Reminder that "anti-DEI" isn't about upholding meritocracy but about upholding the status quo.

My country Hungary started to villainify "DEI"-like practices from 2010, primarily to combat "anti-white racism". Since it came from the far-right, the other parts also came with it, especially the infamous yearly retesting of people on disability benefits, because failed game dev turned far-right blogger Tamás "Tomcat" Polgár wrote about "Roma drug dealers pretending to be amputees and Rtrded to get money for Mercedeses" (at some point it turned out almost all of them belonged to old rich people like lawyers).

At least one place I applied as a Java deveoper for thought I was not up for the job because my autism, because Forrest Gump and Chris-chan memes. However, according to my brother, they hired at least 3 really bad Javascript developers they had to eventually get rid of, all because they "looked competent enough". They also got an easier time on the interviews.
