      its the new woke.

      still a dogwhistle though.

      theres surely a reason why they regularly change up the terminology like this.

      Starting to feel it’s gone beyond a dog whistle. Most of those are far more low-key, like “thug” or “urban” or “welfare queen”. And this one is more clearly defined by facts and usage than “woke”.

      They might as well come out and say, “This is what comes from hiring n*****s and women!”

        They’re pathetic fucking cowards who won’t just say what they mean because they know they can’t win running as open racists.

      Attacking her on something else would require a modicum of expert knowledge, which is clearly too much to ask of any GOP member.

    “When I hear her talk, I just scratch my head and think this is what DEI is really about. It clearly is. She checks all the boxes. She’ll say she’s of Indian descent one day, then she’ll say she’s of Black descent. It’s just box-checking.”

    Bro has never heard of multi-racial people? I guess it kind of makes sense when you still live by the “one drop of blood” rule like it’s 1816. You’re either white or you’re wrong to this dumb mother fucker.

    And so it begins, lol.

    These idiots can’t help themselves, and they don’t understand that they’re hurting their own chances. Their brains simply aren’t wired to comprehend that normal human beings don’t respond positively to this stuff.

    I wonder how much of Congress is there on top of white privilege hires from rich mommy and daddy. Not to mention the sausage fest that is the presidency. Yeah, I’m sure that’s almost all white men by merit alone. /s

    I’m an Undecided Voter who isn’t Racist and isn’t a Republican but I think he has a Fair Point! How CAN we Trust Karma Kameleon if she was hired based on DEI and NOT her Qualifications?
