Giving people something to do. That what it feels like today at work where employees are constantly bombarded with the latest diversity initiative from the HR department. No sooner has Pride month finished, then it’s on to Trans awareness week. Work places used to be politicised through class conflict, but now an atomised working class is being cajoled through by a capitalist class adopting the politics of diversity. The panel are absolutely right to highlight how a concept like diversity has been weaponised.

Good to hear directly from Maya Forstater, Mercy Miroki makes some good points but Joanna Williams fifth speaker is best. Agree diversity as fact versus diversity as value is important & the latter is riddled with anti white working class elite prejudice.

Could a University be taken to Court for not allowing groups of students to sit exams and write essays as a group rather than as individuals, given their DEI policies?

Joanna Williams is great!

Thank you.

very interesting!

I wish a lot of people i worked with left all of themselves at home..😮

Well said, Mercy!

I think the problems are as follows. The reality is first and foremost the more diverse a community is the less trust and community involvement there is, and this includes every group of people and is true throughout the world. So diveristy if we mean people from diverse backgrounds and cultures mixing and living together is actually really really difficult. We need to acknowledge that fact before we get anywhere on how to manage this. However we don't hear this all we hear is that diversity is our strength and its assumed the only problem group is white people. Neither is true its more complicated and instead of paying lip service more people need to be more honest. The second issue is its allowed for no cultural integration which is causing massive problems. In order for us to live together we need to have some common bond. That used to be the fact we all come from England and have ancestry stretching back generations along with the cultural aspects of that. But now we really need to highlight what it means to be british or English culturally and have an expectation that people will respect that and live up to it if they choose to live here. Instead we get ideas about multiculturalism which leads to subgroups of people all living apart and not being connected to britian at each other at all. Combine that with active attacks on western values and british culture. I think that is actively dangerous. It's not racist to expect people coming hear to live to integrate and love our culture and values and it doesn't mean they have to absolutely abandon all aspects of their culture either. The next problem is all of this is predicated on victimhood and loose assumptions. The idea that if your a women your more of a victim then a man or if your black your more of a victim then if your white. Its not as simple as that and removes the complexity of a human being and starts to make us judge people on characteristics rather then chatacter, experience, ideas etc. Because of this victimhood hierarchy you get people given jobs because they are black to fill a quota who are daughters of people who own football teams under the guise if diveristy for its own sake and victimhood culture. Its bizarre. Not only that they assume having more diveristy which just means more black and brown or lgbt people means more ideas. It doesn't thoough because there is only a limited form of accepted ideas so it's leading to a crippling of arts, discourses, and actual diversity of ideas. It's also always assumed that disparity = discrimination and the way to redirect that is present day discrimination. Number one is that assumption correct? How do the ideologues explain that black Africans do better then white people or Indians do better tge white people and do they think white people are being discriminated against based on that or is there probably something else going on which as culture etc. It ignores the cause therefore doesn't allow for a viable solution. Then present day discrimination is that not just as bad as old discrimination? How can't we justify something so unjust and unfair and how are we just assuming it's yhe way to address these things. The final problem imo is the prophets of these movements deliberately setting the bounds of conversation not allowing for any real criticism. If a white person objects they are just confirming their racism, is a black person objects they have been brainwashed by white supremacy etc.
