I sadly suspect we’re going to see some risk adverse hiring of boring white dudes in all positions of leadership. Regardless of competence.

We’re already seeing DEI weaponized. Any non white male person in charge of an organization that makes a mistake will be labeled a “DEI Hire” accurately or not. Organizations will be risk adverse and only hire the most boring white dude they can find from central casting. Whatever you want to say about diversity initiatives this will be a pretty terrible outcome.

The whole "pale, male and stale" narrative is antiwhite racism. I don't think people should perpetuate it.

White men hold almost all the power in America. I can't reconcile this fact with the idea that there is some conspiracy against white men. Can you provide some more context on what you mean?

Nobody alleged a conspiracy.

The claim is simple: using words to mock a group, hurts that group.

This is still true when the group is one that you consider to "hold almost all the power".

Holding power is irrelevant to the harm caused by actions like insulting people or discriminating against them.
