Chief Diversity,Equity, and Inclusion Officer

Mirasol taking all my likes :blue_heart:

Just annoying people claim america is super racist when we are the least so…we are the most culturally and ethnically diverse country in the world.

People could literally go to anywhere else in the world and would find getting a job or even renting a place is extreamly difficult as other places discriminate heavily agains foreigners.
Japan for example refused to even allow nonjapanese citizens to enter stores during covid and blamed English speakers of spreading covid because of the “p” pronunciation.

Also unless a job has your lodging ready you aint gonna have a good time finding a home.
Other places refuse you service. America is extreamly welcoming of immigrants of all cultures…thats why people still flock here.

That people seem to still think america is systematically racist and needs these kinds of positions shows they are living in a completely different reality of delusion built on lies or assumption.
America isnt perfect, still plenty of issues but its so much better then most other places.
As for her specifically great I hope it brings positive change and a better wow… But with discrimination laws to working already a thing it seems unnecessary a title only ment to cherry pick and to allow discrimination by calling it “inclusive” any form of selecting over others purely based on sex,gender, religion, or race and ethnicity is discrimination, it doesnt matter if its to bring diversity… Thus why most say to choose based on skill. That is how jobs should pick and choose. If your color or sex or identity plays any part in getting the position then youre being tokenized and it demeans you getring that position.

We just had a female lead leave blizz months ago who was only hired onto that because she was a woman… Not for her hard work or merit…and thus she quit because that and not being paid as much as her male counterpart.

I feel this HR position allows discrimination while calling it diversity is the way I see it and its not how we should judge peoples worth…

The definition of the word woman is not a “hot button topic” in America.

The hot button topic is that elite institutions are disputing the definition of the word woman. A majority is unsettled by this, for obvious reasons.

Have you seen the answers that some of the people who act like that’s a simple question have given, and all the cis women that some of them have decided are not women?

Get Woke. Go Broke.

Hopefully not a fake/token gesture, like that LGBT woman we had a while back.

Her placement up there was entirely fake and to make them “feel heard”. She didn’t appreciate that.

We need some genuine diversity from people that enjoy this particular work.

No, her job is to prevent the crap that happened to Jen O’Neal.

You are right that other countries have it a lot worse. But a ton of slime instead of a pool of slime is still slime. Working towards what is fair is a good goal.

The “others have it worse” thing has been used for generations to dismiss valid complaints. Yeah, it is MORE terrible over there, but that does not excuse similar things here.

Sadly there is a faction in the US that numbers in millions that HATE the diversity and any immigrant. This goes back a long way.

While the overall official goal of the US is inclusion of all immigrants, that is now how it is currently being practiced. The US has a long history of people being against any cultural difference. There is a reason they would not hire Irish - or Chinese or anything else.

Change is a work in progress and I hope to see that continue. If you think we don’t need work - you may be innocent and naive. There is a reason we review old laws, medical practices, etc that categorized people by race, religion, etc - and dealt with them as such instead of as individuals. It is way better than it was! No argument there, but still has progress to go.

I have a lot of painful personal stories. You can make a company millions, and still be told you slept your way to it or were a diversity hire. It is infuriating to have to be many times better than peers, and even when you succeed they dismiss you. And no, it was not just “white males”. It was complicated.

Obviously it’s probably just to save their own behind. Especially now that they got a union starting to roll as well lol. I still think it’s a good thing nonetheless, I just hope the company and it’s employees and employer gives her the respect she deserves.

I’m laughing so hard I literally can barely breathe. I’m human and I’m allowed to laugh.

Prove that isn’t why she got the job. After all look at Biden and his supreme court nomination which was rigged.

It’s insane that in this day in age with all kinds of information available people still insist on trying to handicap one of the things that carries the US.

SOTUS nominations cannot be rigged. And despite what people would claim there actually isn’t anyone that is “qualified” for the position.

I personally identify as pocket lint. Do I qualify?

Well, no, she’s nowhere near as qualified as Justice Beerbro McDateahem was

True true you got me there.

Man, if you think this is funny,

You have trash humor.

Racism/sexual identity funny?

I cannot wait for that to end badly for you, in real life.

People love to act like this but wouldn’t do so for a second in an urban environment.

Because, and justly so, you’d be destroyed on the spot.

Kinda like when you work hard to get ahead only to be told it’s your cis white male privilege.

People like me are saying you and I have had the same human experience. Many on the other side are so full of hate towards me they say it’s impossible for us both to have the same human problems.

Seems like tokenism to me.

Having some hidden hand tipping the scale in my favor during hiring would be a mortifying, not proud, experience. To be the kid at the party who was not invited by the others but had to have my mother call their mother for the invitation. What have you actually won?

Who wants to actually work in an environment like that in the first place? Sounds like you’re going to end up spending far too much time and effort hyperlitigating perceived microaggressions than doing what you were hired and being paid to do. Miserable to any well-adjusted person, but for someone who lives to stir the pot it would be paradise.

Mildly disappointing that the person selected wasn’t Native American or even Jewish - folks who don’t really have a safe, native land as a refuge for when the big bad comes to harass them.

got any original thoughts?

it boggles my mind how we lost gamers to the right. so sick of their pointless culture wars

microtransactions, loot crates, p2w, charging full price for flawed garbage that will ‘get fixed later,’ monopolistic growth

and all these people bring to the table is “look how feminism and diversity is ruining my game!”
