You do realize that by labeling him a "DEI mayor," they're specifically making it about race, right? They're saying he only got the job because of his race, as a "diversity hire." And they're doing this when his race has nothing to do with the situation. In fact, in this particular case, the mayor, no matter who he or she is has nothing to do with the situation.
So yeah, bringing up race for no reason - and in a derogatory fashion no less - would make the perpetrator, dare I say... Racist.
If you don't think it does, I'd be very interested to hear where you draw the line where something becomes racism. Maybe provide examples of things that are and aren't racist to enlighten us.
Okay, so let's say he was elected on his merits and was fully qualified. Would calling him a diversity hire then be racist?
We have a word for when people share misinformed opinions of people based upon the way they look, you know
And one of them that fits perfectly for this situation is 'racist.'
Ah but they are informed and are being willfully ignorant and antagonistic.
