Where in the article does it say Harvard was discriminating?

And that claim is based on what? Anecdotes?

I’m sorry, but I believe employment should be merit based only.

Maybe the problem lies with your interpretation? Inclusion means to include a thing. You can still hire based on merit while being inclusive. The whole point of DEI is to make sure a company isn't missing out a massive talent pool because they're focusing on a singular demographic.

But it's explicitly not discrimination. It's inclusion. Meaning "in addition to". No one is left out by it lol.

The fact that DEI sounds good in theory but in practice it’s just systematic discrimination. Similar to Affirmative Action

Can you elaborate on this? I've known DEI policies and Affirmative Action to be commonly confused with each other, but distinctly different.

4 (kbin.social, kbin.run, kbin.earth, fedia.io) originally. 2 have closed already (kbin.social, kbin.run) which just leaves Kbin.earth and fedia.io

I agree that a standard should be applied outside of one particular context, but it seems a lot like Whataboutism if we start bringing up unrelated contexts without directly addressing the topic at hand.
