"DEI hire" is the racist shithead spelling of the N word.

What is CRT? My first thought is cathode ray tube, but it's probably Caucasian replacement theory, yeah? Sounds like their schtick

I think they will just call her "the DEI candidate", which is a few layers isolated from the actual N-word, so they can have some plausible deniability for the moderates, while also signaling to the radicals.

the DEI candidate

Non American here... Do I even want to know?

The current far-right boogeyman.

They use it to claim people that are not white, cishet, able-bodied, male, etc. are hired for their "diversity quota", not their skills, while also appearing as reasonable to moderates. In my country (Hungary), similar backlashes were used to get minorities fired or not hired for some single minor mistake, and then hire a way worse non-minority. I was the victim of such thing, they asked my brother if I have "random violent meltdowns that end with destroyed equipment and bit co-workers", when my brother said no, they decided to make me write on a table (which I suck at), where I was "too slow", so they hired some more neurotypical guy, who had like almost zero programming knowledge, while I was described as "already having junior-level knowledge from open source projects".

That sounds like a compliment then

Is that really a fucking bad thing for these

Bill Ackmann (a 9 bn dollar heavy reptiloid billionaire) posted a lengthy rant against it on that birdsite and our lord and saviour Elmo concurred and proclaimed that it's racist, immoral and illegal although similar programs were already in place since 1964 in the USA.

MAGAs regularly claim that it's the fault of DEI when something goes south, e.g. Boeing machines failing, the CrowdStrike thingy, the bridge crash in Baltimore or Harris getting to the position she's now in.

The N word doesn't work on her. Kamala is Jamaican/Indian and has been criticized for being too hard on blacks by some.
Also, DEI has benefited the right in their past, when their ancestors arrived in America, but they are too ignorant to understand that.

Yes I'm sure racists stop and consider the nuance of the slurs they use lol

This is like that tweet where an Asian woman tells her mother that her using Cantonese instead of Laotian isn't going to stop the racists.
