This is the truth behind the so-called 'anti DEI' facade. Pure, virulent racism.
Like Pete Hegseth complaining that just because the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is black, no-one knows if he's the best man for the job. Well now Pete is SecDef and everyone knows he is not the best man for that job. Nothing in his CV would get him into the interview pool for CEO of a medium size company if he wasn't country club buddies with the board, but who cares? He's a white guy who's willing to push the racist agenda and that's all the qualification that matters right now.
