Summary
Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.
Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing “illegal discrimination” against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.
Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.
The proposal will be voted on at Costco’s January 23 shareholder meeting.
I’m just gonna be blunt, I don’t think you understand the topic of workplace discrimination. If you can’t even parse DEI and demographically-driven hiring quotas it’s hard to take your broader opinions on discrimination in the workplace seriously. That’s like arguing about computers and thinking a hard drive and ram serve the same function because they both involve “memory.” You fundamentally misunderstand these systems.
Maybe true. I’ll do more research going forward.
Full disagree with you that I’m bigoted though. You mentioned women in executive positions. Women aren’t in executive positions because they don’t want to be, not the other way around.
My friend you need to do a LOT of research. You’re repeating ancient Fox News myths.
