    I haven’t heard DEI until a day or two ago, and now it seems constant. Is this the new “woke” term used to blame everything you don’t like on?

      It’s been a normal thing for maybe a decade now, but yeah ig when people got tired of hearing “woke,” the right went after DEI

        DEI as a term is probably at least that old. It started taking off as a “progressive” corporate training term after being watered down a bit about 4 or 5 years ago. And about a year ago, conservatives got their mitts on the term as another hot-swappable slur against anything that has even a LaCroix level hint of progressivism/leftism.
