What nonsense? Look it up in a thesaurus.

Yes, people want skilled professionals. Who says they shouldn't? They should also care about a system that favors a dominant class largely because of historic access to (stolen) capital. After all, that would reduce competition and competency.

What's being implied by bringing up "merit" as antithetical to DEI is that you can't trust people outside of the dominant class to do the work competently. If that were the case, the problem is not DEI, it's upstream: fair access to education and opportunities, but I don't hear DEI opponents crying about that.

Reminder that "merit" is a synonym for "supremacy"

It shouldn't be. Unfortunately, afaik, no lawsuits have been settled yet. Seems like Anderson v. Stability Ai is the one to watch with regard to OP.
