Weird how these programs, many of which have been in place for 25-50 years, didn’t become racist against the white man until a person came along running on the white guy grievances platform, which is admittedly quite popular with its intended audience.
I also think you might be confusing DEI with critical race theory. Can you link DEI policies or provide company names for any company that explicitly says "white people are inherently racist and oppressive" in its policies or training materials? CRT theorizes white systems are inherently racist and oppressive, not white individuals. I learned CRT at a very intro level in 2001 in a 300-level sociology course, so I could be misremembering. But I am pretty sure it's the theory that white men rigged the game in this country to benefit themselves over anyone else.
End of the day, if these programs gotta go, they gotta go. I know they positively affected white women the most, and it might negatively affect minorities, the disabled veteran amputee, or the deaf/blind/mentally challenged person seeking employment or housing protections. But it won't hurt me, the straight, white, able-bodied male (and I'm pretty sure that's the point).
The good thing about all of this theater is we no longer hire based on race, gender or any other kind of identity nonsense. We only hire based on merit and qualifications.
I am so happy the president appointed a highly qualified, lifelong educator with a passion for educating children as Secretary of Education and not some perverted billionaire wrestling promoter's wife who happened to be longtime donors to and pals of the president. That would be like DEI for rich people and could be seen as hypocrisy.
