    They’re actually playing a reverse card here and it’s sorta brilliant and stupid at the same time. A lot of these lawsuits are claiming the DEI policies are illegal because they are promoting certain groups over others.

    There are a number of cases popping up like this and it’s probably an attempt to get it in front of the Supreme Court to kill protected classes or something - https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-sues-starbucks-over-dei-231002340.html

      But this guy is in charge of the FCC, is he making the argument that they are breaking some broadcasting regulation by allowing non-white men in the media? If not, then he needs to look to another organization to make that case for him as staffing is not in his organization’s purview.

      And I understand what he is trying to do, it’s the exact same racist argument they used to have the Supreme Court rollback affirmative action. It’s all white supremacist arguments, just no “white genocide” in writing, just implied.
