”DEI hire” (and ”woke” for that matter) is used as some form of a right wing code word. They point at thing they don’t like and explain it’s because of [insert code word here]. Repeat it enough many times, and you get the impression there’s a pattern.
”Politically correct” served the same purpose before (until it somehow went out of fashion).
‘Diversity hire’ was a slur agsinst minorities and women for decades before DEI became a term. Turning DEI into a slur ss just the expanded version of the same thing since it also includes equity and inclusion.
Conservatives sure like twisting positive things into scary stories to rile up their base.
