Despite its name, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)” policies are not about fairness, opportunity, or unity. They are a thinly veiled system of race and gender-based discrimination designed to divide Americans for political gain. Rather than fostering meritocracy, DEI reduces people to identity categories, rewarding or punishing them for traits beyond their control. It is not a mistake or a misunderstanding—it is a deliberate tool of power that undermines the principles of equal opportunity and individual liberty.
There is only one race: the human race. Yet DEI reduces people to nothing more than their skin color and gender, treating these superficial traits as determinants of worth and capability. But, skin color, like eye color or shoe size, is completely irrelevant when it comes to intelligence, character, work ethic, or competence. It is an external trait that tells us nothing about an individual’s ability to contribute to society. Any policy that prioritizes skin color in decision-making is, by definition, racist.
True fairness does not require racial or gender sorting. If discrimination is wrong in one direction, it remains wrong in all directions. Remarkably, DEI policies insist that discrimination is justified as long as it serves their ideological objectives. This is racism and gender discrimination repackaged as progress, and it must be rejected.
The only relevant factor in an employment decision should be the employee’s ability to fulfill the demands of the job at hand. Biological differences between men and women exist, particularly in physically demanding jobs. A 90-pound woman should not be required to lift 100-pound boxes just to satisfy a diversity quota, nor should biological men be allowed to compete in women’s sports, where they hold an undeniable physical advantage. The erasure of biological distinctions under DEI is not only unfair—it is dangerous.
A core fallacy of DEI is the idea that individuals should be rewarded or punished based on historical injustices. No one inherits history, guilt, or virtue—these are not passed down through blood but shaped by individual choices. Assigning privilege or victimhood based solely on skin color or gender is an oversimplification that ignores personal history, struggle, and achievement.
Policies that grant advantages or disadvantages based on race or gender foster resentment. Those who lose out due to DEI feel wronged, and those who benefit may question whether they earned their success. This creates distrust, not unity.
DEI policies empower bureaucrats to decide who is privileged, who is oppressed, and who deserves special treatment. This is a direct violation of America's founding principles of individual liberty and equal protection under the law. Government should not be in the business of racial and gender favoritism; doing so is unconstitutional, divisive, and morally indefensible.
Supporters of DEI frequently talk about "structural racism," yet DEI itself is structural racism. It institutionalizes race-based decision-making, ensuring that identity, rather than ability, determines success. If the goal were genuine fairness, DEI policies would be unnecessary—individuals would be judged on merit alone.
The real path to opportunity is not race- or gender-based favoritism, but capitalism—a system that rewards talent, effort, and innovation. In a free market, businesses succeed by hiring the best people, regardless of race or gender. Discrimination is bad for business, and companies that engage in it lose to those that prioritize competence.
History proves this. The minimum wage, for example, was introduced in part by white labor unions in the early 20th century to prevent Black workers from competing for jobs at lower wages. (Source: Mises Institute) Like DEI today, it was framed as fairness but in reality, it limited opportunity and harmed those it claimed to help.
Despite the salesmanship of progressive Democrats, DEI is not a well-meaning attempt to correct injustice; it is a deliberate political strategy designed to divide, control, and erode the foundations of fairness and meritocracy. It replaces individual liberty with collective guilt, creates resentment, and institutionalizes discrimination under the guise of progress. Merely suggesting a color-blind society sends the political left into a frenzy because the idea directly threatens their agenda, which depends on keeping people categorized, resentful, and in perpetual conflict. But we must reject their divisive tactics and strive for a truly color-blind society—one that values individuals for their character and abilities, rather than allowing propagandists, con artists, and politicians to keep us divided for their own power and profit.
The nation must continue supporting the Trump Administration’s bold efforts to roll back DEI policies across the country—an essential step in restoring fairness and unity. By dismantling race- and gender-based hiring, training, and education policies, it reaffirms the American ideal that individuals should be judged by merit, not by identity. This is a significant victory in the fight against racism and bigotry—one that moves us toward a more just and truly equal society.
America was built on the idea that every person deserves the chance to succeed based on their own merit. The Trump Administration’s efforts to dismantle DEI policies represent a crucial step toward restoring that vision. If we want a future defined by opportunity rather than division, we must reject DEI in all its forms and reaffirm the principle of equal treatment under the law.
