During a panel discussion, Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party's approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which led to a backlash from Sunny Hostin on 'The View.' Hostin argued that Buttigieg's remarks were tone deaf and asserted that diversity cannot be achieved through superficial measures like blind hiring. She emphasized the historical context of oppression, noting that systems of power have predominantly favored white men from 1776 to 1965, and argued that DEI is essential for true equity and representation.
I like Pete of course, but I think he got that so wrong and it was so tone deaf considering what's going on.
What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people's different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for?
Blind hiring does not create diverse workforces and people can't depend on the benevolence of white billionaires like Elon Musk.
I thought all of it was tone deaf because what happens is from 1776 to 1965, you have basically white men in charge of everything.
