We've LONG known that when #TheOrangeMenace or his #Cult accuses someone of something, it's a Confession.

Their argument against #DEI is that it is "#AffirmativeAction" that results in hiring/promoting "less qualified" people simply due to their #race/#gender.

And yet, the result has been to weed out QUALIFIED minorities so less qualified Frat-boys like #Kegstand not only are given jobs they AREN'T qualified for, but then protected when they are shown to be incompetent. 🤨

Pete Hegseth's confirmation as Secretary of Defense proves GOP outrage at DEI isn't about merit. It's about preserving white men's privilege. Rep. Joyce Beatty

It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: the public release is already enough to mass target people based on their race, gender and immigration status, not to mention the actor's anti-#DEI anti-#AffirmativeAction positions. Freezing credit might still be too little too late, but at this point I fail to see any better recourse (even after consulting with professionals).

BEE or Black Economic Empowerment is a form of affirmative action, it’s a policy of the South African government which aims to facilitate broader participation in the economy by black people intended especially to redress the inequalities created by apartheid. #apartheid #affirmativeAction #BEE #BlackEconomicEmpowerment en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Ec

The proposals include eliminating the Dept of #Education, weakening tenure protections for #career #CivilServants & conducting large-scale #immigration #raids. Many of the proposals overlap w/policies officially supported by the #Trump campaign, including ending #AffirmativeAction, repealing temporary protections [#TPS] for some #immigrants & undoing the #Biden admin’s #environmental regulations.
