In the latest woke missive to hit the web a diversity chief at Johns Hopkins Medicine wrote to her staff in a “monthly diversity digest” email that stated a majority of the staff at the medical institution were “privileged.”

Dr. Sherita Hill Golden, chief diversity officer for the hospital system, wrote that “white people, Christians, men, heterosexuals” and English speakers are in the “privileged” category.

I believe Dr. Golden could have used an economy of words by labeling those as being unprivileged within Johns Hopkins.

Dr. Golden defined privilege as “a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific social group” that operates on “personal, interpersonal, cultural and institutional levels.”

She also later on in the missive provided even more inclusive privileged social groups, which included: white people, able-bodied people, heterosexuals, cisgender people, males, Christians, Middle or owning class people, and middle-aged people.

If everyone you interact with on a daily basis is privileged, then I venture that no one is privileged. Perhaps they are just simply decent human beings.

It appears to me that a chief DEI officer in an institution has the sole job to blow up that very institution. To call out every decision made on a daily basis, which is rooted in racism and is divisive to equality.

I would hope that chairpersons of the boards and CEOs take this into an account in the near future and come to the realization that DEI really is Divisive, Exclusive, and Inequality.
