    But what does “discriminatory equity ideology” actually mean? The order defines it as “ideology that treats individuals as members of preferred or disfavored groups, rather than as individuals, and minimizes agency, merit, and capability in favor of immoral generalizations.”

    Oh for fucks sake. That literally describes how racism, sexism, and bigotry work: by treating people as part of a preferred or disfavored group instead of individuals.

      In reality it means anything that challenges white cishet male supremacy. But they’ll couch it in the doublespeak of meritocracy.

        I think it’s closer to “whatever they want it to mean so they can persecute their enemies”
