Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has become the latest manufacturer to drop diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives amid sustained pressure from anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck.
In a statement Monday, the Milwaukee-based company said it has not operated a corporate DEI function since April, no longer has minority-owned supplier goals and plans to exit socially motivated training for employees.
Harley-Davidson’s statement, posted on X, said that it sees “every leader’s role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers and the geographies in which we operate” – and the company would limit training to legal requirements.
As a company, we take this issue very seriously…
…by abandoning it completely. Fuck you, Harley-Davidson.
Peddling Chinese made toys for low energy, post manhood, American “patriots” living in a distopian freedom fantasy.
I can’t wait for those noise polluting fuckers to go out of business when the boomers die.
Can’t wait to see this company go bankrupt as all da boomers die off. Good riddance.
My understanding is, the engineering of their bikes is sub-optimal
Intentionally, as their fanbase thinks development is communist propoganda
Why do they say anti-woke when they can just say asleep?
you spelled ‘racist’ wrong
well, some of them are misogynists too
Some?
“Wake up sheeple!”
“No, not like that!”
I’m okay with boomer company disappearing in the market.
Always been a fan of Japanese bikes anyways.
Do you think Japanese companies are big on DEI?
They’re fine with a diversity of people who are ethnically Japanese.
Haley-Davidson, by racists for racists.
Who the fuck did they think was buying their motorcycles? Sure as hell wasn’t 20 year old lefties.
They did try for a lower cost entry model that was more sporty. That didn’t Pentwater the market at all. Like…at all at all.
Once these helmetless boomers die off, that company is up shits creek.
Fuck 'em.
They do have an electrical motorcycle branch that might keep the company alive if they lower prices. https://www.livewire.com/
Definitely won’t be as big as it is now though.
This reads like satire. I saw someone say the opposite of eating the onion was crying
If trump wins and fascism comes back, companies will be heiling. No surprise
Harley’s are hot garbage boomer bikes anyway. Get a Honda.

… “which means white and male only. Minorities and women need not apply.” -Harley Davidson probably
Someone’s gotta sell all their shitty merch
Something something…Weak men doing nothing…
Cowards.
Again with this Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Let him rest in peace with his face in a steering wheel in turn 4.
