A Dr Claud Anderson has taught us, black folks have been assigned the role of a permanent under class.
As someone who works in corporate for over 30+ years, cancellation of DEI is meant for non-white racial groups.
White folks hate having to compete, East Indians, Asians, Arabs and Hispanics are seen as a threat. Removing DEI is meant to slow those racial groups progress in white dominated spaces.
The media is using a trick bag by associating DEI with black. That's a false narrative meant to deflect.
Asians learned the hard way when they help push an end to affirmative action. Remember the media kept running a narrative that less qualified black people were taking up seats in schools preventing qualified Asians and whites from getting in. Now Asians crying foul because they are having a hard time getting back into ivy league schools as a result of affirmative action ending.
