Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show - 'DEI only goes one direction' (www.irishstar.com)

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

No one ever accused these people of being smart.

Nah, I don't think it's about being smart or not. For them it was never about "logic" or "congruence", they are just hopelessly racist.

Yeah you're definitely right. They're looking at an all black show and calling it DEI. So they don't actually care what DEI stands for, when they say DEI they mean "black". Or more accurately probably the other word. I guess we all already knew that though.
