Noticed how black women with Ivy-League degrees and 20 years of experience are called "DEI" hires but some random guy from FoxNews is expertly qualified to run the DOD.

@ronaldtootall He's a DUI hire. Rethuglicans like racist/rapist bros.

A random guy from FoxNews who got kicked out of the very military he is going to be leading... Not a great fit, no matter what MAGAts say.

Something generally missing from discussions about affirmative action:

It's necessary NOT because of a lack of ability among the deprivileged.

It's necessary because those doing the selecting, hiring, admissions, are so bad at noticing merit, so they fall back on the heuristic of 'people like me.'
