Robby Starbuck received a “copy of the State Department’s new DEI Accomplishments list” and whew boy, it’s worse than anyone thought.
Critics of DEI have long asked what the results of the controversial policies are, as it is difficult to point to any single accomplishment brought about by discrimination. Starbuck finally has an answer to that burning question, and it looks an awful lot like a spectacular waste of money.
Look:
I just received a copy of the State Department’s new DEI Accomplishments list.
Want to know what @StateDeptDEIA has been doing with your money? Here’s a small sample of what I found in the 24 page document:
• They commemorated “Black Conciousness Month through LGBTQ+ culture”… pic.twitter.com/YJuxaK93hK

A small glimpse into the “accomplishments” should come with a blood pressure warning.
• They commemorated “Black Conciousness Month through LGBTQ+ culture”
• They created “best practices” to promote “preferred” pronoun usage
• They Launched an “all ages” DEI Library in Cambodia
• Made DEI part of ALL civil service performance evaluations “so that advancing DEIA became the responsibility of all civil and foreign service employees”
• Lots of training on “allyship”
• You paid for the career development of women in Gambia
• Inclusive language training in Panama, especially with regards to LGBTQ+ Panamanians
• DEI workshops in Belgrade • A DEI Hall of Fame in New Delhi
• Changed the name of the foreign services “oral assessment” to the “officer assessment” because the term oral assessment may have excluded non-verbal people
• Created a DEI Award
• State admits to focusing recruitment efforts for paid internships on “minority-serving institutions” and “women’s colleges” (This would seem to violate civil rights laws and discriminate toward White men) • Created new racial equity frameworks for how the State Department works overseas
• Created and distributed trainings on how to interact with non-binary identifying people and on “colorism”
• Gave US citizens the option to put X on their passport instead of male or female
• They launched DEI Mentorship programs
• Created new guidances for transgender people so that they can use whatever bathroom or facilities they want and so other employees would be forced to call them by their made up gender
If this doesn’t prove that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is necessary, what does?
SOcial media users on X weighed in on the seemingly wasteful spending:
So you’re telling me the DEI office basically wasted a boatload of our money.

Absolutely insane. What if they channeled all these efforts into ACTUALLY helping the American People???

DEI is a disease that cannot be treated. The only way to rid ourselves of this illness for good is to wholly reject every aspect.
Anyone promoting and developing DEI programs should be fired. Any NGOs or universities involved should lose federal funding.

DEI “accomplishments” are not actual milestones because they were not earned in a competitive field
The entire federal bureaucracy needs to be purged of wokeness so that merit is the foundation of Washington DC
Fighting the deep state means empowering the private sector!

The more we find out, the angrier I get. I just imagine how great our country would be if they had been investing in our country and citizens all of these years instead. This has been going on our whole lives.
