This. R-slur is in wide use. People get upset and complain when it’s used. Say the n-slur in front of the wrong person, and you’ll be drinking through a straw.

Pretty sure calling someone a "DEI hire" to their face would get a similar reaction. Or it should anyway because it's a distinction without a difference.

When I have seen violence come from the n-slur, The violent reaction comes viscerally. They have an intense emotional reaction - not an intellectual one. I can't say if this is a direct trauma response, but from the outside I would use the term triggered to describe it. the dogwhistle 1/

which is to say DEI hire, is not responded to viscerally, but intellectually. Thats part of the benefit of dogwhistles. The principle of using soft language to avoid visceral reactions and make your message better heard, applied to racism.
