President Donald Trump just turned off the diversity hiring spigot in Colorado’s public colleges—and the outrage machine fired right up. The Denver Post coated itself in righteous indignation while quoting everyone from nonprofit execs to foundation grantees who are just shocked that their race-based funding pyramid might be crumbling.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Surprise! Trump ends taxpayer-funded DEI idiocy in Colorado colleges. Merit almost matters again.
- Sachs Foundation’s gripe? No more race-based handouts at CU–Colorado Springs. Sorry not sorry.
- A college student studying nutrition subsidies in Guatemala is mad his skin color won’t get him free money. Bless his heart.
- DEI isn’t about equality; it’s about quotas wrapped in woke marketing bullshit—and now the gravy train hit a red light.
My Bottom Line
If you need tax dollars and racial preferences to succeed, you’re not ready for real life. Merit works—motives based on skin color don’t. Every scholarship or hiring slot taken by race instead of skill is an insult to everyone who’s busted their butt to earn a seat at the table.
And I mean no disrespect to this student—I’m sure he’s sharp as a tack—but when your big academic project involves studying whether fortified corn will help Guatemalan kids poop better… buddy, maybe we don’t need federal dollars funding that. America’s $34 trillion in debt because we’ve been lighting our money on fire under a wok full of feel-good nonsense. It’s not ‘compassionate’ if it’s bankrupting us for unicorn dreams and sociology dissertations that read like BuzzFeed opinion pieces.
You want equality? Start treating people equally—end of story. When you start categorizing humans like produce (this one’s organic BIPOC, that one’s standard white male), you’ve left justice behind and hopped into identity politics hell. And let’s face it: DEI didn’t level any playing fields—it just built a new corrupt system atop the old one—all powered by guilt-tripped bureaucrats shoveling cash into programs nobody asked for.
Look, we’ve all got struggles—mine includes dealing with bureaucratic clowns who think socialism is edgy—but success doesn’t come from being coddled by government or propped up by pity funds. It comes from working hard and delivering results that actually matter… like keeping your power grid running when there’s three feet of snow outside—not bitching about corn interventions in Central America.
So yeah—Trump pulling the plug on race-based giveaways? Good start. Pour one out for DEI. Let meritocracy rise from its shallow grave.
