If conservatives were discriminated against, all of this would be true.
But they aren't discriminating against conservatives for intellectual jobs. They're discriminating against idiots.
It just so happens, for whatever reason, that the upper echelon of intellectuals often reject the backwards and counterproductive conservative dogma in favor of rational policies based in reality.

BombOmOm@lemmy.worldThat's just what a woke gay muslim atheist commie would say!
You forgot TRaNs! Everything we don't like is TRaNS!!
Yep, which this is not DEI, for the reason you describe. DEI just means you need to ensure you aren't discriminating against certain segments of society. It doesn't mean you have to hire or accept equal percentages, only that you aren't dismissing some due to discriminatory factors.
Living up to your username there!
