A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.

Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.

  • Yet Americans — and businesses — have a generally positive to at least indifferent view on the subject.
  • On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.

    Well for one thing, you can check and see if the criticisms were made before the movie even came out.

    For another, you can check and see who is making them.

    Neither of these are difficult, but people don’t bother.

      That doesn’t seem reliable. For one, we know information about the movie before it comes out. This means you can make preliminary judgements about the movie. They may be proven wrong later, but they are not baseless. And I don’t trust most people on the internet to judge a stranger’s character accurately enough to determine their motives behind a movie review.

        This means you can make preliminary judgements about the movie.

        This is what is known as “judging a book by its cover.” It used to be that people were warned against it.

        I would bet you think movie trailers aren’t trustworthy. You should if you don’t.

          Movie trailers reveal far more than a book cover does.

          Anyways, it’s not like this issue goes away after the movie comes out. People still have opinions and other people still judge if they’re based on anti-woke sentiment or not.
