Four years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks, McDonald’s is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.
McDonald’s is the latest big company to shift its tactics in the wake of the 2023 ruling and a conservative backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Walmart, John Deere, Harley-Davidson and others rolled back their DEI initiatives last year.

It’s interesting how quickly these companies are sensing the environment is safe for them to do this.
I hope no one forgets this betrayal of humanity.
they were always in the same mindset anyways profit>humanity
You mean a corporation never actually cared about social issues and just does what is seen as overall more profitable for the time?
Oh no, the giant corporation that threw a rainbow filter on it’s PR page for June turned out to not actually care about human rights?!? I’m so surprised! This is my super surprise face! I have literally never been more surprised!
Anyways…
More culture war distaction from the class war.
It can be two things.
Now is the time to see which corporations really want diversity.
None the answer is none all they want is money with money on top of that money, they do what think will bring them money and with fascist in power diversity won’t do that
Not “none.” Costco is a counterexample.
DEI was always performative bullshit.
Performative bullshit is a good sign about where society is at.
Yeah, I mean, what does it say when they don’t even bother pretending anymore?
Crazy how much this aligns with who is in office.
Oh no, another reason not to go to McDonald’s.
Yeah, if this is what stops anyone from going there instead of their outrageous prices, they’re part of the problem.
I don’t care about McDs in any way except for them to disappear entirely, but seriously - whoever’s in their PR department is either unhappy, overworked, or possibly missing. All the McD’s stories lately are Not Good.
I quit eating McDonald’s ages ago. What a trash establishment both in food quality and in policy.
Don’t forget to mention the egregious prices.
$3 for a small fry.
Great point! Shitty low quality food at outrageous prices.
🎵Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Baaaa— I’m hatin’ it🎵
More like people aren’t applying. This seems like a concerted spin on their inability to staff locations.
This is fear of trump and his gestapo.
I assume this is more for corporate and management as opposed to staffing locations?
I’d buy more expensive burgers if the Hispanic, Asian, and Black women behind the counter were all white blue eyed tall men. $20 dollar big Mac? Sure! So long as you can’t make a hoop!
Yeah, it’s sad how much we’ve conditioned people to ignore how much things cost and what they’re really worth.
No, actually I saw the movie, white men can jump and hoop. I’ll have the fries.
