Question for the Trumpeteers:

Why do you care so much about DEI programs?

How do they personally hurt you?

Can you somehow not buy plywood because of Home Depot’s DEI program?

Can you not enlist in the Coast Guard because of a DEI program?

Budweiser not taste the same because of a DEI program?

I’m trying to understand this backlash beyond good old fashioned bigotry…

DEI passes over more qualified candidates, putting people who don't know what they're doing in those jobs instead.

@NativePortlander1970 how do you know that others are more qualified? By whose standard?

If I am choosing between two applicants to staff my plumbing department, and one has worked as a plumber for 20 years but is a jerk, and the other has worked other customer service jobs for 5 years, who is more qualified? My job description lists knowledge of plumbing and friendly disposition as job requirements.
