Adobe Scaling Back on Diversity Efforts

Despite pressure from activists and organizations like NCPPR, Levi Strauss & their shareholders are committed to maintaining their DEI policies.

Speaking of DEI - what about Disney and their latest 'Snow White' release? Was Rachel Zeglar a DEI hire, or was she given the role based on talent? It could be argued that she was (a DEI hire) to reflect modern trends, but it goes against the whole fairy tale and the whole concept. After all, it was a European - German fairy tale, and not a Latin American tale!

And then there are companies that tried this - Jaguar, the Bud Light saga and Dylan Mulvaney - which had remarkable sales! (Not).

And if we want to talk about diversity, is it possible to have a character of European descent play the part of Disney's 'Moana'? ( In other words, Moana is white!)

To be fair, it can work both ways, can't it? Or is DEI a one-way street? hmmm...🤔 🤔

We'll have to see how this pans out. I think the left accuses the right of all the "phobics" being against DEI, but I think that DEI does more harm to these groups, as not people look at them and think/say that they just got the job because the fit a checkbox, rather than they are actually qualified to do the job. So those talented people are lessened in many people's minds. I retired well before DEI came about, and most all the people with whom I worked were excellent at the jobs, and I never once thought that they got their job because they fit a checkbox.
