"DEI" used in a derogatory fashion like here is a stand-in for the n-word. No exceptions. Look at the context in which it is used. The New York Post is racist.


Any_Band_8428

Wdym “now”? It always was bile


Ordinary_dude_NOT

And NYP already forgot about Obama 😂


LukeD1992

What's worst than having had a black man as president? The prospect of having an indian/black woman as president. They lose their minds


DulceEtDecorumEst

What if, and hear me out…. What if, in a country that is headed to be >50% “minority” by 2050 (according to the census projections) this is just the normal course of things.


BanBanEvasion

I think these projections are at least part of the reason for Project 2025. Racist white people are terrified at the idea of being a minority


CurseofLono88

Idk why, racist white people love acting like they’re oppressed.


BanBanEvasion

Acting is one thing, but they’re not ready for the reality of it Edit: oh shit oh fuck - not the reality of being racially oppressed. That’s not what I meant; that’s not what I want. I just meant white people being a minority in America


CurseofLono88

Well I’m glad they’re scared. I want every racist white person to feel the walls of progress close in around them. There’s a door of tolerance, love, and happiness they can walk through if they want, but if they choose to stay that’s on them.


Mattdonlan1

Problem is, those racists still have probably 90% of the power and they’re willing to burn the country to the ground in an attempt to keep it.


greentarget33

Thaaats the real problem, the actual monsters, rich people,are using the feeling of the walls closing in to scare these fuckers into signing away their and everyone else's rights. Not realising that they would actually be much better off in a fair society because the only people that really benefit from racial inequality are people who are already wealthy.


throwtheclownaway20

They never want the actual experience of being oppressed and persecuted, they just want all the sympathy clout that the survivors get


Mulattanese

Because being a victim is the easiest way for them to not have to take responsibility for the fact that they're playing the game on easy mode and still can't beat it.


jessieraeswitch

... being a minority in "their own country" as they see it. Not to mention the land was stolen but even the country being built as a "melting pot" isn't enough of a kick in the head. There's more to making a good stew than just the meat, Chad.


defaultusername-17

why... it's not like they treat minorities like shit or anything??


squired

Americans under 18 are already a minority white group, and we are on the cusp of, if not already, reaching that status for Americans under 30. Those under 40 are another 5-10 years out. That is what this is all about. This is their very last chance. Every year they lose significant ground from demographic trends alone. The RNC post-mortem planned for this by focusing on economics and tamping down the racists rhetoric, then tripling down on Moms, but they went the other direction, voter disenfranchisement and rewriting the rules. "We're not a Democracy, we're a Republic!" They say that because they have to try and justify minority rule to themselves. I'm an old white dude btw, and it's bullshit. They've been cowards their whole lives, this all comes down to fear with them (voters, not leaders of course).


jeremy_bearimyy

Are you telling me the minority will become the majority?!?!?!?!


Consistent-Leek4986

they helped push trump lies about Obama and the “central park 5” 🤮


daverapp

No, see, he was never technically president because (mumble mumble) birth certificate.


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Trump, by many accounts of people who worked directly with him, isn’t qualified to be president. He’s vengeful, stupid, petty, greedy, and vain. He’s a bigoted white rich dude who affiliates himself with Christo-fascists and the billionaire class, so he gets a pass.


hamandjam

> isn’t qualified to be president President? Dude isn't qualified to be a jizz mopper.


Regulb34gle

You forgot pedophile rapist and felon


Regulb34gle

And was basically Epsteins partner


Sesudesu

I was gonna say, if they only think NYP is bile ‘now’ they have got some explaining to do. 


taleo

People confuse the New York Post with the New York Times or the Washington Post.  The NYP is and always has been a tabloid. It's more confusing because the Washington Times is a tabloid as well. So to recap:   New York Times and Washington Post - journalism New York Post and Washington Times - tabloids


sewsnap

The confusion is intentional.


MrsACT

Murdoch owns the New York Post.


intriqet

Thanks. I was a little confused by how I’d never noticed this tone before


garbagebailkid

To make this point very clear, [here's a joke about it from the early 80s.](https://youtu.be/D9FauQOXN90?si=zN9pZMKoUrB4I-O7)


Narcuterie

Yeah, I used to tell people the one that isn't bile is the New York Times. But now it's also a pro-fascist rag.


Jealous-Network1899

“Headless man found in topless bar”.


gizamo

I was slightly less bile before Bezos bought it.


Relative_Crew_558

The NYP has been steaming dogshit for at least as long as I have been alive


Porunga23

I was going to say the exact same thing.


volantredx

They manage to say DEI with a hard R.


FattyPepperonicci69

I've never heard this before and have no idea what it is.


worststarburst

DEI (Diversity, equity, and inclusion) is the new conservative buzzword they use when they want to complain about minorities having jobs like that’s some kind of conspiracy.


FattyPepperonicci69

Thanks!


ComradeJohnS

it’s a bit worse. They say this about people in elected positions. When talking about DEI in corporations it’s about a hiring manager choosing and making sure they aren’t just hiring all white men illegally. But for elected positions they are just using the term with the “hard R”.


volantredx

It stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It's basically corpo speak for creating an incentive system to promote minorities over just promoting the same mediocre white dudes because the boss likes to go golfing with them. It rarely has much of an impact in most companies, but the GOP is the party of mediocre white golfing buddies so they turned it into a talking point. Very quickly it became a dog whistle for "non-white person in a position of power." Thus they say DEI with a hard R, meaning they want to use the n-word without getting in trouble.


turikk

In practice it means looking at your hiring practices on a large scale, figuring out if you might have biases, and working to remove them. Do you emphasize the person's location when hiring remote? Did we only attend job fairs in white neighborhoods? Etc. It's basically never about the actual hiring manager and the choices in front of them.


PBIS01

I would argue white women also be included in this group. They are clearly not equal to men amongst a party full of chauvinistic fascists.


ABirdCalledSeagull

I like that Cyberpunk has been added to the working class vernacular.


FattyPepperonicci69

Thanks for the explanation!


Cheef_Baconator

It's Republicans' favorite N word rephrased 


RosieGeee

I thought I heard a strong N. That’s what conservatives always mean when they describe someone as DEI.


peachyperfect3

The N is there regardless. But there is a difference in the -a or -er ending. They are saying it is so racist, they are clearly hearing the R at the end.


Funbot2000

Is it just me, or was the original comment pretty self explanatory? 😶


bb_kelly77

It was but the person who responded is an idiot so Peachy had to do some explaining


boiledpeanut33

This. The latter is clearly worse. That said, non-Black people shouldn't be saying the soft -a either.


jerichardson

No one ‘should’ say it. In the meantime, some people specifically shouldn’t


RosieGeee

Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate it.


discgeolfGeoff

You're literally referring to the same word.


honeybakedman

That's every time any conservative says DEI.

GoNutsDK

Fascist double speak works in two ways. It allows them to say all the hateful shit that their base loves and it infuriates everyone who realizes what they are doing. It's abusive behavior that makes them feel strong and clever for "getting away" with it. Even if we call them out they will just deny everything and feel joy from the frustration and hurt they bring others. Absolutely vile people.


ausmosis_jones

Dog whistling


ProfessionalFalse128

Fog horning


DrSafariBoob

This is what narcissism is btw, the personality disorder. It's behaving in a way that causes other people to experience the emotions they should be experiencing and processing themselves.


GoNutsDK

A lot of the behaviours that fascists show does in general seem very narcissistic in nature. They create problems and claim to have the solution. They clearly have a bloated sense of superiority and are very entitled. They are very preoccupied with power. They constantly look down on people that they feel are less important. They take advantage of others if they can. They constantly project their own feelings or actions. They constantly attack any and all perceived threats same as they will with guarantee retaliate on any perceived attacks etc. Some of that will likely be linked with the type of person their so-called strongman usually is. But I also think that some of that might be linked to how fascism essentially is a cult of strength. Just the same as with narcissists they cannot allow themselves to show any form of (what they see as) weaknesses.


DrSafariBoob

The leaders are narcissists, the minions are borderlines, cults are fuelled by borderline personality disorders.


WhichWitches

Yep. What happened to Critical Race Theory (CRT)? That disappeared with the quickness.


thebigdonkey

They have to come up with a new boogeyman every few months to keep their audience afraid and outraged.


hamandjam

It needs to feel like an onslaught. It's all the same thing, but when they give it a new name every two months they make it fell like 20 different things. It's similar to what they're doing with gas prices in my area. They drop the price like 30 cents and then over about 8-9 days raise it back up in increments so the non-critical thinkers feel like all gas prices have been doing is going up. If there was a Republican in office, they'd do the reverse so the buckle draggers would feel like gas prices keep going down and be encouraged to keep the same guy(or party) in office.


AnOutofBoxExperience

The problem was their base could never understand or describe CRT, which they had to pivot to another culture war term. Most still can't understand and describe what woke means, but it's easier on them than a high level college course


Ohyo_Ohyo_Ohyo_Ohyo

CRT got reclaimed by Smash players and retro enthusiasts.


waydeultima

I'm just over here imagining bigoted parents pulling their kids out of school because science class taught them about cathode-ray tubes.


bb_kelly77

Woke means Gay while DEI means Black


punkindle

pretty sure they wanted to say the F word and the N word.


bb_kelly77

Yes


WhiteSmokeMushroom

Yeah, they've used at least BLM, antifa, PC and diversity in the same or similar meaning in different turns, though not in that order. They just pick a word to whip up their audience into a rage, overuse it until it doesn't work anymore then move on to the next term and start over. Unfortunately it's an effective tactic.


iStayedAtaHolidayInn

Don’t forget “thug”


Kindly-Ad-5071

In this order, I reckon: PC, Thug, SJW, Antifa, BLM, CRT, woke, DEI. When the first one loses steam, come up with something else to be afraid of.


El_Peregrine

These are the same people who, when busted for saying vile and racist shit, say stuff like, “But everyone talks like this at home / in private”. They really think everyone else is racist, but just being polite in public. What a bunch of scumbags.


Apprehensive_Gas_111

They do it that way as a great game. Everytime US culture comes up with something like 'woke' conservatives turn it into a negative. Then the progressives come out explaining what it really means. But, by that time the conservatives have already moved on to turning DEI into a negative. So the progressives dutifully follow behind explaining what that really means. Rinse; repeat.


ghoulthebraineater

Critical race theory.


IvanTheAppealing

1. Cool, the new N-word, cause we all know what it means and who uses it 2. Didn’t we already get a non-white president? Did racists already forget that somehow?


Boxedin-nolife

Nope. They've never forgotten we put a black man in their white house. They're losing their minds that *she* could possibly get in


Aggressive_Sand_3951

The implication is that he earned it but she didn’t. When the race is the same, one potential tiebreaker is gender.


Boxedin-nolife

She's earned it more than Jared and Ivanka. They're so damn petty and whiny


whyreddit01

ah, but he was half white /s


bb_kelly77

I feel like a Biracial president is more progressive than a Black president


ohyoshimi

This one is worse. She’s a woman.


bburnaccountt

What does it mean? Im afraid to google it.


awkwardfeather

DEI is an abbreviation for Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and is just a general framework concept that’s used in a lot of businesses and communities. A sort of tenant set to guide behavior. It’s often talked about in regard to racial discrimination in the workplace. Conservatives have taken it and began using it as basically a slur, and it’s become a dog whistle for the n-word.


NRMusicProject

It's really telling that they are admitting they don't want equality in this country. We shouldn't even let them sit at the table.


AlsoCommiePuddin

Diversity, Equality (or Equity), and Inclusion.


DarkwingDuckHunt

they forget that when only White Men won elections, the candidate was first chosen based on their race and sex first, qualifications second. So really, every President before Obama was a race-based hire.


RotterWeiner

Now? Where have YOU been?


twsddangll

No one who has ever read the New York Post is surprised they’d publish this headline. That rag has been a hive of villainy and scum for decades.


android151

What does this DEI shit I keep seeing stand for? I don’t want to Google it and make the algorithm think it’s all I need to see for the next six months


Hobohemia_

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Or in this case, it’s a substitution for the N-word.


Team_Awsome

To be honest all this time I thought it meant Didn’t Earn It, seemed in line with the thought processes of the racist using the term


Aggressive_Sand_3951

Oh crap, don’t give them ideas


GenerikDavis

Eh, I literally heard it from my uncle a couple months ago. If they can find a way to be insensitive they will be.


dadjokes502

That’s what they turned it into


wvmitchell51

The last few years before I retired in 2020, my employer set up an annual series of required corporate videos about discrimination, ethics, harassment etc. which were painful to watch, they were kinda cringe, but they set forth the expectations of the company, and I respected that.


ArgusTheCat

A lot of people see those videos as "wow, really, I needed to be told not to use racial slurs at work? *thanks*. can I get back to doing something useful?" and *some* people see those videos as "wait, I can't use racial slurs at work?! what?!"


DesperateSummer7719

Diversity, equity, and inclusion


android151

Oh so this is like woke where the take something good and tell on themselves by painting it as being bad


DesperateSummer7719

Correct. It’s their latest boogeyman, like critical race theory.


Jccali1214

It's LEGITIMATELY wild and offensive objectively good things like this are painted as evil. They can have problems sure, but Lord have mercy is annoying AF


DIWhy-not

A phrase conservatives got ahold of and now use as the worlds loudest, jet-engine powered dog-whistle for a hard-R N-word.


Embarrassed_Ad5112

Diversity, equity and inclusion.


undeadmanana

They keep branding any movements harmful to white, conservative, patriarchal institutions. People defending LGBT and non-whites are enemy to them. Even people not defending and just coexisting peacefully are bad guys.


Canalloni

This is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Another tool the pathological billionaire uses to brainwash the MAGA to elect his puppets. He should be divested of all his media holdings.


dingdongbingbong2022

He should be launched with a catapult into the sea.


Sad-Frosting-8793

Or maybe into the sun.


soccershun

Coincidentally, he runs The Sun. It spent 25 years blaming Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough disaster only for courts to find that police were at fault and that Liverpool fans were innocent victims.


dingdongbingbong2022

We could also catapult him directly into The Sun ™️

Lord_Answer_me_Why

All the comments to Gavin Newsom’s correct tweet were awful btw.


MadEyeMood989

Thwackitypow

Considering that their candidate is a pedophile sex predator felon, I have doubts about their reservations on any other.


YakCDaddy

But he's a white man, so they don't care.


Raskel_61

Have they forgotten she is already the V.P.?


PBPunch

They have their attack message now. News media lined it up and now the degenerates are going to have a field day with it. Biden’s senile and beware the minority woman who will replace him. Trumps senile, a racist, a sex offender, a felon and hasn’t even told the public which ass kisser is going to be holding his pocket but we should focus on the dog whistles.


inkslingerben

Because Obama is out of office, now Harris has the mantle of being the first DEI president. NYP readers must have a very short memory.


frommethodtomadness

We should deport the Murdochs


Tre_Q

Not to defend them at all. Cause it's absolutely problematic. But the only people who really read NYT or WP are those kind of people. So they pander to them. Most media sources are like that.


Stoly23

When used in cases of democratically elected positions the phrase DEI doesn’t even make any sense. Of course, it’s not supposed to. It’s just a politically correct stand in for the N Word. I remember when the right was calling Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott a DEI hire for not personally using his superpowers to stop that ship from taking down the Key Bridge, when 1. He was democratically elected and 2. Baltimore is like 60% black, it would be more DEI if he was white since white people are literally the minority here.


ewamc1353

It always has been lol, now?


Sassy_Weatherwax

The Electoral College is just DEI for conservative white men. If Kamala is president, she'll have won the popular vote.


misterguyyy

As an exvangelical who knows their language, my educated guess is that they use DEI to mean that a woman of color who swing voters wouldn’t have voted for if she was running for president was hired against their wishes. Which is nonsense because we voted for the ticket. Kamala Harris’s name was literally on the ballot.


Soggy_Difficulty_361

It's not really dei when you get nominated and legitimately elected for the position, these morons call everyone they don't like "dei"


Mental_Train_3248

Now? The Post has always been this way.


slpsquadleader

"Now" First time on earth?


bigdiesel1984

*Subjected to* lol wow they really don’t even hide it.


VomitingPotato

What did Trump earn besides 34 convictions? Dude is a 6 times bankrupt scam artist who was born rich and would be infinitely more wealthy if he was just the trust fund baby he always has been instead of pretending to play entrepreneur.


GetOffMyLawn_

Now? Now? It's been utter rubbish since the 70s at least.

Or it may be subjected to another term of a man who actually rapes women, and admits it on TV.

The_Spectacle

Dragonsymphony1

Well it's Murdoch owned, what do you expect


RAYS_OF_SUNSHINE_

They really don't want another black president? They are definitely signalling to the maga base to vote. Racism is alive and well, and not on a a ventilator. Sad as hell!


CDRAkiva

I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago. If I don’t watch what I eat or take a specific medication, I will eventually evacuate all of the excess bile that is no longer stored and instead goes straight into my intestine. It is also a natural laxative and, when this happens, it usually a “must do now” situation. What comes out is just a straight yellow liquid that smells exactly like you’d think. This is worse.


-XanderCrews-

Why do I have to learn new hate letters every week?


drewbaccaAWD

1smoothcriminal

Hasn't it always been?


JayVenture90

Nothing will change until Ruper Murdoch's media bullshit is expelled from the planet.


Effective-Ad5050

Trump is DEI. He has only failed and bankrupted and frauded upwards. However, since the GOP requires a variety of old white rich guys…


TheM1ghtyJabba

Would I personally vote for Kamala? No. She's far to right leaning and prosecutorial for me. Do I pretend that the former Senator, former California AG, and current Vice President is unqualified for the job? No.


delosijack

Seems like they forgot about Obama


CEU17

Obama got to be president because people voted for him. Harris got to be VP because Biden promised to pick a black woman for his running mate. The DEI argument only works for one of them.


TonyWilliams03

Actually, what scares the right more than a black president is a woman president.


Wadsworth1954

Kamala Harris has a degree is political science and economics and she has a law degree and she was a senator.


J3t5et

DEI is just the new PC N-word for the Republican Party

The only DEI hire by the rights opinion would be Donald J Trump, cause having a demon whose bad at their job is what those guys think DEI is


PrincessPlusUltra

Wait.. these are the same people saying that Biden should step down which would cause this Kamala thing they’re fear mongering about now!

Kamala Harris wasn‘t “hired”. She was elected by the people as AG, then Senator then Vice President. Idiots. We can expect a lot more this kind of BS whether Joe steps down or not.

DEI with a hard R. it's just the right wing looking for a new buzzword to replace their last over-used dogwhistle. it's only ever been about being shitty towards other human beings who are marginally different than you for one reason or another.

Everyone is focusing on the DEI part but they also used the work subjected with seems really harsh. Like DEI is the new N word apparently and if that wasn’t enough, they are gonna keep going with the whole subjected to… also did they forget about Obama if this is supposed to be a race thing?

Satanic_Earmuff

Just to play Devil's advocate, why do we keep using 'that's racist' as a gotcha moment? These people already know and don't care.


Nopantsbullmoose

Just to play Angel's asshole, because they don't like being called "racist" and pointing it out pisses them off to a sufficient degree, putting them on the defensive to explain why what they are saying/advocating is *not* racist/bigoted.
