But don't you see? They're the victims of woke DEI cancel multicultural Marxism run amok!
He's a liberal intellectual forcing his DEI woke mind virus elitist views on his students who dare to think different!
What's DEI?
It used to be called affirmative action, and it's existed for at least 30 years. Then the liberals renamed it to dei a few years ago and it suddenly became the biggest threat to american democracy
Depending in who you ask.
Leftists (or even neoliberals): Diversity Equity Inclusion
Magat: Deathcamps Extermination Invasion
Laws put in place to prevent discriminate hiring practices.
If i understood correctly, not being racist
You didn't. It's not being racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, xenophobic or an asshole.
There was a quota for hiring assholes? That explains a lot.
Others already gave you the correct answer, but even so, knowing full well what it is supposed to mean and in complete ignorance of how little sense that makes - my brain always wants to read it as "Does Enyone Ilse"
FYI is stupid but it isn't DEI it is DEIA, hateful conservatives didn't want to attack minorities AND disabled people at the same time because they are pathetic cowards, so they drop the A when they bash DEI.
I am sure they all decided this in their big Asshole Bullies meeting, it is blatantly obvious.
It also confuses people because it is another (incorrectly spelled) acronomyn and that is always helpful when you are robbing the shit out of people.

That may be true, but at actual companies the term DEI is almost always used, not DEIA, for internal initiatives.
Well now that we are on the topic, let us consider why large corporations and organizations do that?
The people who run these initiatives tend to be people who care, actually, in my experience. It’s DEI because DEI is the standard industry-wide term. Have you worked at a company that uses the DEIA initialism instead?
I am not questioning the motives of any one particular person, I am asking why the system is the way it is.
Where did the A go?
An apparently socially acceptable replacement for the n word.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion/Inclusivity. Also the new favorite bogeyman of the "anti-woke" fascists
I believe you mean dogwhistle for racists.
That too, yeah
Yoink.
