Companies Back Away from DEI

In 2020, with the death of George Floyd, the world went nuts with DEI hiring. Nobody was hiring White men.

Now Axios reports:

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is terminating major DEI programs, effective immediately — including for hiring, training and picking suppliers, according to a new employee memo obtained by Axios. ...

Context: Meta said it was changing course because the "legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing," per a memo by Janelle Gale, vice president of human resources.

CNBC reports
Amazon said it is halting some of its diversity and inclusion initiatives, joining a growing list of major corporations that have made similar moves in the face of increasing public and legal scrutiny.
I wonder how this relates to Trump being elected. VP Kamala Harris symbolized DEI, as she was a big proponent of equity, and an obvious beneficiary of it, as she was obviously not competent on her own.

But the George Floyd stuff was really crazy. People had to come to their senses eventually.

Look at Los Angelos. Their Fire Department is run by DEI lesbians and Blacks, and now the city is burning. How much of this can be tolerated?
