    I am not an American, so I may have misunderstood the purpose of D.E.I. policies,

    But one thing I haven’t misunderstood is the fact that motivation/interest in a subject is far more important in a subject than most physical/mental qualities.

    With the proper motivation and drive, just about anyone can push themselves much further than a person with excellent physical and mental qualities but only a limited interest/drive.

    Removing D.E.I. policies indirectly means lowering the performance of a group as you may loose the most motivated members of the group.

    D.E.I. Policies also has other benefits, people with different views and abilities sometimes see new solutions that never occurred to others.

      No, you understand DEI perfectly. But, to make a long story short, a fundamental principle of fascism is that the in-group is axiomatically superior to the out-group.
