    I am a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert

    what-the-hell

    disclaimer

    I understand DEI is a reactionary canard, but if you are referring to yourself as a DEI expert, I expect your analysis to be better (or at least more convincing) than thinking Black folks are like Pig Pen from The Peanuts except instead of dust motes swirling around them there are bullets.

    Saving a google:

    The author is a black guy. I don’t know if that makes it any “better,” but like, goddamn.

    Also his Wikipedia literally describes him as a DEI expert. Which I found funny because it sounded totally made up as something to be an expert in. Like a self aware racist would call themselves that as a sort of joke.

    Obviously he’s a very public figure. Lots of info. But, saving the google.

      I didn’t pay thousands of dollars and spend years studying under both Professor Emeritus Vance Medley and Professor Valerie Variance to have my DEI double-doctorate slandered like this on the internet.

        Lmao.

        It’s just the exact description sounded funny given the recent context of Republicans calling everything DEI this and that

        His actual degrees in like racial equity are more along the lines of what I expected in a description, but that’s probably just my own brainrot brought on by right wingers.

        It’s really just making it that much more obvious how “DEI hire” and such are only ever specifically meant to be slurs. You can’t say “the racial hire? To fill the BLACK quota?” but you can plausibly ask about DEI hires… well you could. They’ve run that in the ground already.

    Are they talking about the TikToks where black people are walking into the room with a shit eating grin to the tune of Many Men? That’s the most generous interpretation of the headline I could think of and it’s still shit.
