There has been a lot of criticism of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies recently but this has been going on for years.
Several years ago, comedian Adam Carolla told a story under testimony that he once applied to become a firefighter in Los Angeles but was told he would have to wait years to even take the test because he is a white male.
This is a perfect example of how these policies are destructive. These areas in California are complaining that they don’t have enough firefighters.
