Some people might say that Boebert herself is a DEI hire, but that is not true. Uneducated, hate-filled dullards are not considered diverse candidates.
You forgot the implication that black women couldn’t possibly be skilled or smart enough to be hired. Because they’re black. That’s the racist part. It’s devaluation stemming from racism.
It appears that Boebert has said that about a particular women person of colour, not all of them.
So I wouldn’t necessarily imply racism here. Common devaluation - sure.
Is that better?
P.S.
My first language is Russian, and we usually refer to a 3rd person by it’s gender. That’s why I defaulted with “woman” instead of more broad “person”.
Because one, LB has no idea of the qualifications or hiring process involved. And two, even if she did, believing the DEI is not a requirement to overcome racism in hiring is continuing to empowering racism. It’s still a big problem, whether it’s impacted you or not.

Jean-Pierre is also LGBT.
Cool? But DEI is used as a stand in for the n word, it’s entirely about her race.
I assure you DEI is used as more than the n word

It’s a devaluing act, yes, but how is it racist?
She’s saying she only got her job because she’s black, that’s racist as shit.

It’s devaluing, because Boebert named diversity as a reason to hire Karine, not her professional qualities.

you’re almost there… just explain what kind of diversity and you should arrive.
DEI is not racism (in theory). It’s a tool to fight one (in theory).
are you a bot? none of your comments seem to follow the one before
English isn’t my first language. Maybe that’s the case.
The original poster was saying that Lauren Boebert is racist for calling her a “DEI Hire”… not the concept of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”.
Let me guess, Russian is your first language.
