[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, DEI won’t piss off 85% of the electorate. Polling has shown that half or more than half of Americans support DEI hiring and DEI training. [/quote]

The devil is in the details - most people support fairness in hiring, college admissions, etc. and oppose discrimination.  Opposition to discrimination, for most people, does not mean favoring minorities over non-minorities simply because of their minority status.  It all depends on how questions around DEI are framed.  Most DEI policies explicitly gave preference to minorities, which is of course discrimination against all others, to redress "past discrimination" due to long-past overt discriminatory practices not experienced by anyone presently alive today.  Most voters saw through DEI for what it was - discrimination based favoring certain skin colors.

Trying to bring back an emphasis on DEI to putatively promote "fairness" and "equity" will not resonate at all with most of the electorate, who see it for blatant discrimination dressed up in noble-sounding but morally bankrupt language.  [/quote]
