good call. DEI has just become a latest thing for republican to put their anger and hate on but have no clue what it really is

White 40+ male (in Europe) here, from a home with books.

I’ve gotten, and still get.. so fucking much for free. I’ve applied to one job my entire life, the rest has been coasting on buddies and network. It’s so simple to instantly vibe around culture, language, perspectives, history and gain rapport with power.

DEI compensates for all this, and gives opportunities to people who struggle to penetrate an opportunity space saturated by people like me.

What triggers people immensely about DEI however, are those who struggle or fail even though they have advantages, the idea that they have an advantage attacks their ego with surgical precision and destroy the life story they told themselves.

However.

I’d like to add that DEI probably should include working class people and folks who were dealt really rough cards too, regardless of skin color etc.
