinuation that bob is a high-functioning autistic person.
My husband had a final exam in college that was literally a coloring book (it was a mythology class meant for Ed majors). He didn’t do it and got an A still. 😂
Diversity is the kind of strength that has windows blowing out of aircraft, at altitude.
1:56 Oh shit it's New Guy

We had an entry test where I worked for years. Then our all female personnel department went DEI about five years ago. They dropped the test all together because the “diverse” applicants couldn’t pass it. They also removed the tech level tests which tested you for promotion.
I have retired, but I hear it’s a revolving door there now of DEI hires.
What we learned: Seamus pronounces "crayons" as a single syllable.
take the crayons, you can work hard after you get the job and HR isn't looking at you too closely.
Bob is relapsing!
Always good to see people haven't completely forgotten New Guy. What a legend.
