EXCLUSIVE: Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and author of The Unprotected Class, made clear that the legacy media is a willing partner of groups and governments pushing racially and discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
During an exclusive interview with MRC Business, Carl blasted what he described as the “regime media” for collaborating with DEI proponents and shutting out any discussion of the discriminatory nature of such initiatives.
Carl made clear that he doesn’t distinguish between the media and their governmental and grant-making allies because the media is “fully part of the regime.” He also emphasized the connection between activist groups and the government: “If they're not directly funded by the government, they're funded by very wealthy beneficiaries of the regime.”
Carl explained that he does not expect the media to listen, but hopes to spread awareness of the reality and significance of anti-white racial discrimination among conservatives. He said that the media and the left will keep pushing DEI until “there's enough of a counter force that hits back at them and it becomes politically painful to–continue to push these types of lies.”
He stated that he wrote The Unprotected Class in hopes that “we could develop that type of a counterforce on the right if we educate our own side, at least about what the stakes are."
The book, published earlier this year, explores anti-white racial discrimination across modern society, including law, business, Big Tech, media coverage and education.
When asked whether the book led to any interviews or expert appearances on CNN, MSNBC or the Big Three networks, Carl laughed before explaining that the media has no interest in fair coverage.
“This is not really a conversation they want to have. I’ve gotten a few snipes of outrage from the regime media on the left. But for the most part, I think their strategy has been to ignore the book,” he said.
The Claremont fellow also responded to the media pushing debunked studies by management consultancy firm McKinsey & Company promoting DEI as good for business. Carl said that the media would not stop pushing DEI “unless their incentives change.”
Carl also answered questions about alleged racial discrimination at the Walt Disney Corporation and heinous admissions of racial and political discrimination by the CEO of IBM Arvind Krishna and Matt Hicks, who leads Red Hat, an IBM subsidiary. Krishna confessed to tying compensation to racial discrimination in hiring, while Hicks noted that DEI opponents no longer worked for Red Hat. At Disney, alleged internal documents mandated hiring based on race and gender. Also, a Disney executive would tell an undercover journalist that there was not only racial discrimination at Disney but that this discrimination had impacted his career.
The Unprotected Class author blasted the discrimination Disney is accused of as “facially illegal” and predicted court victories for many victims of DEI discrimination. However, Carl warned that racists might simply discriminate more subtly to avoid legal trouble.
After praising Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) for leading the fight on discrimination by suing IBM, Carl explained that a few legal wins will make DEI a “political football” in the corporate world and provide non-ideological employees reasons and excuses to challenge it.
“And now the people who really don't kind of want to discriminate have an excuse. They can go and–they go to their board, the CEO, and say, ‘Hey, you know, we'd like to do this DEI thing, but my legal team is telling me that we're going to do this and look how Missouri successfully sued so-and-so or–whatever state sued so-and-so or whatever NGOs sued so and so.’”
Carl added, “I think it will allow people who would like to be good actors here to feel the freedom to be good actors, because now we have pressure coming from our direction, not just the left. So I don't see it as a panacea, but I do see it as something where we can actually move the ball forward.”
