I've seen the Right's answer to DEI.

They deny that there is/was inequality so they claim that pushing equality gives an unfair advantage.

They say that any perceived inequality is the lack in the sum of experience and expertise.

They say that forced inclusion is unfair on the meritocracy of others.

They also tend to think that racism and sexism are overblown because they are incapable of believing (or it is otherwise too inconvenient for them to believe) that other people actually have problems if they don't themselves experience them.

I Oppose Deathcamps, Extermination, and Invasion (aka: the nazi f' Elon and the Felon's policies)

This 1000%. Stop separating your words from their meanings.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Two kinds of people: the heterosexual white man and the diversity hire

Christian heterosexual white man. Can't have any of those minority religions, or worse atheists, sneaking in.

I'm am strongly opposed to diversity. We should stop using Windows and macOS and create a monoculture by standardizing on Linux.

Or you could ask them if they know what DEI stands for.

Spoiler Alert: They don't.

They love hating acronyms and nicknames repeated by their media sources that they know literally nothing about.

  1. I support diversity, equity and inclusion in giving people the chance to get a good education and achieve good outcomes through their own efforts (with good teacher and mentor support).

  2. For things that are beyond secondary education, I support a race-blind color-blind culture-blind meritocracy where the best qualified people should be admitted to universities and jobs (private or public sector).

These are my ideals. But with that said, today we have none of these in the US. And never had it. Also people and systems created by people are imperfect but people are good at finding loop holes and ways to game any system.

But I still think our best hope is to do our best to support #1. We have the funds to make schools in poor neighborhoods better and pay all teachers more. The outcome of doing #1 will not be felt immediately, it will take generations.

Neither side of the political spectrum does or care about that though.

I seem to recall Trump wanting to end the divisiveness of inclusiveness and somehow people just accepted him saying that
