Then the right response is, e.g.

“Do you have any evidence that the CHIPS act require DEI?”

Yes, see the relevant sections here: https://x.com/bonchieredstate/status/1766467529151557788?s=4...

“Do you have any evidence that DEI distributes outcomes to favored activist identities?”

Happy to provide evidence from woke literature if you are interested in evidence of any aspect of how it works. They are pretty straightforward about it, but incredibly wordy.

Those are extremely biased, to put it mildly. Also random YouTube videos are not scientific evidence.

DEI has become a new conservative talking point but so far I haven't seen any evidence that such programs do anything to restrict hiring "white and Asian male[s]" as you put it. I've noticed some people complaining about what they imagine DEI means which is just the same old "affirmative action" complaints recycled.

I'm not saying there are not some cases of DEI-induced discrimination - the world is wide after all - but that isn't what DEI policies/programs say in their text or how they're intended to work. I have never seen anyone saying we should lower standards to meet some kind of "quota".

Again I want to point out that the numerous conservative attacks on affirmative action constantly claimed it was a quota system despite that being a flat-out lie. That makes me skeptical about this current round of conservatives blaming everything from the airline pilot shortage to fab personnel issues on "DEI".
