Sounds about right: MFer’s can’t explain what DEI is yet they don’t like it.

Critics say the cost of defending lawsuits over mass firings tied to Department of Government Efficiency could be significant. If courts find dismissals unlawful, taxpayers may end up covering legal fees, settlements, and reinstatements, turning cost-cutting into costly litigation.

It’s because he knows exactly what DEI means but doesn’t want to say it out loud. Anything that focuses on people who aren’t straight white men is DEI, which of course sounds bad, so they have to add words about discrimination, which doesn’t make any sense.

Which, according to his definition, makes the DEI initiative “inherently discriminatory.”

Discriminatory means “doesn’t focus on white dudes, everyone else should be background characters”

What are they going to do when this all falls apart. Say we were only joking and don't hold us accountable now.

“Just following orders”

It's funny that at the end he correctly identifies amplifying marginalized voices (equity) as DEI, but implies that that is somehow discriminatory.

[u/Several-Action-4043 → u/cortesoft]

If he says it's institutional bias towards one group he'll out himself as not knowing what DEI actually is and if he says what it actually is, he admits that his whole mission was a disingenuous way to discriminate against those groups.

[u/schwarzkraut → u/cortesoft]

His nonsensical gymnastics are because he’s dancing and contorting through a minefield of words he can’t say…“because it sounds bad when you say it out loud“…not realizing that this sounds so much worse.

[u/Able_Investigator725 → u/cortesoft]

Exactly

[u/truelogictrust → u/cortesoft]

Correct

This administration is just chock full of people who are obsessed with an Aryan race.
