You haven't presented any evidence for your claims so I don't see why I should change my mind.

Bro, you're grasping for straws. You clearly implied that buying Chinese EVs was preferable to buying Teslas, but it was Trump's tariffs making that difficult.

As opposed to posting memes to elicit emotional responses?

Ah, good argument. I'm totally convinced now and will immediately change my opinion.

Because it's diversity for diversity's sake. It encourages people to maximize on their unchangeable attributes like skin color or sexual orientation instead of any actual skills.

And do you think the cops would remove me from your house before giving me a trial?

Why don't I get to stay? I demand to stay at your house until this is sorted out.

Businesses aren't people.

Where did I claim that?

No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That's why we have a government.

Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn't correct itself as fast as it could.

Yeah, no, that is exactly what was claimed.

The assumption of rational actors is standard practice in economics, basically every single theorem depends on that. When I pointed out that racism isn't rational, the argument changed to "well, you can't assume that everyone is rational".

Yes. I know. I have a fucking degree in this field. Believe it or not, people have figured out how to deal with that problem a long time ago. Look up the Efficient Market Paradox, and you'll see why rationality is still a sensible assumption to make.

Nobody chooses to be white either.

What was the evidence that convinced you?

If rationality is overrated and DEI is rational, isn’t this an argument to discard it? Conversely, if it isn’t, isn’t this an argument that DEI is irrational?
