I dont think a lot of people, particularly rural Americans, get the need for DEI.
Here's a study in Boston from 10 years ago
According to a 2015 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston study, the median net worth of Black households in Greater Boston was $8, compared to $247,500 for white households.
When you localise school districts, pretty much all the black families live in neighborhoods with lower tax bases and therefore have the worst schools.
Kids don't get the opportunity to go to better schools/colleges.
The game is rigged. DEI was an attempt to even out the spread a tiny bit.
If you think DEI is depriving the best people from getting the best jobs, you're very much mistaken.
I know most of the American posters on here get this but those from the UK might not.
As an aside, I've never understood why school funding is based off your towns tax base and not your states tax base. The difference in standards of kids schools from town to town is insane and it only widens (by design),
