As a designer making products people use It's recommended to know the trends. So Universities and business just follow the trend ... result was the prolonged use of AA and DEI with mush in the head and meaningless blather to justify it. No valid justification was needed because 'following the trend" is what needs to be done to sell producrs. And when a trend becomes a religion it's hard to see that the trend may in fact be harmful.
The speaker didn't state that the reason why DEI doesn't work is because racism petsists. He questioned whether it fails because racism is not a major factor in hindering productivity by individuals of any ethnicity. And you could see he lacked the boldness to state the obvious - that as every person is an individual, teaching people to not be racist against groups of people INSTEAD of teaching people to relate to every person as an individual is idiotic, stupid, doesn't work, is a waste of time and in fact petpetuates racism.
DEI programs and personel should be eliminated. Every student should learn and every employee should be given a memo to not be color blind, appreciate all cultures and ethnicities we have in the USA and interact with and judge each person as an individual by their character not the charcteristics of their ethnicity. And get to work.
