It's a complete mystery to non Americans why any of you would take issue with this principle. Same with 'progressive'. It's absurd. The status quo is often Destructive, Exclusive & Inept - as evidenced by the cabinet picks, with a Dangerous Egotistical Idiot at its head.
While I agree in theory, unfortunately it’s been used to promote/hire lesser qualified candidates. I’ve seen personally white men and women lose out to brown women even though the hires were far less capable/qualified. Managers were directed to hire more DEI so their scorecard looks better.
Good luck with that. These cases were executive roles, your career path would end. Companies went too far with presenting scorecards of DEI hires thus creating metrics internally that impact bonuses and advancement. Sadly, now any woman or POC is considered lesser and only there due to DEI.
This is exactly why DEI will always sit poorly with fragile white men, because of course there are SOOO many unqualified “DEI” hires that have pushed the white man down 🙄
I’m not saying it’s true, but that’s the narrative and obviously happens. We Dems always revert to the “screw the fragile white guy” narrative and continue to lose. Let’s accept reality and take control of the narrative or, continue losing. BYW, white women are also complaining about it.
You are saying a white man wouldn’t fight back against a “lesser qualified” candidate because obviously someone higher up said to him, they had to hire them because of DEI? That’s ridiculous. These stereotypes are what’s hurting America, not DEI.

Isn’t Kristi Noem just another Republican DEI hire?
And NOT as a Dog Eradicating Individual, but because she’s a WOMAN?!?!?
