....i don't believe you
Despite his name "sounding white", Shaun Harper is a Black Man and a Biden supporter.
His take is still a bad take, but fixating on his name when there's a picture of him in the article that would better inform you on this matter is also a bad take.
I included the name to call them out because they have a bad take and their one-line bio describes a DEI expert. Including the name was not in relation to any assumption in their race or anything else for that matter. But i appreciate the response since i can see how people might be reading between the lines.
Isn't it funny how the dei experts end up being the most racist?
No, it's not. It's not funny because people end up listening to and following all the drivel they espouse.
DEI expert because his employer keeps sending him to classes
The article writer is an idiot and you may be too. It says nothing about DEI expertise.
This is equivalent to dunking on scientists when a flat earther claims to be a "science expert".
The screenshot here in this very thread specifically says that they are an expert
I can call myself a Professional Moron Noticer and point to you but that doesn't make it true or fair.
If you were to buck the odds and say something intelligent in response it would even attack my "expertise" publicly, like a "DEI Expert" saying some racist nonsense in a published article.
"My work has included advising executives on DEI strategy and coaching leaders, as well as designing and delivering high-quality professional learning experiences for employees across all levels. I have published 12 books, over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and academic papers, and more than 125 essays and op-eds in magazines and newspapers. Foundations have invested $22.2 million into my diversity, equity, and inclusion research, and I have procured an additional $18.5 million for my center at USC."
This is from the bottom of the article, which can be read in full at https://archive.is/RRfmZ
This man isn't an obscure nobody, he is a core member of the DEI movement and teaches his brand of thinking to students seeking DEI degrees and other professionals. He is truly representative of the state of the whole thing and you are grasping at straws to deny it. He even brags about how much money it pulls in and how many companies and newspapers he influences.
Are we sure this isn't satire...? This reads very much like satire to me and I'm too lazy to look up the article to see for myself.
