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. :-)

The reason is probably pretty awful and has to do exactly with what @MapleEngineer@lemmy.world was referring to.

It’s like the N-word and the C-word had a baby, and that baby was raised by all the bad words for Jews.

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.
OOL… Can someone explain the acronym and the context? 🙈
Diversity Equality Inclusivity
DEI initiatives have been popular in organizations in the past decade to increase diversity. This angers fascists, so they mock and attack it.
The E stands for “equity”, not “equality”.
Thank you!

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
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.
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.

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.
DEI is bullshit but Kamala is battle hardened prosecutor who might have fucked some old clown at get ahead…
either way, there is one thing she aint and that’s deff a “DEI hire” whatever that even supposed to mean lol
But seeing a white “boomer” cuck bent of shape… priceless :)
You know, you could keep those thoughts on the inside.
That didn’t take long.
FUCK, this asshole. Honestly. It’s been what… Barely 24 hours and they’re already starting with the racist bullshit? It’s sickening.
GOP keeping it classy
Right out there in the open. No shame at all. Racist fucks.
Edit: also, crazy eyes.
He looks like a nepo-baby with no discernable skills to me.
Okay. Feel free to run with that, Republicans. If you vote against DEI, you are going to suffer if you don’t look like any of these people in the photo below:
trump and co.
If you are a white woman, you still won’t be treated fairly.
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
