You are lying because that is not what it means at all.
Since you wanna be technical.
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a framework focused on creating environments that are inclusive of all individuals, regardless of their background or identity. It aims to promote fairness, ensure equal opportunities, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone.
Which originally, this is perfectly fine, but what is happening as a democratic focus is throwing individuals who do not have the proper qualifications into roles strictly based on their background or identity. Which is promoting money being wasted with no actual gain.
The moment a president says I just wanna throw black people into this because they are black and nothing further we have a problem. (Which is what DEI has turned into and is now redefined as didn't earn it)
So no, I'm not lying, this is just what the democratic party has turned it into. Just because you hold a high score on surgeon simulator, doesn't qualify you to be a surgeon in a hospital.
Again, background and identity aside, if you have the proper skills and qualifications for a position, you should earn that position and excel in that role. The moment a business throws out the interview and reference procedure, you will not succeed.
