[blindLaw] DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and affirmative action — why don’t these things benefit disabled people who needed the most as much as it does the other groups that are on top and don’t really need it, or deserve it

[omar duncan]

Hi is anyone able to explain why the institution of Affirmative action and
all of this stuff pertaining to affirmative action like dei (diversity,
equity and inclusion) have a pyramid that is completely
Reversed in terms
Of who is on the top and prioritized  over other  so called protected
classes?


As I see  it, groups  that are protected and on the top of the pyramid that
in this day  and age don’t really have a legitimate claim to the pyramid
 because they are doing better socio economically or are not really
affected in this day and age due to changing social and political landscape
take precedence  over  people who have  who have disabilities, and we have
the skills knowledge and ability to the job well but not  the opportunity
—the main reason for affirmative action creation .


To be exact, the top of the pyramid would be gender (like women) and then
racial minorities —or the main beneficiaries.

To keep things short, I will ask this:

when we as disabled people
Or visually impaired , to be exact, are deprived  of  opportunities the
most compared to these other  groups like women and racial groups like
— and we alls stand to benefit more from affirmative action protocols and
are on the bottom of the food chain and underrepresented and not given
adequate opportunity despite having the skill and need opportunities the
most, how come society makes these groups like  at the top of the list as
the main beneficiaries of this institution.


For context, I can cite the specific groups on top of us in the list of
beneficiaries but  I assume everyone in  here is self aware to the extent
they can recognize what groups are places on top of us that do not need
these opportunities afforded by affirmative action, let alone deserve them.



For context again, merit is importantly  at the end of the day and ideology
should not be place so we the ability to the job or task—however, when
people like us have the experience , the hunger to do work, and the
schooling and losses the merit , we are not given adequate opportunities or
opportunities at all and that is what must change.

This is important stuff and collective action on this can really change
live for us.
