On the surface, the Muldrow v. St. Louis decision looks fairly unremarkable. A female St. Louis police sergeant alleged she was transferred to a less prominent job assignment because of her gender. The trouble with her case was her pay and benefits stayed the same, and the city argued she wasn’t harmed. But the Court unanimously agreed that even “small harms” — if tangible — are enough to support a Title VII claim for employment discrimination.
The liberals and conservatives on the Court probably agreed on the case’s conclusion for different reasons.
What has some DEI activists now wringing their hands is that pro-equality conservative lawfare groups hope to use the new decision to push back on Constitutionally repugnant anti-white discrimination. Disadvantaged white employees might now challenge so-called ‘affirmative action’ programs if they advantage minorities over white employees in even minor ways.
Examples might include things like mentoring opportunities open only to minority employees, or a meet-and-greet with executives excluding white folks, both of which may now be actionable under Muldrow’s new “some harms” standard.
WW2 in europe was largely caused by the treaty of versaille. it so emasculated, impoverished, and humiliated the germans that basically nothing but "violent nationalism" could result. they, the biggest, strongest country in the area, were pushed past endurance by "outsiders" who forced it on them because the US was there to require it. but as soon as "dad" went back to north america, the germans and itialians and austrians rounded on the rest of europe and reminded them who were the productive, strong, capable folks around here while being eaten by some truly odious reactionary ideologies.
the rest, as they say, is history. fascism, genocide, and another war to end all wars right on the heels of the last one.
i’m a bit worried about a potentially impending parallel.
imagine what happens to woke and the DEI denizens when they lose the government. imagine the folks who have been marginalized and humiliated by these struggle sessions and forced to play these retarded reindeer games as they rise and reassert themselves.
because it’s coming. in fact, it’s well underway.

THIS is the explanation that was in the back of my head but I could never articulate!
We now know the right thing to say when the argument comes up:
"Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" is merely a justification for elevating the incompetent over the competent.
It has the force of irresistible truth, because it is the truth and they know it in their bones.
