Again, I am not in favor of those things. I am perfectly happy for interviewees to be filtered for basic respect for people of all walks of life. I hope the reasoning there is obvious.

Is approval of affirmative action or DEI policies a mark of basic respect for people of all walks of life?

It’s crazy to me how blown out of proportion that simple acronym has become over the last few years.

Everything gets judged by its worst members, you can't just say that it was fine were you are and then conclude it was fine everywhere.
