Alan, a Baby Boomer and a veteran, watched in disgust as tasks were transferred to white men (without raises or promotions) because the DEI hires, who could not be demoted or fired, were not capable of handling them. AND the rules! Only straight able-bodied white men had to follow HR’s rules.

Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #77: "White Privilege" Died When Merit-Hiring Was Outlawed
