Toyota Motor Corp. has joined the list of organizations in the United States that are refocusing their policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) following online backlash. The company last week sent a memo to its 5,000 US employees and 1,500 dealers stating that it will "narrow our community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness," Bloomberg reported. According to the report, the carmaker will also end its participation in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and other corporate culture surveys.

Is Toyota doing this because it didn't work? No.
Is Toyota doing this because employees didn't like it? No.
Toyota is doing this because of whiny idiots like Boaz frothing at the mouth online.

Toyota is doing it because the massive profits DEI was supposed to bring were a false promise based on a study that doesn't survive peer review.

They're doing it indirectly because of the Boazs of the world but specifically because of their 5,000 employees and 1,500 dealers.

Interesting source, boaz.

It included this fascinating story about the Kumquat Pol Pot's idea of a Secretary of whateverthefuk:

Tesla managers sent to workers' homes investigating sick leaves
Yeah! That's the ticket for the so-called smaller government political party.

Ahh yes, the mighty Toyota, dropping DEI to pander to people that already buy their trucks, by copying the Tesla tactic of politically alienating the other half of your customers. That makes way more sense than their just not being an ROI for the outlays that DEI consumes.

It is important for companies to take a stand one way or another. That way people know where to spend the money.
