Which of course actually means nothing. Being against DEI is just a coded way of saying, "we don't want to compete with women and non-white people".

Bullshit.

It’s framed as an equality movement whereas it takes as an axiom that society is built on systemic oppression - that’s the unquestionable tenet. And then the prescription is using governments power to impose “preferred” outcomes, no matter the cost.

Thanks, but no thanks - I prefer to live in a meritocracy.

Also my personal pet peeve - having a cultural preference is not racism, god damn it! Not all cultures are the same, and we should be allowed to state and fight for our preferences! (Unlike discriminating on the basis of physical appearance or features, which is actual racism).

The fact that America equates the two is asinine to me (as an immigrant)

You didn't say, but I think strongly implied, this is untrue. Why do you think so?
