Clarifying my stance on DEI

 So, I got word that Trump basically repealed a 1960s Executive Order banning hiring discrimination in the government, which is, quite frankly, insane, so given I came out in support of him getting rid of DEI recently, I wanna thread the needle and clarify my stance.

I oppose hiring discrimination. It SHOULD be banned. However, I oppose DEI because DEI...is...hiring discrimination. The point of DEI is to promote hiring more POC, women, etc, in order to promote "diversity, equity, and inclusion." It sees the status quo as "systemic racism" and how we basically need to be discriminatory to compensate for the discrimination in the system that exists, even WITH bans on hiring discrimination, and I just see it as trying to make two wrongs equal a right. 

So...I oppose hiring discrimination, and I agree that should remain banned. Trump is wrong for repealing that. But I still oppose "DEI", if that makes any sense at all. I think that's a pretty reasonable stance to take.
