   The DEI (which, contrary to popular belief, means Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, not Person Of Color I Want To Discredit) movement has been a couple decades of occasionally-unfair hiring practices designed to counterbalance centuries of continuously-unfair hiring practices. Most so-called “DEI hires,” such as Kamala Harris, are exceedingly qualified for many other reasons beyond their capacity to advance the cause of diversity.

   Harris, for instance, went to school Howard University and then University of California College of the Law, was attorney general of California from 2011-2017, served as a U.S. Senator from 2017-2021, and is currently serving as the Vice President of the U.S.. In other words, perfectly qualified to run for a high-level political position such as president, and in fact more qualified than many of her contemporaries… like, say, Trump, who had no political or military experience before running for president.

   Do white, straight, cis males get passed over for less qualified candidates in the name of diversity? On occasion, sure. But that pales in comparison to the ways in which people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ people have been systematically oppressed for essentially all of American history. Pushes for diversity CAN be over-the-top, unfair, and/or virtue-signaling-y at times (see: every corporation during Pride Month).

   But I think certain people’s obsession with something that is a net positive the vast majority of the time and is really not a big deal when it IS a problem says a lot more about those people than it does about the DEI movement. When one side of the aisle has no rational vision for the country, it’s politically advantageous to make a mountain out of a molehill. I just think it’s telling that they keep choosing these molehills.
