Few things in this nation are as reviled and celebrated as the “diversity hire,” an undeniably racist, sexist, and bigoted way of choosing who does and doesn’t get a job.
It’s easy to understand. If you’re white and you’re up against a someone of a different minority, sex, or identity, you’re probably going to lose out on that job because having someone in the room who isn’t white looks really good to a lot of different entities, such as the media, clientele, and even other businesses. You can also use it to cover yourself against accusations from politicians or activists of using racist tactics.
The long and short of it is that you might be denied a job strictly because you’re white and/or male, regardless of your talent, skill, or drive. Not only is this wrong from a moral stance that spits in the face of the “equality” that the left proclaims they cherish so much, but it’s also blatantly unconstitutional.
At some point, the issue has to be addressed in this country, and that’s exactly what Turning Point USA has decided to do.
TPUSA has teamed up with Stephen Miller’s America First Legal to address the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) practices taking place from the job market to the college campus. The idea is to provide pro-bono legal representation to people who have been denied opportunities due to these “wildly abusive and plainly unconstitutional discrimination” practices.
“These policies are widespread, as virtually every university and college campus in America today has an office of ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,’” said Miller in a statement. “D.E.I. D.E.I. is an acronym for a discriminatory and reductive ideology that views, judges, categorizes and defines people only based on their skin color or sexual orientation. We at America First Legal are extraordinarily proud to partner with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA to fight back.”
The duo cites Morgan Stanley as an example of a DEI offender, which has an internship called the “Freshman Enhancement Program,” billed as a program “designed to help diverse rising sophomores in college gain a better understanding of various business and career paths Morgan Stanley provides.” In order to take part in the program, Morgan Stanley stipulates that you be Black, Hispanic, Native American, or belong to the LGBT community.
Flagrant violations of federal law are a result of this. It effectively excludes any other race, such as Whites or Asians.
Charlie Kirk, CEO of TPUSA noted that he meets victims of DEI policies everywhere he travels.
“When I’m on campus or at our national student events, I often ask for a show of hands for all those who have been discriminated against because they are not part of a protected class of people, and nearly every hand is raised,” said Kirk. “This is wrong. This is not American. It is illegal. This is also illegal. America was founded upon the idea that your character and achievements are what define you. TPUSA is committed, along with AFL, to restoring this bedrock principle for all Americans regardless of what they look like or where they come from.”
It’s highly likely that the left will attempt to counter this with accusations of racism, but it’s not clear that the diversity hire practice is, itself, a clear practice in racism and likely won’t survive long in the higher courts. Rest assured that AFL and TPUSA will launch a series of social protests against this decision. Things are sure to escalate.
However, it is always a bad idea to try and take the power from the autoritarians.
