If they’re not practicing that, then why is the Republican base so concerned with the Democrats DEI and equality initiatives? Why fight against something that isn’t practiced?

DEI has absolutely nothing to do with making sure everyone’s basic needs are met. It’s virtue signaling by saying white people and men are less qualified for jobs. Literally discrimination on the basis of protected classes.

Equality is discrimination? Interesting take. Typical though…someone in a privileged class sees equality as discrimination.

DEI isn’t a push for equality.
