DEI policies result in hiring unqualified individuals based on irrelevant identity characteristics, leading to incompetence and systemic failure.

“This is what inevitably happens when the government forces hundreds of thousands of competent workers out of the workforce in the name of public health and then imports millions of fake asylum seekers from the third world to replace them while also elevating unqualified Americans on the basis of irr”

Ben Ferguson argues that DEI policies prioritize specific groups over meritocracy, contrary to Martin Luther King's dream of judging people based on character rather than skin color.

“and what his dream was was not to have a pie that is okay how many transgender people do have in the pie or gay or lesbian or black or white or Hispanic and have a kumay ya P his goal was that you never judge someone based on the color of their skin his goal was to say the best should lead the best ”

DEI policies are fundamentally racist, anti-meritocratic, and serve to aggregate power for unelected bureaucrats rather than ensuring fairness.

“DEI was racist is racist will always be racist it is antithetical to what Martin Luther King believed content of character and that would extend to merit-based recognition of human beings”

Jordan Peterson asserts that DEI policies lead to the hiring of unqualified individuals, demoralizing those hired on merit and causing institutional failure.

“Do not do someone a favor when you're hiring them because it's not a favor. If you take someone and you and you aren't thoroughly convinced that they're competent for the job, all you're doing is either setting them up for eventual failure or you're downloading all their obligations to their minions”

Janae Shamp advocates for banning DEI practices in government by mandating that all hiring decisions be based solely on merit, qualifications, and ability rather than demographic characteristics.

“So what it does is it mandates that anyone that's hired to work for the government in the state of Arizona has to be hired based on qualifications, based on education, based on ability, uh previous job performance. So it focuses on actual merit merit of the employee for the job that they're intervie”

DEI programs should not be eradicated, but rather their necessity in addressing historical racial and gender-based inequities must be recognized.

“It's not so much that you want to eradicate DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. I'll let somebody else argue on behalf of that. What I like to focus on is how dare you try to ignore the reason for its existence in the first place.”

Affirmative action acts as a Band-Aid for systemic racism, but it should still be supported as it helps move society in the right direction.

“it's not even KLA Harris that frustrates me about that uh it's the fact that Biden said that about katangi Brown Jackson Who literally is more deserving of a supreme court appointment than most of the other Supreme Court Justices”
