Restoring a meritocracy by re-allowing discrimination across federal departments, organizations, and contractors?

For some political groups (that have now united under POTUS and his party), complaints about the allegedly anti-meritocratic nature of DEI (and before it affirmative action) were always just a smokescreen for the real problem: the advancement of non-white, non-Christian minorities in domains that previously excluded them and exploited them.

In this respect, the sum effect of the executive orders and actions from the past week is to stifle meritocracy in America, not restore it.
