Summary
Walmart is scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts amid conservative backlash and changing cultural pressures.
The company removed LGBTQ-themed items, stopped sharing data with advocacy groups, and phased out supplier diversity programs and its Center for Racial Equity, created in 2020.
Walmart also rebranded its diversity roles, though it will continue funding events like Pride parades under stricter guidelines.
Activists opposing DEI policies, like Robby Starbuck, have praised these changes.
I think it may be silly to repeat their made up words. Let’s just call them classist, racist, and sexist since that is what it really is.
“Americans in general will reward them for being classist, racist and sexist.”
Yeah, I like that. It is a lot more visceral and accurate.
Less succinct, but indeed more clear. But you have to add things like transphobic and homophobic as well.
Oof, you’re right, I forgot about those and they are definitely part of the issue.
Maybe we could use bigotry here.
“Americans in general will reward them for their bigotry”
Yeah, that’s a good word for it.
