All the large corporations quickly pounced on the latest euphemism for anti-white discrimination, after it was successfully used at the USSC to uphold the racist admission policies at the University of Michigan, ie, "DI-versity". Now, you look at any of their web sites, and you'll find incoherent, illogical, craven, tortured "DI-versity statements" - here's the butt-kissing speech at Ford, from the white male uncle tom who runs the place:
Oh, almost forgot - Ford is laying off 2000 salaried workers:

It'll be mostly white guys, but that's OK - nobody will be left who knows how to do anything, and they'll "DI-verse" a hundred year old company out of business.
Ford is a global business. We have a lot of talented people working together, and our performance will be determined by the breadth and the depth of our inclusion of all of our people.
[How did you do before "DI-versity", never sold a Ford overseas? ]
The more we embrace
[this gooey "embrace" word always appears in "DI-versity statements" - they do the "embracing", but it's the white guys who get F____ed]
our differences within Ford—diversity of thought, experience, perspective, race, gender, faith
[faith? You can make transmissions better if you have wiccans, hindus, and devil worshippers on the payroll?]
and more—the better we can deliver what the customers want and the more successful Ford will be.
My priority is to ensure that inclusion at Ford is at the highest level of performance so that we include all employees deeply,
["include all employees deeply" - what could that possibly mean?]
thoughtfully and broadly in the business. It's about respecting each other and listening to each other. It's about one global team working together.
I always find it very interesting when someone asks me, "What is the business case for diversity?"
[ "and when nobody else is listening, I tell them it's about heading off shakedown race lawsuits"]
Successful companies are ones that satisfy their customer's wants, needs and desires.
[see below exactly how "successful" you've been lately with your "DI-verse" tribe of eskimoes, ubangis, aztecs ]
The data clearly show that if your customer base is global and diverse and you reflect their perspectives and their knowledge, you're going to have a better chance for success. The closer you get to their emotional
[building cars requires "emotional roots" huh? ]
and intellectual roots, the better you're going to communicate with them.
So what's the business case for diversity? It's the only business case we need—the only way to satisfy diverse customers is to include their perspectives inside the company. This is especially true for Ford, because we probably have the most diverse set of customers in the world.
