I hate inclusive.

I'll never be in the MAGA(neo-Nazis) group.

I don't believe in "Equity", I believe in "Equality". The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don't just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

I oppose the existing "DEI" as it exists today because it's openly racist. It's openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

I oppose affirmative action. Change my mind (if you disagree and want to)

They don't like any of them, because those are the concepts that defeated the Nazis.

They were defeated by a group of countries (diversity), which allowed anyone to join (inclusivity) and didn't think they were better than others (equity).

I mostly like DEI. But I'm concerned that it is running cover for corporations. DEI is not about expanding opportunities to people evenly. DEI is about expanding opportunities to people that make the company more money. DEI alone is not enough for a fair and equitable society.

This isn't hard... I don't like DEI.

But also, I do like diversity, equity, and inclusion.

There is a difference. Understand that, and you've leveled up.

Counterpoint: the phrase first proposed by Serj Tankian, an armenian biblical scholar, reading 'When Angels deserve to DEI', implies that even the God's very servants strive to have DEI programs used in their hiring and career proposals.

Why are you snorting blood my friend, did I say something wrong?

I don't like DEI cause I think human rights, equality and equal opportunity should come default nowardays, rather than be a thing people need to rally behind and hope it gets passed as law in a few decades.

If an demented felon child diddler trans woman and an african nazi with mental defeciencies can run a country, why can't a trans black woman write some code?
