I know. I wish it was treated as such. I really hope people in the future come to value nuance.

‘trump taunted’ is not news. The other half of the country sees this as a big dick power move. You can spin it any way you like. Pointless journalism. What’s the point?

Respectfully I disagree. I think the way the argument is presented here discourages open discussion

I think it’s important to distinguish between diversity, equity, and inclusion as CONCEPTS and DEI as an organization and initiative.

It is possible to be pro- diversity, equity, and inclusion and be opposed to mismanaged efforts in DEI as a PROGRAM.

This post assumes that DEI as a government initiative is working perfectly and has no downsides, presenting it in a way that closes it off to criticism.

Does every system have to be perfect? Of course not. It’s better to have a system pushing for good that’s imperfect than none at all, but framing it like this is gaslighting and hurts discussion on both sides.
