There’s a large base of people who think DEI initiatives are unnecessary. I agree with you in that the United States ought to strive for promoting these ideas, programs and staff - but there’s a huge push back from many people.
A common argument I’ll always fall into is the idea that if you work hard, you’ll be successful - no matter who you are and what you look like. We know this isn’t always true and it’s why we have DEI initiatives.
To the people who don’t want to promote it, I’m not sure how they can justify it.
Lemmings unite!
I certainly hope so. There’s definitely a taboo that comes with bi and pan folks - at least what I’ve seen anyway. The idea that we must conform to either this or that is becoming more and more outdated. The pushback from certain groups however continue to be fierce.
