Yep (slrpnk.net)

As a colored dude, it's hard to explain. I've even had white folks say, "Nah man it's not like that."

Diversity
Equity
Inclusion

It's not "woke", no matter how hard they try to convince you of it! Diversity: Okay, yeah. If you're some close-minded person who's stayed in the same small town your whole life you might fear people who are different and not understand them. Literally part of what these initiatives are trying to improve, but whatever. However, the other two are basically just about fairness and making sure everyone has the chance to thrive! Nothing to fear there! Who could possibly be against that!?

Progress threatens the profoundly mediocre.

To answer the last sentence: literally Nazis

I mean the very simple answer they'll have to any point you make is "it's a lie told by to get unfairly and/or illegally."

Which is why earnest discussion is so difficult. Neither side can really trust that the other side to use words that match intent. I, for sure, don't trust anything a Right-leaning pundit says about their reasons for legislative positions.

I'm in a red area and most of the pushback I hear is about equity. They're all for equality/equal opportunities but don't support guaranteeing equal outcomes. Whatever that means. I'm just trying to answer your question from the end of your comment because I've heard people say that.

Sounds like those folks don't actually know what the word equity means.
