Keith Martin-Smith questions whether DEI initiatives are achieving their intended goals of increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Instead of moving us in that direction, are they further perpetuating any number of unseen biases?
Hard-hitting and direct, Keith cites 7 places where DEI, while partially true, is moving into problematic application because of the places it’s also partially false – and seemingly blind to that. And he describes how the problems can be fixed for a more balanced view of the future of DEI.
The 7 sins are:
1. Simplified Understanding of Privilege
2. Narrow Perspective on Diversity
3. Intolerance
4. Equal Outcomes Lead to Biased Policies
5. Excessive Focus on Oppression and Power
6. Tribalism
7. Anti-liberalism
