how did you arrive at that conclusion?
DEI is what opens the door no matter how qualified you are. Remove DEI and the door is closed as it becomes all man for himself and at the mercy of the stronger and who makes the rules.

This help to improve the economy very well because capable hands will be that opportunity to do what they know how to do best without discrimination.
To me it is a nice policy
Exactly, why should there be a quota of minorities and women that you must employ. Employers should be able to employ whoever they want.

Misleading information, President Trump did not revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965, which is a law. Instead, he revoked Executive Order 11246, which had implications for FEDERAL CONTRACTORS and DEI practices within the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
You go explain tire grin

Thank you!

To add to this, do you even know for you to be a black person, even worse an international black person from Africa… for your resume to get to the hiring manager means that you are beyond qualified…
You must be extra qualified to earn the same opportunities as the average white person and sometimes even over qualified
DEI doesn’t mean reducing the hiring standard, it simply means giving people who may never have a chance an opportunity to show their talents

He's basically giving employers the right to discriminate based on race, gender and sexuality.
Exactly 💯 ! But unfortunately some morons on this forum are happy thinking that only migrants will suffer it.

Welcome to the new world order. The order of white supremacy. His black slaves in Nigeria will still applaud this initiative.

The US as it stands is already rigged against people of color. Abolishing DEI will further widen the already gigantic gap of inequality in the country.
If Una like equality, make it feasible in Nigeria.

Funny thing is that with being overqualified has its disadvantages too, some white hiring managers would see you as a threat. Life of an Immigrant in a white man's country grin

I didnt ask you what DEI does not does not do.

you claimed that "Joseph Ladapo is the surgeon general of Florida, Adebayo Ogunlesi is the chairman of GIP and many nigerians living in the US only achieved what they achieved because of DEI.

how do you know that all they achieved is a product of DEI?

He basically said one thing during his inaugural speech and went back to do the complete opposite by signing this shitty order.
Thought he said his government is "color blind" and everything is gonna be based on merit.
I just dunno for these people.
That's exactly what he did. There's no longer a quota of minority that you must employ. It's now a level playing field. Employers can now employ the most qualified without considering race, gender or sexuality.

Illiteracy is a dangerous thing!
I am speaking from my experience working in the corporate america… and I tell you that the number of blacks and Africans like yourself that benefit from DEI and protection from discrimination is the majority compared to LGBTQ that they are less than 1%…
DEI does not mean reducing the hiring standard for blacks, it only means providing equal opportunities for people less represented…
Now you are here celebrating this, when you or any of your relatives could have been a beneficiary of the protection….
Who do you this kind thing??
Same here, I don't even know of one LGBTQ person in my office. But the black people, including Nigerians, we have given an opportunity have been exceptionally smart. I mean guys with distinctions and great dinstinctions in their college/uni. Most would not have been here if not for diversity programs.

Let me tell y'all what's about to happen right now. Civil war. The war of liberation for the people of color. Oh it's going to be very bloody. Millions will die. This is what white America has been stashing weapons for. They knew this day was coming. Behind every white home is at least 10 guns and boxes upon boxes of ammo. But if my spiritual science serves me correct, blacks will come out victorious and usurp power and they would ally with Morocco to keep the whites in a permanent position of inferiority
Oga calm down, there's no civil war kan Kan. He has no business with how a private entrepreneur runs his business na federal workers he dey target. Make we come see how ISLAMISTS will have access to the Washington.

cos no man is an island all by himself, someone somewhere has to give you a chance. Self-made is an illusion. Even Trump, Elon Musk took a chance on him.

The leopard can not wash off its spots. Trump 🐽 from his youth has been Racist, his MAGA was an affirmation. But in time many dullard will see for themselves.



Update, the school of taught that Trump can order Tinubus arrest and declare BIAFRA is just a PIPE Dream.
Arrest a sitting president?
You be real fooooooool

chopnaira:
Yup.
Now, an employer can decide to hire only white people, and he would be well within his rights. Even if those white people are not very bright. Lol.
And a black employer can also do the same. People should not be forced to hire minorities. It's like saying every business in Nigeria must have a quota of Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos. It doesn't make any sense.

We should support Tinubu then appointing people from the southwest alone and not complain

No. He abolished the law that prevents employers from looking at you and saying they won’t hire you because you’re a woman. Or black. Or some other thing they don’t like.

Nairalnders are really something else.
That's what's called the free market. Employers should be able to hire or not hire you for whatever reasons they want. Forcing employers to hire women and blacks to meet a quota leads to incompetence. If you're really good, the best companies will hire you if they want to make profit.

You are getting the meaning of equality and diversity wrong. What Trump is promoting is the opposite of equality and diversity. He is saying there should no longer be equality in employment opportunities and that it is no longer compulsory that diverse group from different colour and culture are given opportunities for employment.
Wrong, there will still be equal opportunities. But employers will no longer be forced to hire minorities to meet a quota.

the owner of this our version of reality said that there's a special punishment waiting for the people who enslaved their people. He said this as a promise. This statement actually precipitated the corona virus pandemic.

It has nothing to do with ordinary people. It's about federal government workers.
