Three letters: D E I. How did “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” become a dog whistle for all things woke and black? From America’s first attempts at reckoning with institutional bias to the current bulldozer approach of the second Trump administration, WIRED writer Jason Parahm takes a candid look at the road we took to the demise of DEI.

mlk is huge fan of donOLDs presidency donold said so himself!
DEI as a generalized idea of direction isn’t bad, but lots of the actual policy, focus, and implementations are just laughable and so for-profit, in the eyes of a foreigner.
Also, why does US DEI sound so focused on black?
I can understand Asians, Native American, and other minorities not showing up on the talking point that often, given the low population percentage. But what about the Hispanic population? They became the largest minority group.
Because it’s more of an ethnicity, not a race?
It has to do with electoral politics. Black voters are very important to the Democratic coalition, so Democrats prioritize their issues. Since Hispanics, Asians, and Natives aren’t as important for which political party wins, both parties tend to ignore them (sadly)
OSU
why do white people play dumb on how dei and aa works?
Good riddance. Bring back meritocracy!
If DEI doesn’t make more money, then why would anyone keep doing it?
Terrible vid
No, AA is not the thing I’d stand with. Militant disregard for race(ialism) – yeah
It died because Democrats are losers. They concede everything and complain more than they fight.
DEI is dead ?
GOOD
Everyone screams about merit while upper government is filled with unqualified white men. I’m ok with being DEI being gone. I never want to hear another complaint about someone not getting into college or getting the desired job.
It blows my mind how us Americans have so over complicated everything about this.
Wired was like “we need to get a black man to narrate this video” wokies never learn😂🤦🏼♂️
Why are you glazing DEI so much tho in some ways they went too far because when you have a quota that says you gotta hire this much people of this race sometimes you dont hire the most qualified people.
good riddance to this chauvinistic black narcissism.
white people cant be trusted to hold white people accountable.
Because it was a United Nations dog whistle for ethnic cleansing. next question.
You should always get your job based on merit, not the colour of your skin. Simple. I would rather have a surgeon or pilot who was picked because of their qualifications and experience rather than the colour of their skin.

I’m all for equality. We need more of it. We need to have all job applications, scholarships, and college applications be only based on merit and merit alone. That is equality.
