00:00:00.000 Through the DEI, this diversity, equity, and inclusion lens, that is, these initiatives
00:00:10.980 are both in our national policies at a governmental level and also in institutions, like they're
00:00:19.280 in the hospitals, they're in universities, and they're in our workplaces as well.
00:00:24.560 Businesses have implemented DEI policies.
00:00:27.100 And there's this idea that the equity component of that is, it's equal outcomes.
00:00:34.940 And commonly you'll see, well, somebody will pull up stats and they'll say, well, look
00:00:40.820 at these people, a group of people based on a identifying, part of an identity group,
00:00:48.020 they're not doing as well as other people.
00:00:50.580 But we're just talking about this influx of immigration.
00:00:53.840 How is that messing with our equity numbers?
00:00:57.800 Because we would expect people who are either don't have the skills or maybe don't have the
00:01:03.780 full education to excel, or they haven't had enough time to really establish some roots in
00:01:09.360 a country.
00:01:09.780 If Canada has a 500,000 to a million per year now of immigration, that's going to show up 0.99
00:01:17.240 as proof of systemic discrimination against people who are not in these like dominant groups
00:01:27.460 or Caucasian, or it's going to be used as proof that more equity initiatives are needed.
00:01:35.120 And maybe not in the way that DEI advocates would want.
00:01:40.500 Yeah.
00:01:40.560 Yeah.
00:01:41.140 So.
00:01:41.600 Well, they're already, they're already facing hypocritical realities when it comes, like
00:01:47.100 Peter Boghossian talks about this all the time.
00:01:49.180 If, if SAT scores in the US were truly representative of who was led into post-secondary institutions,
00:01:57.560 51% of college students would be Asian.
00:02:00.900 And of course that isn't the case.
00:02:02.980 So there is, you know, people forget that it works both ways.
00:02:07.120 You know, you've, you've, in order to discriminate, discriminate on behalf of someone, you have
00:02:11.360 to discriminate against someone else.
00:02:13.180 So you're using, it just, it depends on what metric you want to equalize for.
00:02:16.620 Right.
00:02:17.180 Peterson's talking about this for years.
00:02:18.860 Current discrimination to fix like past injustices.
00:02:23.540 Yeah.
00:02:24.620 Yeah.
00:02:25.080 Well, that's Kendi's idea, right?
00:02:26.440 I mean, it's the only, it's the only remedy apparently.
00:02:28.580 He, I think he walked that, that quote back after.
00:02:32.200 Did he?
00:02:32.760 That's good.
00:02:33.800 I think it's no longer.
00:02:35.160 The smartest thing he's ever done.
00:02:36.320 No longer on his website.
