The very concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion has always been a joke outside of leftist circles — albeit a joke with a very unfunny punchline.
You simply don’t combat perceived “racism” with actual racism, which is what DEI effectively amounts to. That much has always been obvious to anyone who doesn’t wholeheartedly identify with the left.
Nowadays, it appears the left is grappling with its own realization that DEI isn’t quite what it was sold as.
And no leftist is learning that lesson more painfully than Texas Democrat and Senate hopeful Jasmine Crockett.
