industries such as these don't lower their standards to be able to hire everyone. They simply pledge to not discriminate against those who are qualified and aren't a white male, and encourage everyone to apply. That's it. That's all. Stop making it out to be more than it is.

If you’re planning on flying, you might want to check and see who’s in the cockpit because I’m going to fathom that 94% of plane crashes had a white person at the controls. You might want to turn around and head for the car rental counter.

Question: Is it unreasonable to believe that people should be hired based on their qualifications? I can understand trying to hire a diverse workforce. I can understand that perspective and not vilify it. But do you believe someone is racist or sexist if they do not agree or support DEI programs?
This question has nothing to do with this plane incident.
What underlies your question is that DEI leads to hiring unqualified people.

Do you believe DEI prevents people from being hired based on their qualifications?
The Trump administration clearly does not like DEI programs yet has assembled what most considered to be the least qualified cabinet members in recent history.

exactly....Gabbard, Patel, etc....are they really the best available for those positions? Or are they the few minorities selected?

People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.
Organizations that provide vital
care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been
forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve
never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.

On Friday morning, the
staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who
care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy
President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or
let up to 100 babies and toddlers die.
They chose the children.
In spite of the order, they
will keep their facilities open for as long as they can, according to
three people with direct knowledge of the situation. The people
requested anonymity for fear that the administration might target their
group for reprisals. Trump’s order also meant they would stop receiving
new, previously approved funds to cover salaries, IV bags and other
supplies. They said it’s a matter of days, not weeks, before they run
out.
American-funded aid
organizations around the globe, charged with providing lifesaving care
for the most desperate and vulnerable populations imaginable, have for
days been forced to completely halt their operations, turn away patients
and lay off staff following a series of sudden stop-work demands from
the Trump administration. Despite an announcement earlier this week
ostensibly allowing lifesaving operations to continue, those earlier
orders have not been rescinded.
Many groups doing such
lifesaving work either don’t know the right way to request an exemption
to the order, known as a waiver, or have no sense of where their request
stands. They’ve received little information from the U.S. government,
where, in recent days, humanitarian officials have been summarily ousted
or prohibited from communicating with the aid organizations.

Not necessarily racist or sexist, but it's highly likely they are misinformed or purposely ignorant if they believe DEI = less qualified. Just because someone may turn out not to be a good fit/employee who is a minority class, doesn't then justify the assessment that DEI = unqualified, but that seems to be the narrative.

All 2-3 are banned
True. People flag posts if anyone disagrees. After so many flags people get banned. People here in the echo chamber flag post evertime because honest truthful discussions is dangerous…so thus why they go away.

I think some would say it isn’t inconceivable for a program with great intentions to result in hiring someone less qualified than another candidate to fill a quota.
The Dems will continue to lose elections when they label people as racist for not liking programs that target/benefit people by race (irony). People can disagree without being a racist.
It is the same annoying thing with abortion. Dems say pro lifers hate and want to control women, when perhaps they just feel strongly a fetus is a life. Reps say pro choice people are murderers, when they don’t believe that a fetus is a human and want to prioritize the mother’s choice. There is no room for reasoned debate, and it doesn’t help that Trump purposefully says the dumbest things to distract people.

If they ever posed honest questions or truthful discussions. The few that have been on here just spew nonsense, post a meme, a press release or refuse to actually answer real questions. I've tried. Feel free to challenge statements or positions you disagree with on here. It's only an echo chamber if people don't challenge anything and just come on here to complain. It's ironic because the people usually calling it an echo chamber seem to be in the middle or slightly left leaning.
