(Natural News)—In a 2021 interview with Robin DiAngelo, former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan of the “Mehdi Hasan Show” stated that companies spent an astounding $8 billion in 2020 alone on “diversity and inclusion” (DEI) programs that discriminate against white people while propping up non-whites.
The resurfaced clip, which is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) – you can also watch it below – comes at a pertinent time when DEI is getting slammed in popular culture as a sham.
NBC reports, US companies spent $8 billion dollars on DEI programs in 2020.

The episode of the Mehdi Hasan Show from which the above clip was taken was called “Why White Progressives are Part of the Problem.” It called out DEI, critical race theory (CRT), and other anti-white trends that have emerged in recent years to denigrate and minimize whites throughout American society.

Anti-white racism is trendy
In the interview, Hasan asked DiAngelo about her book, called “Nice Racism,” and what it has to do with corporations spending money on DEI and anti-white race workshops. What Hasan wanted to know is whether or not all that spending actually works towards company goals, allowing them to play “racism get out of jail free” cards.
“Well, I don’t think it does work if it’s not sustained and consistent,” DiAngelo responded. “So, if it’s a one-time thing – a check the box kind of approach – it’s not going to keep going. It has to be sustained.”
“I really would have us question why we think there would be a simple answer or solution. We can take this workshop – or we should be able to take this workshop – and figure out something as perennially complex and deep and enduring and highly adaptive as racism.”
The latest iterations of alleged racism are now being called things like “voter suppression” and “laws enacted that say you can’t acknowledge that racism exists,” as well as efforts to “teach the history of the civil rights movement.”
This ever-moving target known as “racism” has to constantly be addressed by racial training, otherwise the average person would miss it. In other words, “racism” as it is currently defined in popular culture does not exist – unless, of course, we are talking about anti-white racism, which is being institutionalized at the corporate and academic level across America.
DiAngelo endorses what are known as “affinity groups” that she says are an advanced technique used in DEI training. In short, affinity groups are groups of people who are separated by race because there “are aspects” of DEI reprogramming that require people of different races to be taught “separately.”
The people who are hired to lead DEI brainwashing programs typically make a lot of money – upwards of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars annually goes to each and every DEI leader.
The Chief Diversity officer and related support staff at the University of Florida, for instance, are paid a whopping $750,000 a year. The University of Central Florida‘s Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as well as the president’s assistant, together boast a combined salary of $445,000 per year.
MEMO: All state university & college systems in Florida have been required to report expenditures and resources utilized for campus activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion and critical race theory. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/E4Z4zLuJgC
