Tribalism

 Tribalism - the state of fact of being organized in a tribe or tribes.  Tribes are composed of groups that have temporary or permanent political integration and defined by traditions of common descent, language, culture and ideology.   

Diversity, equity and inclusion - organization frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination  on the basis of identity or disability.

Racism - discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.  Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices.

All three of the above ideas are the same yet they are in conflict with one another.  

It is human nature to gravitate towards groupings with people that are similar to you.  Whether that be because of race, gender, socio-economic position, hobbies, religion, sports teams, political ideology, employer, etc.

DEI is the antithesis to tribalism.  Because the DEI movement is about wrecking tribalism.  It's about putting someone in a tribe because they're different.  Because they're not the same as the other members of the tribe.  It's about including someone into the tribe that may not be wanted by the tribe.  

Does diversity really bring some magical perspective to problem solving or thinking to the tribe?  Would a dude from Ethiopia really have the answer to some problem that has plagued an industry or company that no one else in the company could figure out?  Like a magical infusion of genius from India or Sri Lanka or Vietnam?  Or sending a woman from Poland to the space station because she's a woman from Poland?  Because she has the same qualifications as the American woman but send the Polish woman instead?  Get out of here.  She's has not been on the team, but send her anyway.  Like a rigged lottery because she's Polish?  But the lottery has always been in favor of white people? 

The lottery isn't in favor of white people but capitalism is in favor of white people.  Capitalism creates economic growth and economic growth creates opportunity.  Perhaps the white person is entitled and lazy?  They don't have to work as hard for what they get?  Maybe that's really what the DEI movement is trying to say.  I don't know if it's because of where I live, but I know many white people that are too lazy to mow their yards and clean their houses.  They hire Mexicans to do those jobs.  They even hire people to bring them their happy meal from the McDonalds that is less than a mile away from their house.  White people can't even go shopping.  They want their purchases to be delivered to them.  They're not saving the environment with online shopping.  THere's still a vehicle driving around, the purchase is put in a box instead of a bag and they're ruining Main Street, USA.  That allows companies like Amazon to break the trillion dollar threshold while all the stores in your community go out of business and people wonder why theirs no jobs and no stores.  

Back to DEI - it's a government or new world order thinking to break up the good old boy coalitions that have existed for a long time.  The poor nations don't like they fact that they're poor and that's America's fault.  And America should do something about it?

Think about the airline space - You don't see emirates hiring a bunch of Americans to be flight attendants in their planes.  You see a bunch of pretty international women.  Hooter's isn't hiring dudes to be servers.  Chippendales dancers aren't hiring overweight Mexicans with sombreros to table dance for women and gay dudes.  Apple stopped hiring normal people to work in their stores a long time ago.  Now it's a bunch of queer aka metro people with tattoos.

I'd rather be part of a tribe than a DEI conglomerate of people different than me.  A diverse potpourri of people from different backgrounds and cultures.  Potpourri is used to cover the smell of excrement or mothballs. Maybe that's the intent.  Maybe DEI is a way of being racist against white people for all perceived wrong doings of the white people.  DEI is a systemic form of revenge that is endorsed by governments and the supposed disenfranchised among us.
