    you’re almost there… just explain what kind of diversity and you should arrive.

      DEI is not racism (in theory). It’s a tool to fight one (in theory).

          English isn’t my first language. Maybe that’s the case.

            The original poster was saying that Lauren Boebert is racist for calling her a “DEI Hire”… not the concept of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”.

              I just was being lazy and didn’t type the whole “DEI hire”. But I’ve meant it.

              I think, being called “DEI hired” is not necessarily racism but a common devaluation / belittlement.
