In a heated debate on Fox News, Stephen A. Smith challenged the narrative surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as being synonymous with hiring unqualified minorities. He cautioned against simplistic criticisms, particularly following recent aviation accidents, where some suggested the FAA's hiring practices based on DEI contributed to the issues. Smith emphasized the need for accountability and the complexity of DEI, arguing that disparaging individuals based on their race or background was reductive and unfounded.
I don't want to hear DEI automatically being about people who happen to be minorities that are unqualified. That's not the argument.
The focus on hiring individuals with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities must be addressed, not just dismissed in the name of criticism.
