Wanted: Euphemism for DEI

DEI — i.e., systematic discrimination against normal people who do not belong to privileged identity groups favored by the liberal establishment — has been struck from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Fox News reports from Tinseltown:

Actress Issa Rae said Thursday that she believes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has become a toxic topic for the entertainment industry.

At any rate it is a toxic topic for the public. The unfairness implicit in DEI makes nonmoonbats gag.

Rae was asked about Hollywood and other major industries rolling back DEI initiatives since President Donald Trump took office again in 2025. As a series creator herself, Rae admitted that people have to be “smarter” about how they package diverse projects.

“Like, ‘It’s not a show about a Black woman, it’s a show about class,'” Rae said. “As icky as that might feel, it gets the show sold. You know, a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.”

Likewise, universities have been changing the names of DEI programs due to pushback via the Trump Administration.

Liberals speak in euphemisms (“reproductive healthcare” for abortion, “gender-affirming care” for sex change procedures, etc.), so they should have no problem coming up with one for DEI.

They are fond of praising themselves for their tolerance; maybe they could use “tolerance” to mean DEI.

In 2025, [Rae] canceled a sold-out show at the Kennedy Center after Trump was named chairman of the center.

Never mind. Liberal tolerance already means intolerance.
