The comment above says "uplifting" could you not counter some wrongs by doing some rights?

  No I understood the framing. But if you privilege all groups except one, you're not uplifting but discriminating.

    Are you just talking hypothetically about an abstract harm that might occur in an imaginary world or do you think that's what DEI is?

        I think that there were and are a lot of different DEI programs with lots of different targets and goals and that the people who were not "uplifted", either by any single specific program, or all of them in aggregate, do not make up a coherent identifiable group.

      Being in academia, I'm facing it almost every single day.

        You're not able to publish cutting edge research in an era where you have LLMs and Arxiv? Academia seems more open and competitive today than ever before, with more weight and influence given to more universities around the world

    Basically all competitive sports in the US work like this If you win the championship, you get the worst draft picks for next season Do you believe they discriminate against winning teams and reduced the quality of the sport? The Yankees definitely complained a lot about it
