The case against DEI

 Blaze:

Journalist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck is responsible for enormous, multinational brands turning away from diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that have permeated throughout culture and business for more than a decade.

Through Starbuck’s work, Anheuser-Busch, Ford, Harley-Davidson, and Walmart have all pivoted away from their allegedly firmly held beliefs on inclusion.

In an exclusive interview, Starbuck told Blaze News that he holds no hidden agenda or malice toward particular brands or companies; rather, he simply does not agree with race-based hiring practices or funding for sex-based events that often flaunt disturbing content in front of children.

“Being a dad” is his chief motivator, he said. “I don’t want my kids to grow up in a crazy country.”

This was a smart move by companies who "pivoted away" from race and sex based hiring.  I always thought that hiring should be done on the merits of the person and not on identity politics.  When I became an officer in the Marine Corps, it was because I met the demands of OCS training and qualified on the merits.  When I got out, I attended and graduated from law school and practiced as a corporate lawyer.  I worked with men and women lawyers and people of various ethnicities.  While I enjoyed playing basketball, I never thought the NBA needed DEI players.
