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.

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.
