We need to start calling it “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” I know it’s a few extra syllables, but if we can adopt that language and the press can adopt it, then we can press these fucking idiots on which part of it they find criminal.

It also makes it obvious how stupid a phrase like “do DEI” is.
