Is it not amazing how easily we are slipping into "1984"? In this case it is "NEWSPEAK" and the new acronym of 'DEI' which, as I have been forced to learn, means "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion". This joins with the myriad of terms that has come 'into' our common dialog over my lifetime that seem to have been created, championed and out-right IMPOSED by the LEFT!

Their linguistic ancestor appears to have been good old 'PC' that meant being 'Politically Correct'. That was driven by the fear of offending someone else who was sensitized to TAKING OFFENSE. Thus the art of victimhood as a winning strategy was born! With no surprise, the origin of PC appears to have derived from the 1930's Communism where a humorous, but telling, quip became popular;
“Comrade, your statement is factually incorrect.”
“Yes, it is. But it is politically correct.”

One thing I will note about this acronym of 'DEI', the small but interesting coincidence that "Dei", as found in such phrases as "vox populi vox Dei" (the voice of the people (is) the voice of God), is the Latin word for God. Wonder how that match just happened? [SARCASM]
