I don't think you understand what DEI is or how it works if you feel that it is discriminatory.
It just exists to make sure that people are given a fair shake not that anyone gets an automatic leg up.
DEI programs are what let the best person for the job be hired. Without them people are discarded simply because of their name or race or etc etc.
If you truly want the best person for the job to be hired you support DEI initiatives because that's the whole idea and point of it.
That's called meritocracy not DEI though.
DEI is a tool for increasing meritocracy.
How? Meritocracy means only qualification matters. There's no Q in DEI but a too much other letters.
By ensuring there aren't artificial barriers in place due to a person's race/gender etc etc. DEI isn't about being exclusionary - it's about making sure everyone gets a fair shot and tries to remove the internal biases we all have.
