In recent years, there has been much debate over DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies and their destructive consequences. However, the truth is, this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time.
During a Congressional testimony several years ago, comedian Adam Carolla shared a shocking story from his own personal experience. He applied to become a firefighter in Los Angeles, a job that is known for its heroic efforts and selfless service. However, he was told that as a white male, he would have to wait years just to take the test.

This is a clear example of how DEI policies are damaging and counterproductive. Communities in California are facing devastating wildfires, yet the very policies that were put in place to promote diversity and fairness are the ones hindering the hiring of qualified individuals for these crucial roles.
Carolla recounted his experience, saying, “Geez, I want to talk about my white privilege so badly. I graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA and couldn’t find a job. I walked to a fire station and asked for a job, but was told I couldn’t have one because I wasn’t black, Hispanic, or a woman. They told me to come back in 7 years.”
California is on fire because of DEI@adamcarolla applied to be a fireman in LA and was told to wait 7 years to test because he’s white
7 years later when he took the test he asked a black women there how long she waited to test. She responded “Wednesday” (less than a week) pic.twitter.com/PZkDyLkHsG

He continued, “I had a young woman of color standing behind me in line, and I asked her when she signed up to become a firefighter. She said, ‘Wednesday.’ That is an example of my white privilege.”
It’s absurd to think that politics would take priority over creating the most efficient and effective firefighting force. Yet, this is exactly what is happening in Los Angeles.
The liberal media often pushes the narrative of “systemic racism” and the need for diversity and inclusivity. But the reality is, these very policies are the root cause of the problems we face today. Carolla’s story is just one of many examples of how these policies are not only discriminatory but also detrimental to society.
DEI ruins every agency and institution it touches.

Enough is enough. It’s time for the truth to come to light and for these destructive policies to be replaced with fair and merit-based hiring practices. We cannot continue to let the liberal agenda ruin our communities and endanger our lives.
Is it too late to stop this DEI BS?????
