It’s about on par with a PoC claiming they suffer from racism and being told to prove it, since their experiences count for nothing. Would you have responded to a black guy the same way?
I never said your experiences don’t count for anything, but it’s outlandish for you to think that you speak for everyone in your community. Just because YOU weren’t chosen by DEI doesn’t mean that others didn’t get in. Which is why, again, your experiences don’t equate to everyone else.
