DEI quotas have been around for decades. We just used to call it affirmative action and it was far less aggressive and blatant.

Affirmative action is strictly _better_ than some of the DEI nonsense. With affirmative action, you just reserve a bunch of positions for minorities, and then give them out based on merit.
With most of DEI, you either tweak the criteria to make job positions easier to get for minorities, or you lower your standards.

Do you have a source for this.
I have worked for dozens of enterprise companies with DEI policies and not a single one dropped standards to attract "minorities".

It was MORE blatant and transparent, which IMO is the bare minimum for government-sanctioned racism. If we are going to do AA, we owe it to EVERYONE to make it clear exactly how and when we will do it. Sneaking it in disingenuously will rightfully piss people off.
