Framing DEI skepticism as an inability to work with minority or protected groups makes me think you don’t understand the position well.

Framing some of the extreme views of DEI as DEI skepticism makes me think you don’t understand the extent of radicalization that young unemployed people are going through.

I think you may be imagining a disruptive person who can’t work with others, and then associating it with a political position.
