It is a conundrum because a lot of this is white erasure based on racial guilt founded on a lie that whites or the west invented slavery.
The Aztecs, Genghis Khan/Shaka Zulu/Dhomey trades/Ethiopian Empire, Alauddin Khalji/Trans-Saharan Slave Trade. etc.
It's erasure of whites masked as a push for poc visibility, while white people step aside and let the "brown people" take the reigns of the future & whites get what they get; that's essentially what's going on here, very dystopian, very disturbing.
Because an all black production doesn't need diversity because it's "diverse", an all black project team is considered "diverse" despite being blatant homogeneity. *Which simply means "diversity" means LESS white, which is not inclusion. Obviously.*
Hypothetically: Pointing out that "Sholanda Smith" was the first handicapped, neuro-divergent lesbian black woman to screenplay an Avengers movie and the only reason she got the position was because of those checkboxes & not her ability---- is not only insulting, condescending to the hypothetical person but it's dehumanizing to exist as just checkboxes on a screen to replace a qualified white person.
0:53 And then per the reporters point, there's "standards" that to be eligible for an award / or a place in a university, or to get a job: you have to be less white and less male. that is a certainly a conundrum, because this is devolution in progress.
"diversity, equity, inclusion," all the feel good buzzwords to preach progress while enforcing fallacious moral superiority with an air of matriarchal pretentiousness. How so? Because patriarchal norms tend to be about meritocracy than coddling. This cancel culture, this DEI, fear monger women, let illegal aliens invade---- is not patriarchal. It's very feminized, emotional appeal based lens, a subjective lens of how to run a country. Hence decline.
And so, notice how those labels/the concepts therein don't build a lot of empires. That's interesting to me.
Specifically after meritocracy, patriarchal foundation & capitalism is done doing the work to give you a nation to whine & complain about while suckling off it's resources simultaneously--- then and only then does this equity/diversity theory come late to the party (after the work is done) to enlighten you all, even the rest of the world about what we're doing wrong or how something is too white or male when both is why you have infrastructure in the first place.
Same people will complain about patriarchal this & trad norms that: as a bad thing because oppressive standards made people bend over, hierarchal systems victimize & abuse aka a prison. ---- And then at the same time will enforce their own norms as an oppressive feminized moral authority; and everyone's (men & women alike) supposed to just bend over, surrender & obey when scolded to in the mommy tone because "progress", aka a modern hierarchal system that bullies, victimizes & abuses aka a rigid prison:
A prison just without the advancement the patriarchal system had, hence the empire it built vs progress declining what it inherited thus did NOT build.
So rigidity & enforcement of norms is okay but only WHEN WE ("the enlightened" good guys) do it in the name of [insert protected class], thus we're justified, and defying us means you hate who we're fighting for.
It's a very clever rationalization model to ensure you're never questioned, in fact it's a way more efficient oppression system than patriarchy managed to have. Because this way you can justify your actions not by biological superiority or merit, or accomplishment but moral superiority.
Thus you gaslight your opposition that you're entitled to succeed and when you don't, it's the fault of the system you destroyed in the first place or the people you left behind (whites / Men).
It's brilliant, red herrings as a defense mechanism, Savior complex.
Inherited the tools to build a ladder to the cosmos; we chose instead to create gender studies & invent the word "mankeeping".
It's unfortunate to choose decline because that way everyone's ("everyone" meaning: protected classes) emotionally safe, visible, apologized to, represented, coddled, empowered, and thoroughly breast fed. Meanwhile the house burns around you to the ground.
It's not sustainable, peacetime came with a price.
