of reducing the individual to a meaningless piece of a demographic group that is either favored or deemed to be a problem. The death of individual liberty is always framed in something; today it is this nonsense of DEI but there is always a desire to control the human being by those who "know" better.
Always reject anything that puts the individual in a box of some identity group; it is meant to control you, not uplift anything but the people actually in control.

Great passage below from the article.
But “DEI” is not about the words it uses as camouflage. DEI is about arrogating power.
And the movement that is gathering all this power does not like America or liberalism. It does not believe that America is a good country—at least no better than China or Iran. It calls itself progressive, but it does not believe in progress; it is explicitly anti-growth. It claims to promote “equity,” but its answer to the challenge of teaching math or reading to disadvantaged children is to eliminate math and reading tests. It demonizes hard work, merit, family, and the dignity of the individual.
