Idk who Drumpf is but DEI, as another commenter stated, has nothing to do with non-white people in general. Marrying a non-white person does not make them in favor of DEI.
Many Chinese and Indian Americans are against DEI because they work so hard to raise their children to get into the top schools from birth then view their chances hurt by DEI. I’m less knowledgeable about Indian Americans but I can confidently say many Chinese Americans are more educated and even right wing than white Americans. You want to hear some insane politics go talk to an Irvine Chinese American.
TLDR: DEI/=Minority Minority/=liberal

Drumpf is Trump's original family name.
Even John Oliver himself said that joke's tired now.
That’s fine but it’s disingenuous to say one has no idea what the OP is talking about.
I knew right away, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people didn't get the reference. Not everyone is as chronically online and/or aware of political discourse as you or I may be.
I mean, it’s pretty easy to see “JD Vance” and a word that looks strikingly similar to “Trump”, and infer the meaning of that word to be some sort of a joke version of “Trump”.
I didn’t get the reference, but I do have basic reading comprehension.
