DEI is the new N word. It’s a racist dog whistle.
Hold up.
It’s also sexist.
True that.
It’s literally all forms of bigotry, because anyone of any disadvantaged group could be called “DEI.”
The only group it doesn’t apply to is rich, white, able-bodied, straight, cis, Christian, never-jailed, well -educated men*.
I might have missed an adjective, but you get the idea.

You’re right, but I heard you the first time. :-)
Sorry, app glitch 😅
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.
This use is a racist fog horn, but otherwise I agree.
A mediocre politician from a gerrymandered district thinks someone else got an unfair advantage? That’s cute.
The GOP, as always, are hypocrites
It begins… The levels of racism/sexism we are going to see from the GOP over the next few months is going to be wild.
Edit: look at the misogyny already on full display… https://www.instagram.com/p/C9vYle9hpqw/
“Months?” With any luck, it’ll be years.
Attacking her for her race and gender is just lazy.
Agreed. It just means they have nothing else to attack her with.
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.
Guys. I think Rs might be racist.
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.
FUCK, this asshole. Honestly. It’s been what… Barely 24 hours and they’re already starting with the racist bullshit? It’s sickening.
He looks like a nepo-baby with no discernable skills to me.
That didn’t take long.
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
Now THAT is a punchable face.
GOP keeping it classy
Because who needs a substantiative argument when you’ve got… Ad Hominem! Co-staring Stawman Argument!
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?
