Peter Thiel—Declared 'whenever someone mentions DEI, you just think CCP' at conservative gala
Speaking at the New Criterion Gala, Thiel attacked diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives by comparing them to the Chinese Communist Party. He stated 'It would be healthier that, whenever someone mentions DEI, you just think CCP' and called diversity initiatives 'fundamentally reactionary.' This built on his 1995 book 'The Diversity Myth' co-authored with David Sacks.
