former Facebook diversity program manager pleaded guilty to scamming the social media giant out of more than $4 million through a scheme in which she faked business deals in exchange for kickbacks, the Justice Department said.

So you still don’t get the point. Sure, this person scammed fb. The fact that they were the diversity program manager is irrelevant and not the cause for lack of morals and ethics. You’re conflating two separate issues and saying that anyone who supports DEI will steal your wife.

You can be an honest person, and that’s good. You can be honest and support DEI. That makes you a better person.

I never an issue with working with fellow workers... I have an issue with a grifter being hired to tell me "mission accomplished" now back to slaving peasant!

People who need this shit are old and in charge, they should sit through this stupid shit if they so desire.
