to get an idea, he hangs out with Steve Bannon and Roger Stone
They are easy to find with a search engine if you want to learn
I have searched him and did not find any bigoted quotes. Even his SPLC page only has quotes of him wanting to restrict immigration, which is a common and mainstream opinion and quite the stretch to use as an example of bigotry.
> The conservative legal group said Red Hat announced DEI goals that involved “quotas”, aiming “to remake its workforce demographic, seeking to reach 30% women globally and 30% associates of color in the United States by 2028.”
> Miller’s group cited video footage of IBM’s CEO Arvind Krishna and Red Hat CEO Paul Cormier discussing diversity. Krishna says in the video that corporate executives’ bonuses can be affected if they don’t meet DEI goals.
The video reference is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q53zscZdtdA
Notably, the CEO explicitly states that "people of color" does not include Asians. It's very likely that the 30% quota exceeds the representation of "people of color" in the workforce. Remember, quotas and caps are two sides of the same coin. "Reach at least 30% women" is the same as saying "reduce men* to below 70%". And in a field where men make up 80% of the workforce, that's unambiguously disadvantaging men.
* and nonbinary to be pedantic
I also contest the notion that goals are distinct from quotas. If your company says, "meet our goal of hiring X% women or we'll dock your pay" that's not a quota?
Goals and quotas are not mutually exclusive. What's the difference between, "our hiring goal is X% women" and "our hiring quota is X% women"? Some say that a quota necessarily requires a negative consequence for failure to meet the quota. But if your failure to meet the percentage "goal" results in a negative consequence like docked pay - which is what IBM is doing - then the goal is indistinguishable from the quota.
