As a colored dude, it's hard to explain. I've even had white folks say, "Nah man it's not like that."

DEI is literally oversight to ensure that there ISNT racism . For example, it includes:

  • Outreach programs to talk to people in underrepresented communities to tell them that opportunities exist

  • Avoiding biased language and assumptions in the hiring process that would negatively impact people of certain demographics

  • Hiring authorities that prevent bias against the disabled and veterans

  • Audits and data to see if an organization has decided to just be racist and reject non-white applicants

Your argument is, we should remove people's protections because if we taught everyone better they wouldnt be discriminatory.
