Stewart Complains DEI Won’t ‘Dismantle Systemic Oppression’

March 28, 2023

Sunday on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, comedian Jon Stewart claimed that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs are only a “salve” to avoid tackling “the vestiges” of systemic racism.

The comedian criticized efforts to demean Critical Race Theory (CRT) and DEI but added that those programs themselves are inefficient to tackle real cultural issues.

Stewart said, “The diversity and equity initiatives are a salve. They are to pacify and mollify because we won’t actually do the real thing. We won’t actually dismantle the vestiges of all the systemic racism and all this systemic classism and all the systemic gender issues. We won’t actually dismantle that. But what we will do is you can have an office in the building. And every few months we’re going to have to sit and listen to you talk for like an hour. And so we’re good, right?”

Despite his criticism of DEI programs, Steward repeatedly attacked Republicans such as Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for pushing legislature against them. He then went on to rant incoherently about Republicans being “out of governing ideas” and creating a “purposeful distortion field” instead.

Speaking of being out of ideas, Stewart had no suggestions about how to “dismantle the vestiges of all the systemic racism and all this systemic classism and all the systemic gender issues.”

That’s because there is no “systemic” racism, classism, or sexism in America, unless you count the Marxist Left’s push for gender indoctrination, racial equity, and class warfare.
