Grand Summary (Racial Diversity in the Workplace)

  Grand Summary Racial Diversity in the workplace Below are the list of the my 6 previous blog posts on the topic of Diversity in the Workplace and the overall DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) agenda across both public and private institutional landscape. In the First blog, I cited a Reuters article announcing how U.S. Supreme Court recently (2023, June 29) rejected Affirmative Action in university admissions citing that this is unconstitutional to discriminate against Asian and white students in order to fill racial quota.

While the official goal of diversity, equity, and Inclusion might seem benign, it is an infringement on constitutional right whose ultimate outcome is a general dumbing down intended to solely benefit corporate and governmental elites. In order to show how this DEI trend is ethically dubious and is ultimately pushed by corporate enti...

Personal Vision, Mission, and S.M.A.R.T.

 Personal vision : To be an active professional in international trade and to become a pillar of my community 10 years from now Personal mission : Work hard and intelligently in aspects of the supply chain to establish myself as a important member of the logistic industry. S.M.A.R.T. :  My short term plan in the next 2 years is to get a part-time position in the logistic industry (companies such as UPS) so that I can transition into doing a full time co-op program as required by RRC. By doing so I can finish my education at RRC and get a foot in the industry that I want to work in.  My medium plan in the next 5 years is to network and familiarize myself with the Canadian professional work environment as well as the logistic industry. Specifically, I will learn more about the policies, procedures and regulations surrounding international shipping as well the key players in the industry.  My long term 10 year-plan is to establish my own import/export business to establ...

Big corporations push for racial diversity

  This article on MarketWatch lists a host of corporations and companies including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Paypal, GM, Salesforces that are pouring money into charity organizations, political movements, and advocacy groups pushing for racial diversity and racial justice as of 2020. Their donations added up to 45% of total funding for racial equity movement in 2020 (Albrecht, 2021). The article also points out how there are many transparency problems with the entire processing of financing these "racial justice" movements. These companies do not always publicly disclose how much and where they donate the money and clients and recipients also sometimes do not want to disclose their identity. In addition, the article also raise questions about how much of the funding will actually impact real life of minority groups.  This article shows me that across the spectrum, big corporations are making a big push to politicize race and are spending a lot of money both financing dubious ...
