In early January, controversial far-right political commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson went on another rant against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. He compared DEI to racist legislation and predicted it might lead to violence if not stopped.
Carlson compared DEI initiatives to infamous racist laws, like Jim Crow and the Nuremberg laws. “It’s totally immoral,” he argued. “It’s grotesque.”
“The idea that certain people on the basis of immutable characteristics get certain privileges,” he continued, “and other people are hurt on the basis of their immutable characteristics, like, that’s totally incompatible with America.”
“It’s gotta be a colorblind meritocracy,” Carlson claimed, “or it can’t keep going because it’s a pluralistic society. There’s no majority of anything that has anything in common.”

Carlson’s comments about DEI might not seem racist on the surface. As Confessore explained, the NYT analysis revealed that Carlson frequently uses “code” words and phrases: messaging carefully designed to be fully understood only by his target audience.
