Whatever laudable intentions those who brought DEI to the medical profession might have had, it has been harmful to the profession and medical care. From A Midwestern Doctor at rwmalonemd.substack.com:

Diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) is an immensely controversial subject. I believe this controversy has arisen since people have strong reasons to support either side of the argument and because it is being forced upon us by both the government and multinational corporations.
For example, ESG scores have been used as a metric to calculate the social value of corporations, and a vital component of an ESG score is the company’s commitment to advancing diversity both within the company and in society. Since ESG scores are used by many (such as Blackrock—the largest asset holder in the world) to determine which corporation to invest in, a lot of money is at stake, and many corporations have gone to great lengths in promoting left-wing causes to attract ESG-focused investors.
Note: In 2023, Vanguard (the second largest asset holder) distanced itself from ESG investing, with its CEO arguing that ESG investing is incompatible with Vanguard’s fiduciary duties to the investors. Fewer than 1 in 7 of Vanguard’s active equity managers outperformed the broad market in any five-year period, and none of them relied exclusively on a net-zero (ESG) investment methodology.
Depending on how one looks at it, I believe any of the following can be argued about DEI:
•It’s an attempt to address a legitimate issue.
•It’s a smokescreen.
•It’s a power play.
•It’s a mass formation.
Although many of the initial justifications for DEI were valid, at this point, it has transformed into something accomplishing the opposite of what was initially intended. In many cases, the harm of DEI is only evident if you are actively involved in the field it affects. Since I am in medicine, my focus will be on how DEI has affected medicine, but much of what I say holds for other fields as well.
Won’t be going anywhere near McHealthcarez and if carried in, then it is probably too late anyway.
Will there be time to make cute Tik Tok (CCP) videos during the next plandemic?
Honk, honk!
How about an actual witch doctor with nose bone at esteemed CPUSA indoctrination centers like Harvard.
You have a referral to Johns Hopkins to see Dr. Nosebone!
