> It seems like a number of the "DEI is anti-merit discrimination" messages in this thread are overlooking how DEI work usually works.

It has two sides, one promoting, and one denying. Based on race. DEI activists are always talking about the first. How great it is. And never talks about second, to not to ruin the rosy picture. Just recently I visited a hospital in mostly white area. Inside it looked like african consulate. There are still DEI stickers on the wals. What they did they denied jobs to all white applicants.

Looks like Python foundation decided to promote exactly this. Well, you will not get a penny from me till you change the course.

Mostly white probably means rural. These are undesirable hospital jobs. There are incentives for doctors to work in underserved areas, like rural hospitals, and those incentives are disproportionately used by J1s.

I'd like to point out that this commenter assumed these doctors did not earn their positions purely based on skin color. I don't see how this is functionally different than classic racism. "DEI" complaints often seem to fit this fact pattern. In particular, I've never heard a white man described as a DEI hire.
