>I am sure it wasn't only the words that convinced Scott Adams, but the observed reality of who is being promoted and who is not.

Humans regularly misinterpret reality. It's why as a species we couldn't figure out jack shit until we started removing ourselves as arbiter of truth.

We are terrible at evaluating information and making conclusions.

My dad is pissed at a company for passing him over because "They only hire gay people in management" and not because.... he doesn't have an MBA and the people they hired do. Or that he doesn't know how to do anything more than low level management in general. Or that he is bad at big picture planning.

Nope, definitely the gays and this woke DEI.

My brother spent most of his life livid at "affirmative action" and seemingly blaming it for his limitations. Rather than blaming the fact that he did drugs instead of leveraging his intelligence to do well in school, dropped out of community college for no reason, and has never even applied to a real institution of higher learning or attempted to educate himself.

Some people just suck at recognizing their faults and make up boogeymen to blame.
