I think the ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion is progressive nonsense, but I agree with pretty much everything else. I don’t care what your race or gender is. I care that you’re the most qualified for the job. A black, gay doctor can do my prostate exam - I don’t care at all - I just want them to be good at their job.
DEI is just racial discrimination in reverse. We discriminate against white people as a group to help minorities. The problem is that loads of white people need help just as much as minorities. Saying that minorities need it more because other white people have been successful in the past is still you racially discriminating against a new prospective student/employee because they happen to share the same race as those previous people. It has nothing to do with that person’s level of need versus a minority individual’s level of need.
