On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Scarborough offered a profoundly deceptive defense of DEI.
Scarborough claimed that the 'E' in DEI stands for "equality." But as he well knows, it stands for "equity"—the diametric opposite of equality.
The American ideal is equality of opportunity. Equity stands for equal outcomes, regardless of merit. It's the difference between the right of people to the "pursuit of happiness" and the government being in the happiness-providing business—for favored groups.
Scarborough also claimed that "diversity" is fundamentally American, citing E Pluribus Unum—out of many one. But DEI advocates don't call for assimilation into "one" America of shared values. To the contrary, they promote multiculturalism, in which there is no interest in assimilation. They encourage people to remain in their separate identity groups. Just as they've divided museums.

Scarborough has slid from proud conservative congressman to someone reduced to taking a paycheck to deceptively promote DEI.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Do not listen to the jack in the box
I’m somewhat curious as to how Beavis still has a television show, but not so much as to go look up ratings or revenues.
Good advice.

He is white. Using DEI means he minds not the manipulation of people for purposes of his own. Pawns.
Evil.
DEI is basically acceptable way to say “Violation of Title IX”
There is no cure for inequality.
The fact that Joe “This is the best Biden ever” still has his job shows just how sick the left is.
Give me a definition of “Equity” that doesn’t mean exactly “Take from productive whitey and give to lazy blackie.”
They want Equality of Outcome, not Equality of Opportunity.
MS whatever is getting pathetic....
