Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.
These are literally obscene words to the conservative right.
To hear them tell it, they believe that being "diverse" somehow gives ethnic and cultural minorities an advantage over straight white males. A group that the right purports has been horribly abused by all this diversity.
To hear them tell it, they believe that "equity" in the form of everyone having equal protection under the law is somehow unfair to straight white men. That the only fairness they will accept is straight white men being on a higher level than everyone else. Equity to them means that they aren't superior.
To hear them tell it, "Inclusion" of all people in our American society, regardless of race, creed, or color, disenfranchises and removes opportunities from straight white men. Inclusion of anyone other than straight white men fills vacancies that should rightfully be held by straight white men.
They say that all this woke, DEI stuff is giving opportunities to unqualified minorities overqualified straight white male applicants. Which is absolutely and totally flaming propagandist bullshit.
The reality is that racial and minority equity programs were put in place to ensure that unqualified, inexperienced, incompetent straight white men wouldn't be given opportunities over extremely qualified minority applicants.
And they can't have that.
