DEI and their opposites

It’s one thing for politicians and their supporters to rant about “political correctness run amok” and “transgender” and “wokeness.” It’d be another if they were asked to own the values that underwrite their own discourse.

I would like, just once, or repeatedly, really, to hear a reporter say something like the following to the current occupant of the White House or one of his acolytes:

The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. Doesn’t the course of American history, from emancipation to women’s suffrage to the civil rights movement to the women’s rights movement to the gay rights movement, show a greater and greater, though far from perfect, movement toward increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion? Why do you support uniformity, inequity, and exclusion, and not their opposites?

Has any reporter ever asked such questions? Is any reporter likely to? These last two are only rhetorical questions.
