instead of looking closely at funded projects,
they pulled short summaries off the internet and
fed them into the A.I. chatbot.
The prompt was simple: "Does the following relate at
all to D.E.I.? Respond factually in less than
120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’"
The results were sweeping, and sometimes bizarre.

Reading through the examples they don’t seem “bizarre” in that the people I’ve met who claim to hate wokeness would have agreed with all of these being examples of DEI.
They really want to get rid of everything beyond what they consider the default human experience although getting them to agree on that would go about as well as getting them agree on the right kind of Christian.

The term they've been using for the "right" kind of person is "Heritage American", allegedly meaning people whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That apparently does not include people whose ancestors came to the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge.
I would not be surprised if the "right" kind of Christian ends up being the one that believes the Prosperity Gospel.

There is no "right" kind. If you asked them to confirm the "right" kind theyd fall to infighting. That was the analogy I was comparing to with the "default human experience"

Agreed, if you talk to members of a random sect then other sects range from explicitly heretical* to simply historically‡ or structurally wrong. And that's not including the political views of various sects§.

Whenever you think this hole Trump fever dream cannot get even more absurd and abyssal something like this appears.
