AF Post on X - "Though April 2025’s overall unemployment rate stayed the same, Black women lost 38,000 jobs, saw 106,000 more unemployed, and faced a 6.1% jobless rate, up from 5.1% in March. The layoffs are likely caused by cuts to DEI programs, which benefited Black women disproportionately."
Ben Crump on X - "Black women lost 38,000 jobs in April, the most of any group. Economists say this sharp rise is tied to the administration's anti-DEI agenda. Black women are sadly paying the price. This is more than just policy — it’s harm."
If you don't get a job that shouldn't exist because it actively destroys value, that's discrimination. This ties into the idea that black people are already getting reparations through make-work programs
The Welsh Government should be ashamed of its minority grant scheme - "There are five days left to apply for the Welsh Government’s Culture Grant Scheme for Grassroot organisations, but there is a caveat: applying organisations cannot be led by or be for the benefit of white, heterosexual, able-bodied individuals. The campaign group Senedd Waste has discovered the grant which is worth £234,000 of taxpayers’ money in total... The irony is that Diverse Cymru has a strap-line which claims to be “[P]romoting equality for all”. It is a strange kind of equality which excludes the overwhelming majority of the Welsh population, which, according to the latest census in 2021, is 93.8 percent white... It has become a hallmark of DEI programmes to include statements which are openly anti-white in the name of “equality”. Pitting Britain’s minorities against its indigenous population over the years has already begun to unravel the country’s social fabric. The fact that it is being done by the public sector at taxpayers’ expense is utterly disgraceful."
ProZD (SumWon Cho) leaves Twitter after getting called out for voicing non-Asian character (and his hypocrisy) : r/KotakuInAction - "Context: You guys might remember this guy was a major advocate for voice actors only voicing characters that match their race in the name of “diversity”. Then he’d complain about only being given Asian character roles, and wanted to voice white characters. Now he just announced he was going to voice a white character in an upcoming show/series, only to be immediately called out for his hypocrisy. What did he do instead of backtracking his take? Run away, double down, and play victim. It’s such a shame since I used to watch his videos a lot. Now I can’t even look at him without feeling disgust. And as an Asian myself, he does NOT represent the majority of us. And as I’ve said before, the entire VA industry needs an overhaul. Now we’ll probably need to wait and see more of his hypocrisy on BlueSky."

"Yes, the old Martin Luther King Jr Drew Medical Center was staffed with black doctors. It was shuttered in 2007 due to mismanagement: patients were routinely given the wrong drugs, and the hospital had an extremely high death rate. Local gang members who had been shot were terrified of being sent to the hospital which they dubbed "killer king" because of the likelihood of being killed on the operating table. Gang members routinely pied with ambulance drivers to reroute them to other hospitals."

South Asians: 9% of pop. but 17% of ads

Two other important issues:
1. White men grossly under-represented
2. When featured, white men are often portrayed negatively (as dim, helpless, incompetent or bad). One will almost never see a black man portrayed negatively
Why do people think they are being bombarded with ethnic minorities in advertising? Because they are. Almost every advertiser wishes to demonstrate their DEI credentials. Thus, should a commercial break feature 6 adverts, there's a strong chance that every one of those 6 adverts will feature black and Asian people. Seeing ad after ad pushing the same progressive / DEI narrative will inevitably lead many - if not most - people to think they are being bombarded and manipulated. It is true, however, that Asians do not feature as prominently in ads as black people. There are at least two reasons for this:
1. The continuing impact of George Floyd / Black Lives Matter in the corporate world.
2. I suspect another reason may be rooted in the belief (conscious or unconscious) that black people (meaning Caribbean) are better integrated into British society than many Asians.
With no native language other than English, and being predominantly of Christian heritage, the belief would be that Caribbean people are culturally closer to white people and British culture - and therefore are a safer bet for commercials. In other words, I suspect that advertisers (consciously or unconsciously) believe viewers will more readily accept / think it more natural to see black people in adverts doing everyday things like having a BBQ, going to down to the pub or watching a football match.

Yet turn on the TV, and you’d think half the country is in a mixed marriage. Britain is 70%+ white, 4% black, 7% Muslim, 3% mixed. If you want to be “inclusive,” then show the country as it actually is. Real inclusion isn’t forcing diversity, it’s reflecting reality."

It is not racist to notice black and Asian people are overrepresented on TV adverts - "Sarah Pochin’s remarks have received cross-party condemnation. Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting, Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp, and Liberal Democrat MP Josh Babarinde have all labelled the comments as racist. Pochin herself has apologised for her remarks; she said they were “phrased poorly”, but maintained that many adverts were “unrepresentative of British society”. In an interview with TalkTV’s Peter Cardwell, the Reform MP complained about TV adverts being full of black and Asian people – those who are “anything other than white”... It is not bigoted to observe what we can see with our own eyes. The advertising world, primarily based in multicultural London, may think they are being inclusive; but they are the ones who are out of touch with modern Britain. Not just in terms of faithfully reflecting the demographic make-up of the country, but in ignoring the views of normal people who point out the obvious."
But if you complain that TV adverts are full of white people, that's brave and stunning, even though white people are the majority
Ike Ijeh on X - "When a white MP says TV ads are too black, she's called a racist & told to resign. But when a black actress said the royal family were too white, she was praised by the left & ironically made the star of a Christmas TV ad campaign. Racial entitlement has replaced racial equality."
How Britain’s ads became obsessed with hitting ‘woke’ targets - "Not so long ago, casting took place for a commercial based on a film that starred a famous white actor. The ad agency was delighted to have found a “very good lookalike”. Their joy was short-lived. “A few days before the shoot, we were told to recast the ad with a black actor because we needed more ethnic representation,” says a source close to the project, who does not wish to be named. “Since there were only two people in the ad, and we’d already cast an Asian woman in the other role, we were, to say the least, somewhat mystified.” This insider’s experience may sound extreme, but it is just one example of the way in which ad-land has become obsessed with diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) over the past five years... Jaguar was widely ridiculed for its ad featuring models of all ages and races stepping out of a space age-style lift adorned in avant-garde make-up and clothes, with various slogans such as “delete ordinary” and “live vivid” – but not showing any cars. The New York Post described it as “the latest example of idiotic and woke corporate virtue signalling”. Now there are signs that Britain is following suit. The new John Lewis Christmas advert, released this week and a signal to many consumers that the festive season has begun, features what appears to be an all-white family, and is a far cry from the “woke confusion” of its 2021 effort (which featured more ethnic diversity, a sustainability message and an alien)... many ad-industry insiders believe that Britons are growing tired of advertising campaigns that put virtue signalling and tokenism ahead of authentic messages... Pochin blamed this kind of DEI casting on the “woke liberati” in the “arty-farty world” (most UK ad agencies are based in London), saying: “It might be fine inside the M25, but it’s definitely not representative of the rest of the country.”... He recalled one occasion when he was asked to find a woman of colour for a radio ad. “I said, ‘That’s fine. What accent do you want? Jamaican? African? Indian?’ ‘Oh no, we don’t want the accent,’ I was told. But it’s a radio commercial! How will anyone know the voiceover isn’t white? So why are you doing this? Obviously box-ticking.” Over-correcting is also reductive. “If it doesn’t matter to the idea behind the ad what ethnicity an actor is,” says Keeble, “choose the best actor for the role.” Burke believes that the report commissioned for Channel 4 will have left advertisers breathing a sigh of relief – because, by highlighting the under-representation in ads of other sectors of society, such as the over-70s, it gives them an excuse to reset their casting criteria. “They won’t say, ‘We’ll be showing more white people’ – but that’s what’s likely to happen,” he says. Michael Chapman, a former vice-chairman of advertising agency Ogilvy, saw the backlash – and in particular its tangible financial effect – coming. In 2023, he wrote a letter to The Times regarding a report in that newspaper about the public’s impression that TV over-represents ethnic minorities. “If so, a major reason is TV advertising,” he said. “Advertising today is often more concerned with signalling its clients’ virtue than with selling their products. The result is less efficient advertising and so less value for money. When clients finally wake up to this, perhaps there will be a change – but not until then.”... The way an ethnic group is depicted in an advert can also backfire on a client. Heinz came under attack last year over an advert displayed in London Tube stations featuring a wedding scene where a black bride’s father appeared to be absent. Critics said it perpetuated negative stereotypes."
DEI Made the Democratic Party Less Diverse | Opinion - Newsweek - "For all the talk of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from the Democratic Party, the 2024 election results demonstrate that its voter base has ironically become less diverse. Exit polls show that Democrats lost ground across a broad range of voter groups—Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and both the working and middle class. The only demographic where they made notable gains at the presidential level was among college-educated white voters. So, what went wrong? For years, DEI experts told us that viewing racial issues through the lens of colorblind equality overlooked the unique struggles of oppressed groups. They claimed that without addressing racial disparities head-on, often by discriminating against majority groups, real progress wouldn't be made. It turns out they were wrong. Because they bought into the DEI agenda, Democrats were too busy trying to look diverse to actually listen to the concerns of diverse groups of people. Prioritizing "representation" of minorities meant compromising on the quality of their candidate pool. Prior to picking Kamala Harris as his running mate, President Joe Biden specifically said he'd prefer to pick a candidate "who was of color and/or a different gender." The media praised Harris' selection as a "historic" choice of the first Black and Asian woman to be nominated for vice president, despite her being one of the least popular candidates among Democrats in 2020. And in 2024, Democrats paid a hefty price for choosing a candidate based on identity rather than merit. The Democrats' sacrifice of merit for identity only alienated minority voters in their base. Minority voters have grown tired of the paternalistic attitude DEI-obsessed progressives have fostered. Academics infamously tried to impose the gender-neutral term "Latinx" onto Hispanics. Coined around 2004, the term gained prominence throughout the last decade, with Merriam Webster adding the word to its dictionary in 2018. But Hispanics consistently rejected being referred to as "Latinx." Academics and progressives ignored their complaints. And now a recent study shows that Hispanics are less likely to vote for candidates who use the term. Democrats' focus on identity politics also alienated Asian-American voters. Shortly after the Supreme Court ruled against race-based discrimination in college admissions, many Democrats voiced their disdain for the decision... Although Black voters remain a key voting bloc for Democrats, the Trump campaign still made surprising inroads with the group—especially among Black men. Perhaps the infantilizing rhetoric Democrats regularly use towards Black people can provide a clue as to why those voters have started to move away from the party. New York governor Kathy Hochul's gaffe—implying Black children in the Bronx didn't know what computers were—perfectly exhibits how dismissively Democrats view the Black community. Just weeks before the election, former president Barack Obama publicly shamed Black men who supported Trump over Harris. If Democrats continue down this path, they risk pushing Black voters into the arms of the Republican Party, just like they did with Hispanics and Asians. Ironically, all the emphasis on DEI seemed to resonate most with college-educated white voters, who remained a Democratic stronghold in 2024. In other words, DEI was never truly about helping minorities; it was about allowing wealthy white elites to feel better about themselves. As much as the media, universities, and some Democratic leaders want to attribute the results of the 2024 election to racism and sexism, the truth is that Democrats were out of touch. Voters, including minority voters, were worried about inflation and border security, and Republicans were addressing those issues. Ignoring those concerns and doubling down on DEI will only continue to make the Democratic coalition less diverse."
Steve Sailer on X - "New on SteveSailer dot Net: DEI Cuts Causing Black Unemployment to Surge Nobody seems to know how big of a boost blacks got from racial preferences because social scientists were averse to studying the sheer scale of affirmative action preferences over the 56 years. Link below"
i/o on X - "Within a few years, race-based affirmative action would become normal in college admissions. Americans were told that it was necessary in order to remedy inequalities and that it wouldn't be needed for more than a generation. But the black students who enrolled at elite schools were considerably less academically qualified than white students. (A Princeton sociologist who looked at the data found a 300-400 point SAT difference.) At first, Harvard and other schools sought to identify promising black students from lower-income backgrounds and admit them. But this policy — which concerned itself with actual inequality — ran into trouble when some of these students engaged in behavior that Harvard found unacceptable, and so, by the 90s, blacks admitted to Harvard undergrad tended to overwhelmingly come from the same type of upper-middle class background as the white students. (In the 2010s, black undergrads at Harvard were found to have parental household incomes 2 to 3 times higher than the average white household in the US. They were also largely not even descendants of American slavery.) And so the rationale for continuing to discriminate against whites and Asians had to be changed, and it was: Affirmative action became about increasing "diversity.""
Eric Kaufmann on X - "Authors of a new paper claiming minorities are discriminated against in academia inadvertently revealed that Blacks & Hispanics average far fewer publications than whites & Asians. They have misrepresented their data to promote DEI. My latest @unherd"
i/o on X - "At the end of the DEI and affirmative action pipeline that admits less intellectually capable blacks and Hispanics into undergrad and graduate institutions, and then gets them hired over more capable white and Asian male PhDs once they apply to faculty positions, is the arena of competitive published research, in which by some form of magical thinking we're supposed to believe that these measurably less intellectually capable academics will suddenly produce publishable research with the same frequency and of the same quality as those white and Asian academics who had performed at a higher level than them throughout the entire education experience. But black and Hispanic academics won't produce the same frequency and quality of research. Because they can't, and there was never an explanation of how they could be expected to do this, probably because no one dared ask for one."
Science magazine promotes faulty race discrimination claim - "The term “p-hacking” is used to describe quantitative analysis which manipulates the data to find a significant finding that can be spun to support one’s priors. In this case, the authors did not pre-register the hypothesis they were going to test, allowing them to flex their hypothesis to match what they could mine from the data using a trial-and-error approach... minority scholars are much less productive than white and Asian scholars, controlling for scholarly discipline and years as an academic. Academic output scores for the 8,157 white/Asian and 776 black/Hispanic case studies are significant at the powerful .1% level, but this goes unreported in the paper. The same pattern shows up in the sciences and social sciences/humanities. Women underperform men by an even larger amount. In addition, white or Asian candidates for full professor are significantly less likely to be promoted than black and Hispanic candidates for a given level of publications. This reverse discrimination result is significant at the powerful .1 percent level. While this finding is briefly mentioned in the body of the paper, it is downplayed in the abstract, conclusion and marketing. While the authors did find that minorities with weak publication records were disadvantaged compared to whites/Asians with weak records, this held true only for associate professors, not professors — where the reverse was true — and only on one measure and not the other. This is likely an artefact of the method and data collection, hardly the basis for a shouty headline about systemic discrimination. Most academic proponents of DEI, or social justice, rely on pseudo-conspiratorial meta-theories such as critical race theory or flabby qualitative methods such as “auto-ethnography” (a.k.a. contemplating one’s navel) to buttress their knowledge claims. No wonder James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian were able to publish so many hoax papers in grievance studies journals merely by parroting feminist and critical race theory buzzwords. However, laundering radical Left ideas enough to sell them to organisations requires at least some scientific patina. Even a thin quantitative foundation can be enough to backstop what Doug Stokes terms the grievance-industrial complex, with its well-remunerated institutional programme of radical indoctrination and race or sex discrimination. We’ve seen this with claims of sex discrimination in academia, which have failed to replicate, and with faulty arguments that diversity improves corporate performance. Rigorous studies which come to the wrong conclusions go uncited while weak papers like this one grab the limelight and make it into diversity training workshops. Don’t be fooled again."

"Before moving to Seattle with her husband seven years ago, Priya Chauhan had never worked in digital design. She came from the print publishing world, where she worked on children's books, coffee table books, travel guides, catalogs, window display posters, chocolate and biscuit tins and all kinds of seasonal marketing, If you lived in London at that time, you probably saw her designs throughout the city and in magazines. But once she started working for Microsoft five years ago, she entered a fast- moving space where she could make global impact. (The first time she used a PC or Windows was her first day at the company. Now she only uses PCs and Windows.) Chauhan started on services and store fronts, then Microsoft Rewards. Then she moved to the Windows team. As a designer working on a new, signature feature for Windows 11 widgets she measured success by one thing: how it could make people happy. She wanted something that would give people a peek into what's most important to them. Widgets, which may be familiar to anyone who's used a smartphone or tablet, offer a personalized pop-up collection of information on weather, sports scores and other bits of information.
