ZOE STRIMPEL notes:
Indeed, nowhere have these absurd linguistic gymnastics and their acutely harmful effects been clearer than in the spread of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) ideology.
This is the latest short-hand for the system of belief that, as the American journalist Bari Weiss has put it, “replaced basic ideas of good and evil with a new rubric: the powerless (good) and the powerful (bad)... People were to be given authority in this new order not in recognition of their gifts, hard work, accomplishments, or contributions to society, but in inverse proportion to the disadvantages their group had suffered, as defined by radical ideologues.”
