DEI Advances Unqualified Black Women
False Assumption: DEI programs legitimately provide jobs and promotions to qualified women and minorities, especially black women, as a top priority to combat discrimination.
Written by FARAgent on February 11, 2026
A few years ago, the Establishment treated hiring black women into jobs they were not qualified for as its highest priority. DEI became a key mechanism for this, filling federal agencies with staffers focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Promoters published endless documentation revealing their own racist and sexist hostility toward whites, men, and straights.
DEI turned into a racket offering sinecures and unearned promotions, mostly to black women. This created hostile work environments backed by legal claims of discrimination. The grift wore out its welcome quickly, leading to predictions of collapse in organizations like Twitter without DEI roles, though cuts succeeded with competent insiders.
Today, Trump and Musk dismantle DEI with little media resistance, holding the moral high ground that racism is wrong regardless of who practices it. The administration declares DEI a hostile environment for non-favored groups. Few outside DEI payrolls lament its end, despite its disparate impact on minority women who benefited most.
People Involved
- In the midst of DEI's prominence, Elon Musk took over Twitter and moved against it. He cut staff sharply, including DEI positions, and the platform held up. [1]
- Ben San Souci, a Twitter engineer, helped by pointing out what could go. He identified the dead weight, and the cuts worked without the predicted crash. [1] Growing evidence suggests these actions highlighted flaws in the assumption that DEI advanced only qualified hires, though the debate continues.

Organizations Involved
Federal agencies played a central role in upholding DEI. They filled positions with staff who held sinecures, often black women, gaining from jobs they did not earn. [1] These institutions profited through unmerited promotions, sustaining the practice until scrutiny mounted. [1] Increasingly, this is seen as flawed, with evidence pointing to priorities beyond merit, but consensus is not yet full.

“DEI is, more than anything else, a Jobs for the Boys racket, or, to be more precise, a Jobs for the Black Girls racket. Eliminating DEI will have disparate impact on the women and minorities, and especially minority women who got sinecures and promotions.”— DEI Ends: Women, Minorities Hit Hardest
The Foundation
DEI gained traction as a tool against discrimination. It rested on promoters' admissions of bias against whites, men, and straights, which fueled reverse discrimination. [1] The idea seemed solid as an equity measure, but it misled by favoring unqualified hires, especially black women, over competence. [1] Growing evidence suggests this foundation was shaky, increasingly recognized as prioritizing identity over qualifications, though not all agree.

How It Spread
The Establishment pushed DEI hard through hiring rules in institutions. It became a key focus until it lost favor. [1] Media had promoted it earlier but downplayed its decline, highlighting unrelated failures instead. They offered scant pushback to the cuts. [1] This spread sustained the assumption for years, but emerging views see it as overreach, with debate ongoing about its true effects.

Resulting Policies
Federal policies under DEI created jobs based on race and sex. They prioritized black women, often ignoring qualifications. [1] These rules led to promotions that bypassed merit, embedding the practice in government operations. [1] Growing evidence indicates these policies advanced unqualified individuals, a flaw increasingly noted, though the issue remains unsettled.

Harm Caused
DEI placed unfit staff in vital spots. Agencies like the National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages nuclear weapons, risked errors from this. [1] It also wasted resources on idle workers and bred hostility, while ambitious DEI staff threatened more. [1] Evidence is mounting that these harms stemmed from the assumption's errors, increasingly seen as problematic, but not universally accepted.

“Few seem worried that Trump and Musk might fire the good DEI workers because a lazy, ineffectual federal DEI staffer is less bad for the country than a hard-driving one.”— DEI Ends: Women, Minorities Hit Hardest
Downfall
Trump's team declared DEI discriminatory, calling it hostile to whites, men, and straights. This met little fight and exposed its core issues. [1] Promoters exhausted their support quickly, so few mourned its end beyond those who benefited. [1] These events unraveled the assumption, with growing recognition of its flaws, though the consensus is still forming.
