    Oh wow, NYT. That’s a super deep insight. Nobody else picked up that maybe, just maybe, 47 was a teensy bit racist.

      No, it just surfaced now and the NYT discovered it. Before now no one saw that attacks on DEI were just thinly disguised racism. Conservatives would never use a three letter acronym as a substitute for racism.

      Such investigative journalism. Wow.
