    DEI is the new N word. It’s a racist dog whistle.

      Hold up.

      It’s also sexist.

        It’s literally all forms of bigotry, because anyone of any disadvantaged group could be called “DEI.”

        The only group it doesn’t apply to is rich, white, able-bodied, straight, cis, Christian, never-jailed, well -educated men*.

        I might have missed an adjective, but you get the idea.

        That other black guy (remember that dude from the McCain/Palin days?), he must be PISSED that he’s lost the role of Token.

        EDIT: Michael Steele. Somehow, I dragged that from the recesses of my memory.

      It’s like the N-word and the C-word had a baby, and that baby was raised by all the bad words for Jews.

      its the new woke.

      still a dogwhistle though.

      theres surely a reason why they regularly change up the terminology like this.

      This use is a racist fog horn, but otherwise I agree.

      Starting to feel it’s gone beyond a dog whistle. Most of those are far more low-key, like “thug” or “urban” or “welfare queen”. And this one is more clearly defined by facts and usage than “woke”.

      They might as well come out and say, “This is what comes from hiring n*****s and women!”

        They’re pathetic fucking cowards who won’t just say what they mean because they know they can’t win running as open racists.

        Diversity Equality Inclusivity

        DEI initiatives have been popular in organizations in the past decade to increase diversity. This angers fascists, so they mock and attack it.

    A mediocre politician from a gerrymandered district thinks someone else got an unfair advantage? That’s cute.

    Attacking her for her race and gender is just lazy.

      Attacking her on something else would require a modicum of expert knowledge, which is clearly too much to ask of any GOP member.

    “When I hear her talk, I just scratch my head and think this is what DEI is really about. It clearly is. She checks all the boxes. She’ll say she’s of Indian descent one day, then she’ll say she’s of Black descent. It’s just box-checking.”

    Bro has never heard of multi-racial people? I guess it kind of makes sense when you still live by the “one drop of blood” rule like it’s 1816. You’re either white or you’re wrong to this dumb mother fucker.

    And so it begins, lol.

    These idiots can’t help themselves, and they don’t understand that they’re hurting their own chances. Their brains simply aren’t wired to comprehend that normal human beings don’t respond positively to this stuff.

    Okay. Feel free to run with that, Republicans. If you vote against DEI, you are going to suffer if you don’t look like any of these people in the photo below:

    trump and co.

    If you are a white woman, you still won’t be treated fairly.
