Ah yes. "Equal opportunities" of the old days, like being told to be out of town by sunset or you'll be lynched, or firing women who get pregnant, or redlining neighborhoods and adding restrictions too deeds to prevent the "wrong sort" of people (aka anyone not white) from moving in.
"DEI Ideology" is a made-up boogie man that the far-right created as an excuse to discriminate against minorities and their allies, since being outright racist isn't acceptable anymore. White conservatives are terrified of meritocracy.
EDIT: In hindsight, this may have come across as an attack on the other commenter. That was not the intent, nor was the intent to accuse them of the horrific crimes of the past. These were used as used as examples of the reality experienced by minorities and women throughout US history, including the latter half of the 20th century to the present (to a lesser degree).

Chill it.
Got it.
Huh? How did you go from "people should have equal opportunities" to lynching and firing pregnant women? At this point you're just saying whatever you want.
Plus, lmao at the hypocrisy of calling DEI a "boogeyman" while simultaneously accusing anyone disagreeing with you a racistsexistlyncher. It's totally real, you're proving it yourself.
