 Usha definitely profited from DEI so why is she still around?[/quote]

Actually, Vance definitely benefitted from DEI.  [/quote]

DEI (TM) wasn’t invented until 2020, years after Vance got into Yale.

Not all programs that expand access to underrepresented groups are DEI (TM) and DEI (TM) did not reach all underrepresented groups. In particular, DEI (TM) favored a worldview where privilege was measured by skin color, gender, and status as a sexual minority and almost completely ignored the actual current driver of inequality in our society which is money, class, and what kind of family you were born into.

(I put the TMs to mean Trademark, because so many people on this board do not understand the difference between the program invented in 2020 vs. actual diversity, equity, and inclusion. Sorry if it’s lame.)[/quote]

It is lame. Before DEI, there was affirmative action, which has been around for years, and he definitely benefited from it.[/quote]

I won’t argue that JD didn’t benefit from some sort of class-shaping school of thought, but it was not DEI and a stretch to call it affirmative action. And I’ll bet that he’d have a harder time getting admitted in the last few years because “diversity” has very much come to mean race-focused. [/quote]

Being a veteran is an important category of every DEI program, including college. While JD never saw combat, he had a deskjob for years in the Marines and that helped him get admission into Yale Law so he is absolutely a DEI candidate and DEI admittee. His life changed at Yale Law - it's where he met Peter Thiel at a speech at Yale and got to work in finance in Bay area for him, and it's where he met his Prof and Mentor Amy Chua who introduced him to her publisher (Tiger Mom book) and put in a strong reference for his Hillbilly Elegy book to get published which made him millions.

Vance is where he is everything he is and the "success story" he is today because he was a DEI recipient to Yale Law as a Marine.[/quote]
