Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

US is so cooked, people there think that DEI is super radical communism, while in reality it's nothing more than some liberal program
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.
The good ol boys could use a little fear
People here think that it’s reverse racism. They think putting an emphasis on diversity hiring means throwing away white applications without remorse.
Do they REALLY though? Or are they just racists using it as a convenient filter for their racism?
At this point I think unironically using the term “reverse racism” is a dog whistle.
The card says moops
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
