Replace DEI with "Jews" or "ni**ers" and you see what the game is.

And while we are at it, we need to stop using "woke," ever, since it was co-opted by the right to mean something that it is not. And we need to not use "CRT" or respond to the right wing misuse of "CRT." When we do, we legitimate their misuse and misappropriation of "CRT."
