I find this opposition to DEI somewhat perverse since to my mind it has mostly been a tool to add some limited legitimacy to a cruel system devoid of humanity; it was there to wash away the more obvious biases of an unjust system.

To my mind to remove DEI is to accelerate the collapse of the West. It seems counterintuitive to me that the people who are pushing for this seem to be the ones with the most to lose from it.

A Band-Aid solution to a complicate problem. They're removing the band-aid and letting an open wound.

They're bigots. Bigots often shoot themselves in the foot.
