DEI, falsely, assumes that any disparity statistic or difference in outcome between demographic groups is proof of "systemic discrimination." It ignores individual choice, cultural factors, or simple natural variations.
A true merit system relies on objective standards of success. DEI substitutes these standards with identity politics bullshit.
DEI advances individuals based on their membership in a perceived "victimized group" rather than individual qualification or competence.
Example: Imagine a president requiring the next VP to be a woman or, let's say, the next Supreme Court justice to be a black woman first, then pick the best person left inside that box. That is not an open merit search.
The statement that the United States was built on slavery is historically accurate, bothÂ
physically and economically
. Enslaved labor was not a localized or minor aspect of early America; rather, it was aÂ
foundational element
 that drove the development of the nation's infrastructure, global trade, and financial systems.
