When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. (lemmy.world)

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

If he lacks political experience, he chooses someone who has it. If he lacks international experience, he chooses someone who has it.

I mean, this just sounds like good teamwork

Fundamentally DEI is about good teamwork. You want a diverse team of people with different backgrounds and experiences.

The repubs have successfully tricked a large number of people (including liberals/centrists) into accepting their premise that DEI is a bad thing. When they accuse someone of being a DEI hire the response shouldn't have been "nuh-uh, she was chosen for her merits," it should have been "so what? What makes you think she's not up to the job?"
