    I mean, yah. That probably falls under the umbrella of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEI is good, and we shouldn’t stop using the term just cuz Orange Man upset (IMO).

      DEI is neoliberal language putting a positive marketable spin on anti-discrimination practices. It allows disingenuous corporations look especially nice for doing the bare minimum that should be expected of them.

          Yep. So, once again, the left gets stuck holding the bag for neoliberal bullshit that loses to fascism. It’s an age old story.
