      It stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Short form for the framework of programs that provide equity to all people in work, life, whatever. Relevant because those programs are being challenged and gutted in a number of different countries.

      To be fair, some of the censorship is words like “raped”, “young”, and “children”. Not in that exact order of course…

    This comic seems out dated. Right now a lot more people are in a similar situation, regardless of ethnicity. The only ones at the top are those of the upper class.

    Then there are the racists who are all below like everyone else, but in their unintelligence turn against their fellows.

    The only ones at the top right now are the rich cunts who profit from ethnic and cultural divides.

      Put it this way: you as a working class white person may need one box to see the game, but a working class black person needs two boxes (because they need to overcome poverty and systemic racism, while you only need to overcome poverty)

      Nobody is denying the struggle of the working class, but working class white people (specifically cis men) need to recognize that other working class groups are also struggling the same struggle but dealing with additional issues of racism, misogyny, trans/homophobia, etc. at the same time.

        You cannot have equity without first enforcing equality. Otherwise equity just becomes spoiled entitled behavior.

        Equality is absolute.

      a lot more people are in a similar situation

      There’s been a massive increase in white people being pulled over and arrested for no reason?

      ICE is snatching white folks now?

      Shit, I missed a lot of changes I guess.

      The timeline of the comic is also wrong - I’m supposed to feel white guilt over this original sin because a 3x+ great great great ancestor I never met took immoral actions?

        No, you’re not supposed to feel guilty or get emotional about it. You’re supposed to realize you live in a fundamentally racist society, one that is as physically segregated as it was in the 1950s. And you’re supposed to rationally accept that people of different skin colors fundamentally do not have the same opportunities. You’re not supposed to get your panties in a knot about what is otherwise a very straightforward problem of resource allocation.

        Not guilty. No one said you, in particular, had to feel guilty. Maybe upset that friends, family and neighbours are getting shafted.

      “class struggle” doesn’t give you the excuse to downplay and minimize the real systematic oppression of colored people and the fact that they have it way worse even if “everyone is struggling” they have extra barriers to overcome.

      It’s always been a class struggle, racism and lack of education etc… have been tools to divide the workers.
