The author is a black guy. I don't know if that makes it any "better," but like, goddamn.
Also his Wikipedia literally describes him as a DEI expert. Which I found funny because it sounded totally made up as something to be an expert in. Like a self aware racist would call themselves that as a sort of joke.
Obviously he's a very public figure. Lots of info. But, saving the google.
I didn't pay thousands of dollars and spend years studying under both Professor Emeritus Vance Medley and Professor Valerie Variance to have my DEI double-doctorate slandered like this on the internet.
It's just the exact description sounded funny given the recent context of Republicans calling everything DEI this and that
His actual degrees in like racial equity are more along the lines of what I expected in a description, but that's probably just my own brainrot brought on by right wingers.
It's really just making it that much more obvious how "DEI hire" and such are only ever specifically meant to be slurs. You can't say "the racial hire? To fill the BLACK quota?" but you can plausibly ask about DEI hires... well you could. They've run that in the ground already.
