DEI is used as an excuse, a cudgel, a way of expressing racism without fear of retaliation by the media, employers, and our government. I’ve met a few who don’t know what DEI stands for only that it’s said a lot and is negative.

An extension of the racially coded language ginned up by Reagan which allowed both parties to implement racist policies, almost always aimed at Blacks, under the guise of 'law and order', without any fear of being called out. Instead, they received enthusiastic support from the media.
