“DEI hire” is arrogant. That’s a great way to other people instead of owning the flaw. I appreciate the call for maturity in the field. Own your flaws.

It actually blows my mind that these people can see a bad thing happen, know exactly zero about it, and conclude “must have been a (insert slur) who did that”. They did the same shit with the Baltimore bridge collapse.

Hold on now, it could also be shorthand for “I’m a massive misogynist shitweasel”.
