The DEI era is ending — and America’s elite institutions may be dying with it

The decline of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in American elite institutions such as journalism, Hollywood, and academia. BlazeTV hosts Christopher Rufo and Jonathan “Lomez” Keeperman analyze the effects of this decline, particularly during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) era.

• Rufo argues that the BLM era did not improve the quality of output from major institutions. He questions if any significant improvements in journalism or cinema occurred during this period and concludes that they did not.

• Lomez supports this view, claiming the quality of work from these institutions is clearly worse than before, measurable by various standards.

• He notes a shift of talent away from these declining institutions toward more innovative fields like cryptocurrency and technology.

• Both hosts suggest that the decline of these elite institutions is not entirely negative and may allow for better opportunities and creativity elsewhere.

• Lomez expresses optimism, believing this decline will lead to productive developments as talent finds new avenues for their skills.

The conversation reflects a critical view of the current state of elite institutions, suggesting that their decline could lead to new possibilities and more substantial contributions in other areas.
