>When the DEI people say “hey hire out of this HBCU, not out of this elite college with tons of legacy admissions which there is almost no pathway to from a school in a poor neighbourhood” that’s not all evil and terror.
But the DEI people went to the elite college with legacy admissions, and work there now. "DEI" is "more BIPOCs at elite colleges to which there's no pathway from a poor neighborhood."
Most DEI people I see in real life are ghost white HR ladies who had mediocre grades in school and work for a mediocre company and send out regular company emails about how it’s Polynesian history month, asexual pride week, and progressiveness day. I would say most of them are not “true believers” but may generally agree that DEI is noble.
