I am now one step closer to completely scamming the system as a DEI consultant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it isn\u2019t entirely clear that you need a major in DEI at all to make money off that grift. You just need to understand that so long as you are pushing anti-white measures in whatever company, organization, or non-profit you are working for, then you are advancing DEI.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you copy companies such as Google and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/googles-anti-white-image-equity-fellowship-announces-winners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start a fellowship that\u2019s only available to minorities<\/a>, white people excluded, then you\u2019re increasing diversity. If you\u2019re firing people based on whether or not they are part of an \u201cunderrepresented population,\u201d such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/minneapolis-public-schools-defend-anti-white-firing-practices-that-put-critical-race-theory-into-practice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minneapolis school district does<\/a>, then you\u2019re pushing equity. If you\u2019re asking white people to leave a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/viral-video-university-student-in-multicultural-center-says-whites-should-leave-too-many-white-people-in-here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designated multicultural safe space at the University of Virginia<\/a> because their presence makes some people feel excluded, then you\u2019ve fostered inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>At the risk of offending Paleolithic feminists \u2014 it\u2019s so easy, a caveman could do it.<\/p>\n<p>There is decent money to be made in a DEI career. We know the Biden administration is intent on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-army-secretary-were-not-woke-we-just-have-diversity-equity-and-inclusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forcing it into every aspect of the federal government<\/a>, so if you get a DEI degree, chances are you can get a cushy government job.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you learn how really work the system in the name of DEI, you could wind up as a chief diversity officer at any woke corporation. Those folks make quite a pretty penny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe average Chief Diversity Officer salary in the United States is $227,900\u00a0as of September 26, 2022, but the range typically falls between\u00a0$196,200\u00a0and\u00a0$275,700,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salary.com\/research\/salary\/alternate\/chief-diversity-officer-salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">salary.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in the article, some people might be wondering what the Three Stooges featured in the cover photo have to do with any of this.<\/p>\n<p>There are three reasons:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> the Three Stooges are just hilarious and a true American classic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> The math equation on the chalkboard, \u201c2+2=3\u201d sounds like it could come from a DEI major. After all, a 2021 report revealed that a California school curriculum was teaching that it is racist to correct math mistakes. In woke math, the answer isn\u2019t objective. That instruction came from a document titled, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/california-leftists-try-to-cancel-math-class-11621355858?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction: Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> The story is reminiscent of the Three Stooges episode titled, \u201c<a title=\"Violent Is the Word for Curly\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Violent_Is_the_Word_for_Curly\">Violent Is the Word for Curly<\/a>.\u201d The short film features the classic song, \u201cSwinging the Alphabet.\u201d In the episode, Larry, Moe, and Curly somehow convince a prestigious school that they are three esteemed professors. Of course, they are a bunch of knuckleheads. Instead of actual education, they teach their class how to \u201cswing the alphabet\u201d with a nonsensical song.<\/p>\n<p>The DEI major is, of course, equally silly to any lesson plan taught by the Stooges. Regardless, if you swing the D-E-I alphabet, you\u2019ll note you get D-I-E.<\/p>\n<p>This comparison might be in violation of Orwell\u2019s aforementioned dying metaphor rule, but we could all use a laugh in this crazy, woke-filled, DEI major populated world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwinging the Alphabet\u201d can be seen here:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In \u201cPolitics &#038; The English Language,\u201d George Orwell warns writers to avoid using dying metaphors that have lost \u201call evocative power.\u201d For example, making fun of hippie liberals for getting a \u201cdegree in underwater basketweaving\u201d is now a bit outdated.
