    US is so cooked, people there think that DEI is super radical communism, while in reality it’s nothing more than some liberal program

      I think DEI is just really easy to attack. As the only policy for trying to combat discrimination by itself, it’s not the cure for racism as some liberals would like to think

      People here think that it’s reverse racism. They think putting an emphasis on diversity hiring means throwing away white applications without remorse.

      Because it’s so subjective, it can apply to anyone they want.

      Did you once donate $7 via PayPal to a fundraiser during the month of June? You’re a traitor. Post a picture with a rainbow flag on FB? Traitor. Watch Ru Paul’s Drag Race on Amazon? Traitor. Be hired for a job that had previously been perfectly fine in the government? Traitor.

      They have an army of Good Ol’ Boys ready to cause just enough terror to keep people in line, and the precedent is there that they may simply be pardoned. Fear is the only certain thing.
