The Embarrassments of Ideology › American Greatness
Victor Davis Hanson
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a euphemism for a rigid racialist theology.
It deductively postulates that a large percentage of the population is oppressed by racism and sexism, mostly by white males.
DEI makes no allowance for the class or wealth of the alleged victims or their supposed victimizers.
So once that rigid party line is set, it cannot account for tens of millions of affluent and privileged non-white Americans or like numbers of poor and non-privileged whites.
Absurdities and ridicule must then follow.
One example is the spectacle of former First Lady Michelle Obama on her current book tour.
Mrs. Obama cannot finish an interview without whining about the racism she allegedly encountered as the once most influential and powerful woman in the United States.
According to Michelle, she was not given the exemptions that other white first ladies received.
