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

The honest take on DEI (which I think is total horse shit) is racially discriminating "the other way" to make up for the past.
One big part about these discussions is some people say that racism has power as a component, i.e. black people can't be racist. This take is what enables them to sit in a committee and say "we have two equally qualified candidates, so let's give the job to the black one" and say that with a straight face without feeling like they racially discriminated, even though the DEFINITION of racial discrimination is making a decision based solely on race.
