Entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently defended a social media user’s rant about diversity and inclusion, emphasizing the importance of understanding and empathy in the workplace.
What Happened: On Thursday, Cuban responded to a social media post criticizing diversity and inclusion at work. The post claimed that Cuban wouldn’t hire a certain individual due to fears of potential legal issues related to misgendering.
Earlier in the same thread on X, formerly Twitter, the poster had included the video of a person who had expressed their opinion on their work situation and referred to being misgendered and not being assigned to duties for a considerable length of time by their employer.
The “Shark Tank” fame investor said about the person in the video, “He says the post was a rant. He rants. More power to him.”
“I don’t know a single thing about him other than he is experiencing the angst and frustration that too many people feel.”
