I am seeing many posts about Charlie Kirk being racist. I also note that there are references to his stance on DEI.

I am interested, is this racist nowadays?

He and others made out that it meant dragging random black, queer, trans, women etc off the streets to steal white mens jobs when actually it’s about thinking about equally qualified people and if one is over represented and shifting the power dynamics a bit. There’s female MPs that run whole programmes for women to give them the skills to campaign and become MPs/ get into politics.

Yes, Charlie Kirk was racist on the subject of DEI.

His mislead people into believing that DEI is about hiring unqualified ethnic minorities, when really it’s about mentoring and professional development for ethnic minorities, to give them some semblance of a playing field with white people.
