Many who aren’t Nazis oppose DEI. But Google bowing to the government is more than just a conservative talking point. It’s the latest example of the cowing of business by an authoritarian government. The current government is at odds with those who oppose both DEI and authoritarianism, even as it dismantles DEI.

Interesting POV. Many today who oppose DEI are indeed racists - I think that’s clear. But some opponents may be unaware of the pervasiveness of systematic racism, or might differ on the best way to address it, or may have other reasons for their beliefs - reasons that probably aren't all reducible to racism.

Just because you don't know you're being racist doesn't mean you aren't being racist. That's what systematic racism means.
