The diversity and inclusion rule of thumb
Is your profession about to be invaded by diversity and inclusion fanatics?
Here is a quick rule of thumb that will allow you to figure it out in the coming years.
The rule is:
- if your profession is physically dangerous, or
- your profession carries little power over others, or
- your profession offers little prestige in the world, or
- your profession only offers low salaries,
then you won't see many obsessed D&I fanatics demanding that there be "more diversity and more inclusion" in your profession.
Here's proof:
- What's the relative percentage of D&I fans demanding D&I in the trash collection or logging industries?
- What about in the secretary or mail office employee space?
- Have you seen a D&I fan demanding diversity in barista / McD's cook jobs?
No, right?
What does this say?
It says they want to invade and dominate only professions that yield them power, money, and security — and expel anyone who doesn't agree with their dogma. Diversity and inclusion are just pretexts to say "here's why you should give me this unearned power".
