Prominent conservative journalist and thought leader Tucker Carlson has spoken about the possible risks associated with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) worldview. He drew attention to how it rewards some groups based on innate characteristics, such as gender and ethnicity, while demonizing and punishing other groups. Carlson voiced fear that violence may break out if this mindset continues in its current form.
In an interview with Breaking Points presenter Saagar Enjeti, Carlson compared Jim Crow legislation to the emergence of DEI norms in employment, court cases, and economic consequences. “I mean, it’s grotesque. The idea that certain people on the basis of immutable characteristics get certain privileges and other people are hurt on the basis of their immutable characteristics, like that’s totally incompatible with America,” he said.

“It’s gotta be a colorblind meritocracy or it can’t keep going because it’s a pluralistic society. There’s no majority of anything that has anything in common,” The former host of Fox News continued.
Carlson stressed that the United States’ future depends on maintaining merit-based systems.
“And also, by the way, we’re going to get to violence really soon if this stuff continues,” he added. “If you tell people that this group or that group is bad because they’re in that group, because they look a certain way or because their parents looked a certain way, if you tell them that over time, that group’s going to get hurt. And we don’t need to guess about this. Well, actually, it happened in Europe not that long ago, but it’s happened throughout history.”
Carlson cited “white guilt and self-hatred” as the reasons behind the ideology’s growth, which picked up speed in the wake of the George Floyd riots in 2020. He acknowledged that white Americans are not the only group targeted by this philosophy and that he would be equally vocal if other communities were also being singled out for similar treatment.

“It’s totally immoral, it’s the thing we said we hated Jim Crow and the Nuremberg laws. I mean name it it’s like it’s the original sin of man attacking people on the basis of things that they can’t control they were they were born with.”
