Florida’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has swept up a nearly six-decade-old St. Patrick’s Day parade, triggering outrage in Delray
St. Patrick’s Day parade cancled in florida because of anti-inclusivity law (DEI)
“I’m pissed 😡 can Delray stop ruining everything we love about this town,” one resident wrote.
Classic conservative failure to understand a problem. The problem is state law, not your town or city. The problem is being allergic to DEI because of hateful bigotry. Five bucks says this person agreed with the law before they found out it affected them.
I live in a very Italian American part of the country, many of whom are very anti-DEI. But, then I tell them that Columbus Day is just DEI for Italians. I take to much joy from watching the gears turn in their heads as they work it out. Italians Americans where basically the Mexicans of there time, every major immigrant group in America other than WASPS where, to many people forget that.
I’ve got older Italian American relatives who love to tell horror stories about the slurs they were called as kids, then turn around and use slurs against other minorities. We don’t talk so much anymore.
Italy is a modern invention, like 20th century modern. That’s be like telling a Prussian that they’re just German minus a hundred years. Early colonist’s considered themselves British, would you argue that they were actually American?
And people get jobs from relatives and friends and are not the most qualified, so they benefit but don’t want others to get jobs they are qualified for, if in discriminated groups. They didn’t like discrimination when they were new immigrants, but fine to dish it out to others, hypocritical, but the way of usa for sure, sadly and against supposed values.

Even better, tell them Columbus wasn’t Italian, he was Genoan and he sailed for the Spanish Crown.
Genova is in modern day Italy, so if he really was Genovese then yeah, he was Italian.

Ten bucks says they still agree with the law and just think that it shouldn’t apply to this
