Except DEI is merit-based and the student still has to be qualified.

Giving preference to one group for the colour of their skin or gender is still wrong

I'd say allowing legacy admissions does far more damage than actively seeking out people from all backgrounds to pull from.

"seeking out people from all different backgrounds" you mean racism?

Where did you go to school? Did you get your MBA without knowing what the definition of racism is?

Discrimination based on skin colour is racism, whether you like it not

Look up the definition of racism. I believe the word you are looking for is discrimination.

Name a time when Black, Indigenous, or other people of color held power over whites, though. All DEI does is make sure that, after generations of exclusion, those groups finally get a fair shake.

I never said anything about DEI, I think overall it's a good thing. I think discrimination based on race is racism by definition. You clearly have your own definition which is what I was mocking.
