THE DEI THAT DID-IN HARVARD’s PRESIDENT-—source: Fr thread

Harvard deleted nearly all DEI materials from its website following President Claudine Gay’s disastrous congressional testimony, in which she declined to say whether advocating for the genocide of Jews is permissible on campus. Recovered DEI documents through an Internet archive show
<><>DEI urges students to internalize the Critical Race Theory narrative,

One thing that is worth mentioning in these threads, is the potential for knee-jerk reactions and, dare I say, victimology on the side of normal Americans.

I’ve seen lots of FR threads going on and on about the “white male” being a victim of DEI, how the “whites” are under assault. Now, to be sure, that is a narrative that helps drive a wedge and is designed to frighten certain groups.

However, I’ve noticed a slight adoption of leftist victimization- people with poor work ethic etc are now blaming DEI for all their personal failures. It’s a page out of the leftist playbook, telling this or that group to blame “racism” for not getting a job etc. It’s a bad look.

Further, I sense that many posters think this blame game is being promoted by minorities. In general, no. Put bluntly, far left progressives who push this tripe, are actually lily white. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these chiefly white folks hold extremist views not JUST on race…

…but on a plethora of matters. Indeed, this lot holds more extreme views overall than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

These whites live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

America is great because of her people. Not in spite of them. And We the People will discarded all the nonsense pushed by the jar-shakers on the way to greatness.
