DEI is of comparatively recent vintage and the programs are now indelibly associated with racial preferences, oppression hierarchies, ideological indoctrination, and language policing. Those aren’t American values at all.... Racial preferences are very, very unpopular and have been for a long time....
Most voters, especially working-class voters, believe, like Martin Luther King Jr., that people should “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” A 2022 University of California Dornsife survey found that more than 90 percent of Americans agree that America should strive for color-blind tolerance. But many Democrats dismiss the idea of color blindness as either hopelessly naive or itself a racist dog-whistle.
And that fits so tightly with the Democrats' 2 favorite arguments: 1. You're dumb, and 2. You're racist. Which reminds me — the #1 item on Teixeira's 4-point list is: "Avoid name-calling."
I'm halfway through quoting all 4 items, so let me continue. #2 is "Moderate — starting with immigration." And #4 is "Embrace energy abundance."
Yeah, the Democrats cannot do these things. Not unless they get their own Trump. Someone extremely daring, charismatic, and powerful who barges in and reshapes the party around him. It could have been RFK Jr., but they used their grubby little ways to keep him off the ballot. And now who is out there?

Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko, but likely no Mikhail Gorbachev. Grubby little ways is all they got. And picking Ken Martin underscores that.
Glad to see you've finally been red-pilled, Ann. Welcome to freedom.
Today's Democrats will never give up the fight. Not in their nature. Trump will need to push hard for 4 years, assuming he has the energy to do so.
Texeira, a voice crying or in the wilderness, saying, "For gosh sakes, Democrats, don't make me become a Republican!"
Texeira has been trying to save Democrats from themselves for a while now. They didn't listen then nor will they listen now. The recent DNC meeting is proof of that.
Deep blue California has repeatedly voted against racial preferences in state hiring and college admissions. They copied MLK/1960s race blind federal language and made it state law. Still, the DEI ideologues come back again and again seeking salvation. California's Asians point out that they were victims of written, official California racist policies in the early 20th century. Instituting racial preferences toay would mean they again become victims of racism, even as they work hard and perform exceptionally well in colleges (i.e., some "black and brown" people are different than others).
State-sponsored racism (DEI) has not won the popular vote in California despite 30 years of trying and multiple votes. Good luck passing DEI laws in Texas or nationally. Plans for salvation should be reserved for religions, as it failed with wealth and class in old-line Communist governments and has failed with race and sex/gender too.

Texiera would be denounced as a right-wing fascist if any of the Democrat Party organs paid any attention to him. Which they don't and won't.
You remind me of the situation in 2016. Both parties faced a reformer insurgency—the Dems from Sanders and the Reps from Trump. The Democrats successfully fought off their insurgent, the Republicans failed to fight off theirs.
And that is why the Republicans are winning and the Democrats are losing. The Democrats are mired in corrupt, sclerotic insider politics while the Republicans are run-through with dynamism.
He has indeed been trying to save them from themselves. They're having none of it. It's amazing to me that he hadn't been utterly cancelled - I guess he hasn't used up all the currency his "we're going to be a permanent majority, because we're on the side of the angels and we love people of color" thing afforded him. Even though after the election, he was desperately trying to tell them, "Guys! We can't say we love people of color and then tell Latinos and young Black men they're stupid and fascist!"
I can't think of a single Democrat currently who could compete with the new generation of Republicans that Trump has brought into prominence in his second term. They have absolutely no one like Vance, DeSantis, or Rubio, for example. And I had not given much thought to Rubio except he seems to have gotten off to a good start at State. I was skeptical about his appointment at first, but I have seen two interviews in the past week that won me over.
The Republicans are going to have a deep bench of capable people for 2028 and beyond. The Dems have no bench at all.
LOL. DEI is fundamental to today’s Dem party. Identity politics is the one of the few things that the Dems have. That and CAGW.
That’s so goofy. Doing everything on the list destroys their entire platform. It’s not a survival guide for the party it’s what the survivors should to do after the party is gone…
The Governors of PA and MD are slick. But today’s Dems could never vote for a Jew for President.
"Someone extremely daring, charismatic, and powerful who barges in and reshapes the party around him. It could have been RFK Jr., but they used their grubby little ways to keep him off the ballot. And now who is out there?"
I thought it was little Benjie Wikler?
The left is busily organizing itself on reddit. Banning X links, ejecting all skeptics, planning marches, seeking out MAGA businesses to ruin. It's 1933 Germany and they are the heroes! Reasonable people CANNOT disagree.
They aren't listening to people like Teixeira.
The Blue Dog Coalition in the Democrat Party has gone from 54 members in 2009 to 10 today. Sorry Ruy but it ain’t gonna happen.
Adam Schiff was once in the Blue Dog Coalition, so it has been in part a "moderate" propaganda front.
The Democrats are banana republic tier. They actively used the justice department against their political opponents. They are irredeemable and unsalvageable. They will not compromise being unreasonable. They are the new face of the Puritans.
Don’t forget Kristi, Tulsi and Karoline. Those girls rock.
The Democrats love of climate hysteria is mystifying. They have been warning of doom for at least 30 years, yet none of their predictions have come true. Some are laughable - having to remove the signage at Glacier National Park stating that the glaciers would be gone by 2020. I recall reading Boston Globe stories in the 1990s that reported that the New England ski industry would be dead by the early 2000s for lack of snow. Now they reflexively utter climate change as the root cause of just about everything. It has lost all meaning, similar to calling their opponents fascists.
Yeah, the Democrats cannot do these things.
They are stuck, ever marching forward, like a wind-up toy into the corner of the room.
Now that we’re learning how much US Treasury they were/are stealing for the results they have it’s hard to see a way forward. Maybe talk more about the abortion fight?
My favorite line in the movie Lord Jim, which I'm sure is not in the novel. The Europeans who formerly ran an Asian place are trying to overthrow Jim, another European who has taken over. They are trying to recruit the most successful pirate of them all, brilliantly played by James Mason. He says: Let me see if I understand. He's in, you're out, and he's the fool?
The leaders that could have saved the Democrats are now being trashed by Democrats in the Senate. If only they had their own Joe Rogan…
I just feel compelled to chime in with a little math here. If half the country, 50%, are Democrats, and 90% of the COUNTRY agrees with colorblindness, then at most 20% of Democrats agree with colorblindness. Since when is 20% "many?" We've been sold a bill of DEI-goods. Glad to see that might be coming to an end.
What’s with the correlation of dancing and these Democrat meetings? We had that NY state of the state and now that DNC thing…
Unchallengeable beliefs are dogmas. Dogmas result in superstitions, and when wrapped up with an ideology, a literal religion. We've seen what happens when there is a religious vacuum on the left (i.e., sex, drugs, rock-n-roll party people of the 1960s and 1970s), and now the natural recreation of religion by their woke grandchildren. They tore it down to rebuilt it in broken way, as they lacked adult leadership.
Whenever I read the name Ruy Teixeira I think of somebody wearing cowboy boots.
@rehajm - It has a Roman Empire vibe. They dance while their Party burns.
America - and Americans - paid a heavy price for allowing the dry-husk Biden to be installed as POTUS. By Hell, much of the world paid a price, as well.
As wrongs are being “righted”, America must take care to hold the perpetrators accountable. Americans should take care to never allow this excrement to happen again.
And they say women can't do math.
Every time my wife watches JD Vance, she says, "Damn, this guy's good."
for fum; Just Imagine IF the Democrats believed in (or practiced ) democracy?
Bernie would have won the nomination in 2016..
and LOST the election..
And GONE AWAY, the senile millionaire that he is..
THEN
Tulsi would have won the nomination in 2020..
and she would be into her 2nd term right now..
The Democrats COULD HAVE had Tulsi.. And they chased her away
They're also Doxxing the brains behind DOGE, for doing nothing more than crunching numbers.
What I see is (1) some have a strong desire to help people in need, and/or (2) some struggle with feelings of exclusion, inferiority, or failure across their entire lives. One Hispanic person I met said "Affirmative action assumptions about my skills will follow me for my entire life." Liberal white women have developed a reputation for...adopting(?)...people in need in a way that resembles motherhood or taking care of a pet.
I think he could be a Rhinestone Cowboy in a Nudie suit and the Dems still wouldn’t see or hear him.
To get out of the weeds, Democrats have to embrace MAGA by redefining it. Who's going to vote for a party that is against making America safer, stronger and more prosperous?
Democrats need to argue that they have a better strategy for making America safer, stronger and more prosperous. Democrats used to know that. They used to say, "Our Diversity is our Strength!" It didn't make sense, but was pithy.
I think Biden’s term is a blessing. The persecution of Trump hardened his resolve and it gave him four years to plan on how to achieve his goals if he got reelected. Trump has just been crushing it this time out of the gate. This wouldn’t have happened in 2020.
Exactly. A Democrat Trump? Thats impossible. The Big Donor Left controls the Democrat party and they have an iron grip on it. The Democrat base is full of the dumbest, most selfish people in the country. They follow orders, and they don't really about anything except hating Republicans and getting their piece of the graft.
In case, any noticed, Biden, harris, and Hillary didn't really win the primaries, they were all coronated. Harris didn't face any. Hillary was annointed after Bernie put up a fake, feeble struggle. And Biden got the nominated after everyone dropped out after SC.
The Democrat will only change when the Big Donors decide it must change. Their robot voters will follow the "party line" and accept anything their leaders dish out.

Now that I think about it, "Lord Jim" is a really on point reference. It was a European man who was hopelessly idealistic, and took over a naive tribe of natives on a remote island through his preaching of doing the honorable thing [we must take care of every soul on the planet if they show up at our door] and trusting others to respect it[nobody would lie for economic reasons] and do the right thing, [no man would ever falsely claim to be a woman just to get imprisoned with women and have female guards!] and he gets [Spoiler alert!] killed and the tribe destroyed the first time a guy shows up with a sword who didn't care about his morals.
The problem with a "Democrat Trump" is that Trump's main source of power is just doing things that are very popular among the majority of voters, and Democrats can't do that, no matter how much their rank and file might approve, for example, of defending high value US working class jobs like auto-making or protecting US wages by limiting illegal competition from imported "migrants" who don't get the same labor protections, due to their status, as US workers.
No bench at all? Hey, what about AOC and David Hogg? They just made Hogg the Vice Chair of their entire party. That picture of him with his baby fist in the air was, to quote Chris Farley, "really awesome."
Did you watch the DNC convention or at least clips thereof? The New Democrat destined to lead them certainly wasn't in evidence. Viewing the national field, he/she isn't evident there either. Gavin Newsom was positioning himself to be the heir apparent but his chances have been scorched. I'm not sure who is leading the Democrat party, much less who might be a viable candidate in 2028. Texiera can pine for his dream Democrat but I don't see one showing up anytime soon.
One of the big lessons of the Europeans plagues was that limiting the supply of workers led to better wages for peasants. This is why the oligarchs, oooh, sorry, the correct term is "major donors to Democrats" want to flood the market in the US with workers and why they are screaming bloody murder as the flow is cut off!
"It will be inflationary! How will I ever afford my string of polo ponies and the dozen workers in the barn if I have to pay medical benefits, instead of just sending them to the ER, and —God forbid! overtime!"
This is the point where the Democratic iceberg breaks into pieces and starts to drift apart. TDS kept them united, while the Biden era revealed that they cannot be united (i.e., Israel vs. Gaza). Let AOG and Hogg manage the party -- they will lead the Party into the wilderness. Some Republicans cheered when Hogg came to power.
The moderates and independents shifted to the Republicans, so the game's over.
Party discipline is very strong among elected Democrats. In the past Blue Dog Democrats have voted for bills when they knew, beyond all shadow of any doubt, that it would cost them their seat in Congress. And yet they followed Nancy Pelosi’s orders … and lost to Republicans in the subsequent election.
If Trump II, 2025 to 2028 is glorious and healthy, could RFK run for 2028 D nomination? Probably not, but fun to think about.
Ruy is a smart D. He feels bad for promulgating Demographics Determine Destiny.
It all screams, ‘Just vote Republican and be done with it’.
Someone extremely daring, charismatic, and powerful who barges in and reshapes the party around him.
That's how they got here, isn't it? Didn't Obama reshape the part around himself?
Or was he used to do it by people behind the scenes like Biden, but without the dementia and the baggage.
A Democrat Trump? Yeah, he was here a while ago - but he left. Remember? The Democrats will never reform until their current kleptocratic iteration dies off of old age.
Dornsife is part of USC. University of California is a different sty altogether.

In purely bare-knuckle mentality, I would argue that the Democratic Party is where it is today, because people like Junior' and Tulsi are not strong enough. In the political jungle, you have to have the force of personality that is sufficient to topple the existing order, it's purely a case of survival of the fittest - and they didn't have what it takes. Who knows, maybe they'll serve under Trump, learn some skills, get some more moxie, and decide they're Democrats after all.
Who'd have thought, in 2010, that Trump could be the man? There'll be somebody, don't know who, in Democrat ranks who'll rise to the challenge (I hope).
"Not unless they get their own Trump. Someone extremely daring, charismatic, and powerful who barges in and reshapes the party around him."
Huh. I don't see it that way. Trump didn't reshape the Republican party, he found a huge constituency that GOPe and Democrats had been ignoring. Is there a similarly large, ignored constituency for RFK jr. (or Gretchen Whitmer or Josh Shapiro) to get in front of?
Jamie, Teixeira keeps trying but he should accept reality that the Dems will not change.
I find it impossible to believe that any supporter of Trump has an actual problem with name-calling. This post should be labeled with the "civility bullshit" tag.
People keep saying Trump could never be a Democrat He IS a Democrat. Democrats today aren't Democrats. He is socially liberal, pro minority, supports the blue collar workers, pro-America, disdainful of federal government power. Kinda sounds like every Democrat of the 60's (minus the flower power demographic.)
Naw...It's going to be the mouth of Westchester County....AOC!! Who else has a bigger mouth and uses it??
Their best hope is that Trump quickly removes enough criminal illegals that that problem fades from public memory by 2028. Hopefully, someone saves enough of their video tantrums to use in 2026.
Their own Trump will look very different than Trump. More like Mark Cuban, whose few billions compared to Musk would be ignored by the Dems. He would be a tyrant of the sort Trump is denounced as being but really isnt, because it is just business for him, and the left would eventually be crushed by him despite his social leftist tendencies, because he isn't an insane Marxist and he loves America. Or how about Matthew McConnaheyyyyyy, who will be the first Democrat governor of Texas as soon as he gets tired of acting and doing cool older guy commercials for Lincolns, etc.. Then president, if he wants. He will be surrounded like Biden by those who want to direct and produce his administration, and be an effective front man for them. YMMV, but they look OK to me as Dem outsider candidates, and goodness knows the insider candidates are gonna lose for 20 years after this Trump term.
DEI is systemic, institutional Diversity (e.g. racism, sexism, genderism, nepotism, etc).
That said, diversity of individuals, minority of one. #HateLovesAbortion
I suspect he means name calling in lieu of making an argument.
If you want to understand the state of the current Democratic Party, please watch the absolute clown show of their national convention last week.
They are all talking about representation, trans, struggles, LGBTQ etc. It’s a complete cult that doesn’t care about the concerns of real people. Until that changes they will keep losing
Texeira will be viewed by Dems as Liz Cheney, Kristol, and the like are viewed by conservative Republicans. Ruy can form a club with Bill Maher and James Carville. Hated by their former compatriots, avoided by the crowd they really want to join.
“Naw...It's going to be the mouth of Westchester County....AOC!! Who else has a bigger mouth and uses it??”
That would have been Kamala Harris.
Years ago, some expressed the idea that the first black president would be a tough ex-cop or ex-military figure who would tell us that we didn't need affirmative action anymore. That didn't happen. Instead, we got Obama and DEI went into overdrive.
What Teixeira may miss is that there's dissatisfaction with the Biden administration's deep dive into DEI that falls short of relying on merit. Democrats still want outreach and preferential hiring, but they want to avoid the stigma of Team Biden's DEI. It's still Lyndon Johnson's party - and in some ways, his country.
I don't think Texiera's optimistic formula takes into account the true depth of Democrat corruption and abuse of power, but that stuff is coming out.
The Dems feel like they have to completely discredit Trump to protect themselves. Working with him is incompatible with demonizing him as a 3rd world dictator using the power of the state to eliminate all opposition through prosecution and imprisonment for false charges.
The deep state tried to kill Trump twice. Team Trump is coming for them.
Gabbard's only sin to the Dems was tearing the mask off of Kamalamadingbat to reveal the clown underneath in that primary debate. I have often thought that Harris was chosen as the VP candidate for only that reason alone- as a fuck-you to Gabbard. Lots of petards in Dem land these days.
Your comment shows just how much of a dimwit you are, Jrytrpt. Texeira isn't a Trump supporter and he isn't telling the Democrats to stop ad hominem attacks because Trump supporters care about it. He is telling Democrats to stop it because it doesn't increase their political support. To qualify for a civility bullshit tag, Texeira would have to be a Trump supporter.
The fat tub of goo in Illinois called Pritzker has a lot of money and some ambition. Hard lefty, might be one to watch.
Gabbard, Trump, too, violated the first rule of social liberal club: women criticising feminism (i.e. class-disordered ideology), recovered liberals exposing queer social practices. It's a straight stand against the leftist lean. Then they doubled-down to represent Americans against domestic and transnational special and peculiar interests in Capitol affairs.
Ruy is a variation of Roy and also means "Red," according to the google machine.
“They have been warning of doom for at least 30 years, yet none of their predictions have come true.”
Actually it’s been almost 55 years now, and their predictions have become more and more comical.
>Jersey Fled
Don’t forget Kristi, Tulsi and Karoline.<
Tulsi is not a Republican. In her soul she is a Democrat and always will be. She's only dancing around with Repubs now because the Dems mistreated her. But her core Lefty beliefs haven't changed.
Fun fact of the day.
From 2001 to 2009 Trump was a registered Democrat.
The left are so twisted, corrupt - and evil - they turned "color-blind" into a revelation assumption of "racism".
That is some major F*ed up Soviet BS.
In your case KAK - you should say "We" will keep losing - not "they"
Ronald Reagan said "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Party left me."
A true Color-blind society was the dream of MLK.
The left took that dream away - over greed, control, and victim-mining.
The left are a-holes.
I've been saying for a while now that if the Democratic Party has any brains left, they will start pushing the career of NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson.
Jackson's star has been quietly rising for a while now, and he's literally the Dem version of Vance:
Age 42
Iraq War Vet
Previous U.S. Senator for NC
Father of 3
Proficient/comfortable in the political use of Social Media
Has a wholesome, articulate persona.
Not saying I agree w/him on all subjects any more than I do the Democratic Party. But he's the Dem answer to Vance. He gives non-Republican voters who voted for the Trump/Vance ticket somewhere to go.
LOL
Oh, do stop your pathetic attempt at repositioning yourself on Althouse blog as some sort of reasoned moderate observer of political events.
You have been fanatically in favor of politicians and policies for years that are precisely the problem...and you were giddy at thought of what you claimed would be a slam dunk kamala win and the "brilliance" of jazzy spirit finger Stolen Valor Walz being on the ticket.
But thats not a great place to be coming from if one's purpose is to try and influence a blog by pretending to be a faux "conserving conservatism" "conservative", now is it?
You LLR-democraticals, Chuck, Rich and lonejustice have been on the wrong side of every issue for over a decade. And going Full Inga and pretending you weren't, hilarious though it is, wont work with the Althouse commentariat.
It would be best for you to return your act to Istagram or Threads or BlueSky or DemocratUnderground or Yahoo comments. Someplace more appropriate for your "talent" (LOL) "stack".
"Liberal white women have developed a reputation for...adopting(?)...people in need in a way that resembles motherhood or taking care of a pet."
Ain't it the truth? And the democrat power brokers whip them into a frenzy.
"Whenever I read the name Ruy Teixeira I think of somebody wearing cowboy boots."
Me too!
Nancy Pelosi is one of the main architects of the Dems current self built prison. She enforced ruthless conformity and most of the normal Dems from purple districts got replaced by Reps and the remaining, now purified, now smaller, Dem coalition spiraled up its own fundament as their appeal rapidly became more selective. I was disappointed in Reps who praised her as a "statesman" when she stepped down from the Speakership. No, she's a monster, she's everything that's wrong with politics. She treated politics as the raw manipulation of power rather than making even a token attempt at serving the public and this is her legacy. And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving POS.
"I think Biden’s term is a blessing."
I also think it garnered him a lot of public support, following on the shit-show of the Biden presidency. We owe a debt of gratitude to Mark Zukerburg and is bucks.
Apparently Trump was right on tariffs (just like last time!), the left should partner with him on that as well.
Pretty hard for Democrats to opt for a strong leader when DNC leadership picks their candidates. Party leaders love the idea of a progressive committee of DNC loyalists guiding a puppet figurehead. Hence the era of Vegetable Joe and his sidekick Kami. This won’t change until Democrats steal a page from Republicans and revolt against their corrupt party leadership. But I don’t think they’re there yet. They’re too distracted fighting yesterday’s wars and trying to resist the shiny orange object in the room.
So he's a basically a republican
Right now there's nothing that the Democrats can do all by themselves to recover their power because they childishly played "Whatever he does, do the opposite" with Trump instead of co-opting those of his popular positions that Democrats had held in recent memory (remember Rich Gephardt, the most "left-wing" of the Democrats in '88, being in favor of tariffs?).
But that doesn't mean they'll actually stay out of power long. It all depends on whether the Republicans revert to mindlessly defending giant corporations in their abuse and exploitation of normal people. If they do, than the (stupid) "BILLIONAIRES!!!ELEVENTY!" screeching by Democrats that normies are ignoring will suddenly gain traction. Republicans need it beaten into their heads that "Big Business" sucks just as bad as "Big Government," and that they were elected to bring BOTH to heel. Taking the side of insurance companies, big tech, or big telecomm will alienate the populists who right now are Trump's strongest supporters.
One of the best things Trump could do to cement his populist support would be to use anti-trust powers to break up Tech monopolies or oligopolies, block mergers, restrict private equity from buying up whole sectors of small business, and seriously investigate and when appropriate punish anti-competitive behavior by chains and franchises against local small businesses (much of this anti-competitive behavior is facilitated by banks and especially credit-card companies).
Over the past 30 years the economy has gotten over-consolidated and therefore unresponsive to consumers and often flat-out abusive or exploitive to both consumers and workers. Trump has MASSIVE powers through the FTC, and he should use them. He should also break up ALL the communications oligopolies, going back to the rule that radio and television stations must be owned locally.
If Trump can get the Republicans to realize that the only way they win is as the party of the Middle Class--which should include everyone who works full time at a private-sector job--standing against the top/bottom coalition of the Democrats, he might get that slot on Mount Rushmore he covets.
But I doubt that GOPe Republicans (who are not just metaphorically stupid, but actually low-IQ) will be willing to able to avoid backsliding.
"and you were giddy at thought of what you claimed would be a slam dunk kamala win and the "brilliance" of jazzy spirit finger Stolen Valor Walz being on the ticket."
Hell, he was praising the acumen of Biden before that dirigible crashed and burned.
Exactly. The DNC has destroyed the Democratic party in order to enrich themselves and their Davos money changing billionaire contributors.
Fetterman is their biggest (literally) hope.
What we are finding out from DOGE is that what we took for low IQ among certain high profile media personalities was really better accounted for by "bought and paid for by the Democrats."
The Democrats' doubling down shows that they themselves are their 2 favorite arguments as noted by the professor. They are:
2.) Racist/sexist because DEI (affirmative action by another name) is inherently discriminatory by race and/or sex.
1.) Dumb because they are doubling down on it, even though the public at large hates DEI and recognizes its pernicious nature.
They promote DEI as a concept but couldn't even find good candidates for leadership among their DEU recruits. If you think I'm joking watch video of their votes for chair and vice-chair. They couldn't even find a reasonable black democrat to nominate, much less elevate. Ilhan Omar and AOC represent the pinnacle of their female leadership and ideas for governance.
That's got to horrify the "rank and file" left who care.
Any and all gripes at DEI are really just not-so-hidden bigotry and discrimination.
Jeff Jackson was NC Senate and US House. He introduced a bill to repeal HB2, so he's fine with boys in girls locker rooms (Charlotte's nuttiness, his district, was the impetus for HB2). He and our new Dem governor are lucky that the Repub legislature will keep them from going too far left.
Tell that to the Asians in California -- they'd not be able to attend college if DEI put others in those slots. California's voters do not support DEI.
“ what I see is (1) some have a strong desire to help people in need, and/or (2) some struggle with feelings of exclusion, inferiority, or failure across their entire lives. “
The trite but true statement is that the issue is never the issue, the issue is the revolution.
The next truth is that the day after the revolution succeeds, All the revolutionaries are shot.
DEI is a disincentive for those whom it is intended to benefit to strive for excellence.
Sorros does not donate millions because he feels sorry for the underclass.
I promise to be weak and useless so that others can be better than me.
"Any and all gripes at DEI are really just not-so-hidden bigotry and discrimination. ..."
Cookie tells us we're all bigots, discriminating against his preferred format for bigoted discrimination.
Shorter cook: "You're racist".
