Jon Stewart Complains DEI Won’t ‘Actually Dismantle Systemic Oppression’

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.

In a May 2016 interview with David Axelrod, Stewart said the following about conservatives: “As far as I can tell, the conservative side, or the right side, they feel an ownership over America. They are the stewards of America. They are its forbears — exactly. Republicans, conservatives love America. They just hate, like, 50 percent of the people living in it.” Moreover, he claimed that their “nativism” had caused them to support presidential candidate Donald Trump, who, by Stewart’s telling, was preaching that Muslims “[are] evil and shouldn’t be allowed in this country.” Regarding Trump’s pledge to “make America great again, Stewart said: “When was America great? What is this time that he speaks of? ‘81 to ‘82? Like, what are we talking about? And who took your country away from you?… Who’s country is it? Take up the argument with the Founders. Take it up with the Age of Reason. That’s — All men are created equal. That’s fucked the whole thing up.”
