In the Tom Woods Letter, Tom Woods discusses the ongoing online argument taking place between billionaire Mark Cuban and conservative activist Chris Rufo. Woods relies heavily on the comments of Scott Adams, who created the comic strip Dilbert, and has since become an online pundit with a large following on Twitter (X). Woods writes:
There’s been an exchange taking place on Twitter between Mark Cuban and Chris Rufo, in which Cuban denies that the DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) movement amounts to what critics say it does.
Dilbert’s Scott Adams writes:
If you are not following this ongoing debate, you are missing a great show.
Mark Cuban had no idea how DEI works in the real world.
In the real world, if your CEO says diversity is a company priority, the managers begin overtly discriminating against White males and it never stops.
Every. Time. Forever.
No one cares what vocabulary words the CEO used. Managers respond to incentives. Period.
It has been this way for at least three decades. If you need a witness to my claim, stop any White guy on the street and ask if he worked in a big company. You’ll hear the same story every time.
If you ask the CEO, he’ll either lie or say he expressed himself in terms of “equal opportunity” but the managers took it too far.
Cuban made the mistake of asking Chris Rufo — one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject — to supply examples of CEOs who interpret and enforce DEI as an ideological and racialist campaign and who reject equality in favor of the more redistributionist, outcome-focused “equity.”
Rufo supplied ten examples in about five seconds.
Raytheon, for example, flat-out tells employees that they should oppose “equality,” which involves “treating each person the same…regardless of their differences,” and instead to support “equity,” which “focuses on the equality of the outcome.”
But it’s much worse than that. The propaganda about “white privilege,” “white supremacy,” and all the rest of it is so over the top that I promise you it’s worse than you imagined it could be.
