DEI, even going back to when the approved acronym was DIE (yes, it was that not so long ago), has always been a scam.
By that, I don’t mean that it was a well-meaning policy intended to accomplish one goal that unintentionally spawned a scam, like Affirmative Action. Affirmative action was a misconceived solution to a genuine problem for which there was no good solution other than time.
No, DEI was always a scam intended to create high-paying jobs for otherwise worthlessly over-educated and under-motivated academics and consultants–a way to soak up money and the extreme excess of people with degrees that have no value in the economy.
And for many, it was a get-rich-quick scheme married to a get-prominent and admired scheme. Wealth, power, and prestige were distributed based on how many victim points one could acquire.
As the corporate DEI craze…
