Carlson stressed that the future of the US depends on merit-based systems and warned of potential violence if the ideology persists. He attributed the ideology’s spread to “white guilt and self-hatred” and condemned it as immoral, akin to Jim Crow and the Nuremberg laws.
Immutable characteristics

“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,” Carlson said.
Pluralistic society

“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,” he added. “And also, by the way, we’re going to get to violence really soon if this stuff continues,” he said.
Throughout history

“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 said.
Jim Crow and the Nuremberg laws

“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,” Carlson added.
Respect for all

The principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have emerged as essential pillars of organizational success, social progress, and collective well-being.
