Surprisingly, they don't. Well, the ones who enact / reject these policies do, but the layman doesn't. It's incredibly frustrating to have friends and co-workers who reject the explanation for why DEI matters and is important

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does DEI stand for?

No need to apologize. Diversity, equity and inclusion. It's the principle that having more representation is a good thing. The Trump administration is against it because they claim it takes opportunities away from straight white men.

People denied COVID was real whilst gargling their own lungs. What the fuck would it take to convince you these assholes aren't secretly well-informed?

~~If they were secretly well-informed, why would they risk their life?~~

~~Why could you convicte them they are wrong?~~

~~Why would they hide it?~~
