Swinging the Pendulum

Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right Racial discrimination and segregation unfortunately continue to exist, although they're not nearly as prolific as they were a century ago. In the 1960s, President Johnson started Affirmative Action, and its implementation over the next half-century had become Reverse Discrimination by letting minorities jump to the front of the line rather than joining the line in an equal basis with whites. Job applicants were given the shaft by all of this, even though they themselves didn't benefit from discrimination, let alone implement them. I applaud the end of Affirmative Action and its current form lumped in as "DEI". Pushing agendas is creating a massive backlash, and I look forward to the end of the "If it's male and pale, it's stale" mindset. And don't lump Environmental Responsibility with DEI. Fixing the environment actually helps with equity, as people wouldn't be limited by growing up in pollution.
