You genuinely believe that's the endgame? White people being segregated. Fancy Colored washrooms and For whites only outhouses?



No. The endgame of most people who are pro-DEI is to smash or dismantle structures of oppression. The more ideological fraction views every matter of public policy through that lens. Too much crime? Let's not get hung up on dis-incentivizing crime or separating chronic criminals from society, particularly if doing so would harm an oppressed group. The proper response to crime is to dismantle the structures of oppression, after which the crime problem will probably take care of itself because people are basically good. If some group is committing a lot of crimes, it is probably a reaction to having been oppressed. Or so the ideologues believe. Dismantling oppression is also the best long-term solution to every other social problem, and probably the only lasting or sustainable solution.


I’m talking about social structures, not policies. The endgame is to develop social structures where non-whites, and especially black people, have moral superiority while whites have moral culpability. These social and moral norms are already developing: https://www.aol.com/news/james-carville-calls-ilhan-omar-135....

The risk is not to the material interests of white people—they have a plurality of the population so you won’t get a situation like South Africa. Instead, you’ll get a breakdown of racial egalitarianism. Half the country will feel comfortable being openly racist against whites—and each other—even if they don’t have the votes to act on that animus. Meanwhile, most whites raised in that environment—the ones who don’t have economic privilege to fall back on—will develop a racial animosity we haven’t seen since the 1950s. The result will be ethnic conflict that cripples our ability to do anything (just as in virtually all multi-ethnic societies).

What can possibly go wrong when a portion of the population feels segregated?

I wonder if it will make them adopt a victimization stance and band together around those that promise to end it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Not only promising to end it, but gaining their trust by giving them facts that collapse the official narrative. The midwestern kid who are growing up hearing "slavery built America"--someone is going to tell him that his ancestors were German indentured servants who cultivated cold, harsh land themselves and whose only involvement with slavery was fighting and dying to end it.
