You are half right, but I think that democrats intentionally use black people as the face of DEI to try to promote some destructive ideals of progressivism such as feminism, sexual deviancy, and postnationalism .
While using us to make DEI look "just", they sneak homos, white women, and foreigners into the slots.
At the same time, racists make us the butt of the jokes because talking about faggot whites and weird whites who want to "identify" as something else is forbidden.
The same mockery was done with Affirmative Action for years.
This is how whites enriched themselves for decades.
