"We Are An Equal Opportunity Employer": Diversity Doublespeak, Cheryl L. Wade Sep 2004

"We Are An Equal Opportunity Employer": Diversity Doublespeak, Cheryl L. Wade

Washington and Lee Law Review

There are too few discussions about race and race relations among corporate managers and directors. The rhetoric used in these infrequent discussions revolves around the idea of diversity in the workplace. In recent years, when speaking about employees and race issues, corporate actors have become curiously silent about discrimination and racism. This Article provides several examples of the rhetorical devices used by corporate spokespersons that ignore persisting problems with discrimination and racism by focusing solely on diversity efforts.
