Affirmative Action vs. Race-Neutral Admissions: A Case Study | WSJ > .

Meritocracy Maligned = DEI - Buck >> .

Legislated and culturally-enforced Diversity Equity Inclusion abandons the admirable principles of opportunity and sacrifices merit on the altar of Discriminatory Enforced Inclusion. In practice, demanding that educational institutions and employers discriminate against those of the designated "unacceptable race" (white, Asian) in favor of designated "acceptable" but less qualified (black) individuals is both racist and counterproductive. 

Because Asians typically perform well, they risk being subject to double discrimination: not only are they not protected as a minority, but many better-qualified Asians are passed over in order to provided whites with those positions not reserved for blacks. 

In some cases, fairness will be achieved by rewarding the inherently-able but opportunity-disadvantaged. In others instances, productivity and competence will flounder. 

Implicit in the policy is an assumption that those of the protected ethnicity are inherently inferior --------- hence the need for protective policies to impose equity. This too is racist and demeaning to those who have not been provided with opportunity and encouragement from a young enough age.

Imposing "equity" also engenders resentment and distrust, activating "white supremacist" backlash. Politicized backlash contributed to an ill-advised election result. Racist intolerance evoked the disgusting reactivity > of Trump's unsubstantiated, contra-fact blaming > of an air tragedy on "DEI hires".

Imposing "equity" also encourages the politicized a priori assumption that a "DEI hire" must have been elevated despite lack of merit. This too is racist because distrust has replaced the pre-DEI assumption that blacks who advanced despite race, must have been more capable than white competitors. 

Hence, capable individuals are tainted by accusations of:

"Didn't Earn It." 

"Don't Even Invest." 

"Deliberate Exclusionary Insistence." 

"Dooming Education Intentionally." 

More accurate, as a result of Trump's disgusting politicizing > of the tragic Washington air collision:

The problem is not DEI, the problem is DJT
DEI = Donald's Extreme Ignorance
DEI... Donald and Elon's Incompetence
Donald's Enormous Incompetence
Donald's Egotistical Inhumanity
DEI = Don Eric Ivanka
