Well, you've heard the words diversity, equity, and inclusion over and over.

0:04.5

DEI, you hear it from the White House.

0:06.5

You hear it from your corporation.

0:08.0

You hear it from the media.

0:09.7

And this standard, diversity, equity, and inclusion, according to Joe Biden's White House,

0:13.3

has been infused in every aspect of American government.

1:11.8

differ in their genetics. They differ in their environments. They differ in their culture that all

1:16.4

individuals are different. And that means that when you take a look at group averages,

1:20.0

there are very few examples, actually, across all of humanity in which group averages are

1:24.9

completely identical. But we have to ignore that in favor of this DEI proposition.
